Windows Server 2008 End of Life

Windows Server 2008

The End of Windows Server 2008

In January 2015, Microsoft chose to extend the support agreement for Windows 2008 Servers until January 14, 2020. This five-year agreement also included Windows 2008 R2 extended support. As the deadline approaches companies with Windows Server 2008 need to consider their next steps. If you do not upgrade to a supported version of Windows Server then you put your infrastructure at risk.

A Tech Refresh or the Cloud

According to Forrester’s Predictions 2020: Cloud Computing report, the public cloud market is estimated to reach $411 billion in 2022. This prediction signals the potential growth of the public cloud. As companies move from traditional data center infrastructures, older equipment will be rendered obsolete.
