Act now: Upgrade from Windows Server 2008 with simple HPE SMB solutions that improve productivity

[Willa]

From my previous blog you learned how you can leverage simple solutions that have been created to help companies keep their businesses running. Today I want to share with you some key solutions that will help improve productivity. 

 You already know that end of support for Windows Server 2008 is happening soon; and perhaps you are looking for that right solution that you can trust.  For a start, HPE Small Business Solutions have been lab tested and validated to accomplish the workload objectives outlined in all these use cases.  HPE has simplified the configurations so that you can easily select what you need to run your business size and they are specially priced for affordability.  On top of this, these solutions are built on security that protects, detects, and recovers – forming the strongest defence for your server infrastructure.  Plus you can also take advantage of the modern security, management and performance features of Windows Server 2016, providing even greater peace of mind.

Improving productivity is a major goal for many businesses; the more productive the business is, the more money they can bring in.  HPE and Microsoft have worked together for over 30 years to combine our respective strengths and deliver innovative technologies, services, and support that can help businesses increase productivity. 
These Small Business Solutions are built to keep IT simple and provide SMBs the tools they need to thrive.

• HPE Small Business Solutions for Multi-function can run several productivity/collaboration applications on a single server, resulting in improved employee collaboration, reduction in IT costs, and doing more with less.
• HPE Small Business Solutions for Small Office Deployment or “Set up IT in a snap” solution is a complete solution bundles thus allowing you to focus on getting the new office open on schedule—and on budget. The solution brings together the performance, management, reliability, and security features of HPE ProLiant Gen10 servers, Aruba wired and wireless networking with smart management tools, and the peace of mind of HPE Foundation Care.
• HPE Small Business Solutions for Hybrid Dev/Test provide flexible resources that don’t impact mission critical and other local workloads. This accelerates delivery cycles by empowering teams to test, develop, and deploy applications on- or off-premises with more resource availability and better collaboration between developers. The solution combines an on-premises HPE ProLiant server with Microsoft Azure Cloud Services to create a self-service environment where developers can quickly provision Dev/Test environments.

With the Windows Server 2008 End of Support deadline fast approaching, the need to upgrade legacy environments has never been more compelling.  Take action with HPE Small Business Server Solutions to help SMBs migrate to a modern and safe environment.
