With the end of support date of July 2015 rapidly approaching for Windows Server 2003 you may be thinking how is this going to impact my production servers, going forward Microsoft will not be providing any new patches or security updates for Windows Server 2003.
This means that any systems running 2003 server will become security and business risks, putting your applications and other servers within the network at risk and presenting a compliance headache.
There are still in the region of 10 million machines still running Windows Server 2003, is your company one of them? If so the time is now to start working on extracting the data and applications from these legacy servers and transferring the applications and data to newer machines.
No updates
Will be developed or released after the end of support.
No compliance
And lack of compliance with standards and regulations can be devastating.
No safe haven
