Make the shift from Microsoft Windows Server 2008


Support ended 14 January 2020. Now’s the time to move to Windows Server 2019.


What does end of support for Windows Server 2008 mean?


IT departments will no longer receive patches or security updates. This will leave your organisation vulnerable and open to malicious attacks. Hackers are always looking for gaps in your armour; hardware and software that lack the latest security updates are prime targets. In addition, every new application created will be designed to run on the very latest operating system (OS), which is Windows Server 2019. If you’re using an OS that’s no longer receiving support, it can be challenging to deploy and upgrade apps. You’ll be left running legacy apps that become less effective every day.


Time is running out


For organisations still using Windows Server 2008, time is running out. Like other Microsoft products, it has a 5 year lifecycle and on 14th January 2020, support ended. Whilst it didn’t suddenly stop functioning, you won’t get any manufacturer supported fixes if any issues occur.
