Microsoft Windows Server 2008/R2 out of support

Jan 23, 2020

[vc_single_image image=”1939″ img_size=”medium”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1581524985102{margin-top: 20px !important;}”]MS Windows Server 2008 and 2008 R2 reached end-of-support on 14th January 2020.

Microsoft will no longer provide automatic fixes, updates, or online technical assistance. Vulnerabilities in the operating system that are discovered after this date will not be fixed by Microsoft. Furthermore, after that date security updates, bug fixes or technical content updates for the legacy platform will no longer be available. Consequently, data and resources that are tied to Windows Server 2008 or R2 will become increasingly vulnerable to cyber-attacks and it won’t be long before those systems are specifically targeted and exploited.

What action should you take now?

The recommended solution is to migrate to Microsoft Azure Cloud Platform. HAYNE is a Microsoft Gold Partner offering a fully managed and tailored hosting solution based on the Microsoft Azure IaaS platform which includes:
