Businesses must plan to upgrade their servers to the latest release that will allow the latest technology to modernize their IT environments. Customers can migrate their workloads to Azure and get free Extended Security Updates for three more years, only in Azure. Customers running these releases of Windows Server on-premises will have the option to purchase Extended Security Updates.
Continuing to use outdated hardware or software, opens up organizations to malware, ransomware, and other online threats.
What does End of Life (EOL) mean?
End of Life (EOL), means that the original equipment manufacturer has determined that a specific product has reached the end of its useful or relevant lifespan. Typically, this comes on the heels of doing a recommended upgrade to the latest generation of hardware. Ultimately, it signals the impending obsolescence of a hardware or software technology that will no longer be produced or supported.
What are the risks?
The biggest risk posed to businesses that rely on obsolete technology is security. Here are some of the many disadvantages of outdated hardware or software:
- Significant, increased risk of cyber-attacks.
- Decrease in the overall performance of systems.
- Increased chances of data corruption.
- Reduction in system speeds.
- Loss of critical updates to security, software, and support.
