Windows Server 2008 end of support: Take Action with HPE ProLiant for Microsoft Azure Stack!
Businesses all over the world utilize Microsoftโs Windows Operating Systems, ranging from Windows 2008 to Windows 2016. Microsoft has announced support for Windows Server 2008 and 2008 R2 will end on January 14th, 2020. Currently, over four million legacy servers are now facing this deadline.
Many customers are unsure of what action to take since Windows Server 2008 is still very much in use. After the January 14th deadline, customers running Windows Server 2008 will no longer have access to support, security updates, or feature updates from Microsoft. If no action is taken, businesses will be at risk of exposure to vulnerabilities, cyberattacks, and increased operational expenses.
Fortunately, customers can take advantage of available options before the 2020 date occurs, one of which is to upgrade to Windows Server 2016 with HPE ProLiant for Microsoft Azure Stack.
HPE ProLiant for Microsoft Azure Stack is an integrated Microsoft Azure hybrid cloud solution that incorporates compute, storage, and networking, enabling users to run Azure consistent services on premises.
