Here is why you should upgrade right away
As we fast approach October 2023, it’s important to note that the lifecycle of Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2 is coming to an end. If your organisation is still using these versions, now is the time to make the transition to Windows Server 2022. Let’s explore why this change is so crucial for your company.:
- There will be no more security updates (yikes!)
One of the most compelling reasons to upgrade is the absence of security updates for Windows Server 2012 post its life cycle termination. Without these updates, your system could become susceptible to cyber threats and malicious software. Upgrading to Windows Server 2022 ensures that your virtual boundaries remain robust and secure.
- Improve the performance of your servers
Windows Server 2022 is not just a newer edition; it’s an advanced version designed to deliver heightened performance and efficiency. With features like Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI) and improved container support, you can expect a noticeable improvement in speed and reliability. Who wouldn’t want a smoother and more dependable system?
- Maintain your legal standing
Operating an outdated server might place your company in a challenging position with regulatory bodies. Staying up to date through an upgrade ensures compliance with rules and regulations, fostering a smoothly functioning corporate environment.
- Get the assistance you require when you require it
Imagine encountering a server issue and finding no assistance available from Microsoft. That’s a terrifying thought! However, if you’re still using Windows Server 2012 past its end-of-life date, that’s the reality you might face. Upgrading to Windows Server 2022 guarantees access to comprehensive support whenever you need it.
- Future-Ready Infrastructure
Windows Server 2022 introduces cutting-edge technologies such as Azure integration and powerful analytics. Upgrading is not just about keeping up with the times; it’s about embracing innovations that can drive your company’s progress forward.
Transitioning from Windows Server 2012 to Windows Server 2022 is a prudent decision that strengthens your organisation’s security, efficiency, and future potential.
