Microsoft ® will end service & support for Windows Server ® 2003 on July 14,2015 And yes, the implications are dire: Without security patches or upgrades, your machines and business data will grow increasingly vulnerable to hackers. But Windows End of Life Doesn’t Have to Be THE APOCALYPSE 24 million servers will be affected Handling an accelerating business world with legacy servers and obsolete computers means more breakdowns, and the cost and productivity delays that come with them. Servers older than four years deliver 4% of performance on 65% of the energy. A server upgrade ensures that your security remains intact on your network, accepting all patches and upgrades, to keep pace with ever-evolving cybercriminals. A refreshed data center can best be measured in all the help desk calls your workers DON’T make, the network downtime they DON’T experience, and all the business productivity that is NOT lost as a result. A Decisive Refresh of Your Servers Can Change Calamity… Into Opportunity Non-Compliance As your security infrastructure falls behind, you may face stiff penalties, heavy fines, or both as you fall out of compliance with industry standards. Performance Newer server models are Windows 8.1- compliant, consume less power and dramatically enhance your computing power. How would all THAT affect your bottom line? • New servers can double your storage capacity • Apps can run up to 6 TIMES faster • Increase computing capacity by as much as 70% A Chance to Lead Your Industry With smaller, more powerful servers, you’ll save space in your data center, run leaner and better position yourself for virtualization, cloud technologies and long term growth. • Windows 2008 apps are compatible with Windows Server 2012 • New servers feature built-in virtualization hypervisors, improved system scale and improved manageability. Businesses that run credit cards or eCommerce sites answer to strict PCI standards. Healthcare providers must remain consistently HIPPA-compliant. Winds of Chance Businesses that don’t respond travel a risky road. By ignoring upgrades, jeopardizing industry compliance and letting their security erode, they are essentially betting their business data and future as an enterprise on deteriorating machines.
