Microsoft abandons support for Windows Server 2003 on July the 14 this year and that means servergeddon for IT managers who don’t keep up with the upgrades.
In fact, according tech company Insight UK, there are five “power struggles” set to happen in enterprises and public organisations on Bastille Day – that’s the 14th of July.
Insight estimates that 24 million servers worldwide could well be affected – and nearly 40 percent of Server OSes are Windows 2003.
Microsoft wants people to use its Azure Data Centre Migration but many have left things too little and too late.
Insight thinks that migrating servers could take an estimated 18 months, and short term patches cause problems in the migration.
And another problem is lack of compatability and interoperability problems, while new environments will require time to get to grips sure.
Sure enough, this is leading Insight to one conclusion – it can help you out. “Panic is not an option,” said MD Emma de Sousa, after telling enterprises that they better had panic, and quickly.
