Microsoft End-Of-Service-Life Dates

Have You Got a Migration Plan?

In July 2019 and January 2020, Windows Server and SQL Server 2008 / 2008R2 are going end of support and will expose businesses to potential risk due to the end of security updates.

Can't Migrate in Time? Don't Panic!

If you can’t migrate in time to meet these deadlines, there are options to bridge the gap:

  1. Re-host workloads in Microsoft Azure
  2. Buy Extended Security Updates

Leveraging Microsoft Azure Cloud services to re-host your workloads will allow an organisation to modernise their on-premise environment at their own pace without exposing them to security risks.

Customers with Software Assurance or an Enterprise Agreement will have the ability to purchase Extended Security Updates from Microsoft for up to 3-years after the End-of-Support date.
