In the wake of Windows Server 2012 reaching the end of its extended support on 10th October 2023, businesses find themselves at a crossroads as the platform will no longer receive security updates, leaving businesses vulnerable to cyber attacks if immediate action isn’t taken. Our role as your trusted IT partner becomes pivotal and as Microsoft partners, we understand the challenges posed by the products end of life (EOL) and stand ready to help your business navigate the challenges smoothly.
In this article, we explore the consequences of operating in a post-Windows Server 2012 era and present strategic options: upgrading to Windows Server 2022 or embracing cloud-based solutions, with our expertise paving the way.
With the EOL deadline in the rearview mirror, Windows Server 2012 stands devoid of security patches and updates, making it an open target for cyber threats. The risks of data breaches and ransomware attacks loom larger for businesses navigating the security limbo of unsupported systems.
As your IT partner, we provide a shield against cyber threats, offering vigilant monitoring, timely updates, and proactive measures to safeguard your business from potential data breaches and ransomware attacks.
In the regulatory landscape of GDPR and PCI DSS, compliance is non-negotiable. The consequences range from financial penalties to the potential loss of licenses, intensifying the urgency for businesses to reassess their IT infrastructure. Our IT support expertise ensures that your systems align with data protection regulations, mitigating the risk of financial penalties and licensing issues that may arise from non-compliance.
Post-EOL, the absence of official technical support from Microsoft creates a void. Our IT support team steps in to fill this gap, providing the expertise and resources needed to troubleshoot and resolve issues promptly. Your business is not alone – we are here to address your IT concerns and keep your operations running smoothly.
One of the simplest solutions is to upgrade your Windows Server, reusing your existing infrastructure but with a newer operating system. Our team can carry out a comprehensive assessment of your existing infrastructure to ensure a smooth upgrade to Windows Server 2022. We handle the intricacies of hardware compatibility, system requirements, and the migration process, allowing your business to reap the benefits of improved security and enhanced performance without disruptions.
Migrating to cloud-based services, particularly Microsoft Azure, opens new horizons for your business. We guide you through the transition, leveraging the scalability, cost-effectiveness, and security measures of the cloud. The seamless integration of Windows Server 2022 with Microsoft Azure becomes a strategic move, and our expertise ensures a seamless and secure migration.
