The Risks of Not Upgrading from Server 2012
As we advance technologically, it is essential to maintain pace with the evolution of systems and software. With the forthcoming end-of-life (EOL) for Server 2012 R2, businesses will face the urgent necessity to upgrade their infrastructure to continue benefiting from optimal performance, scalable solutions, and robust security. If your business is among those using Server 2012 R2, it’s time to get moving!
Upgrading from Server 2012 R2 – A Proactive IT Strategy
Here at Info-Tech Montreal, we emphasize the importance of being proactive in your IT strategy, and the upcoming Server 2012 EOL offers an opportunity to reinforce this principle. If you haven’t already, we encourage you to check your hardware inventory report, specifically the OS or operating system section. If it states Server 2012 R2, now is the time to act.
But why, you might ask, is the upgrade imperative? We’ve broken down the reasons for you.
Decreased Performance
Over time, older servers suffer from performance degradation, slowing down operations and productivity. Post EOL, Server 2012 R2 will no longer receive performance-enhancing updates, making your systems more likely to lag.
Halted Scalability
A business must be capable of growing and adapting to changes. An old server can impede your ability to scale, limiting your ability to expand infrastructure or take advantage of new software or technologies.
Security Risks
One of the most severe implications of the Server 2012 R2 EOL is the cessation of security updates, leaving your systems susceptible to cyber threats. In a world where cyber-attacks are increasingly prevalent, businesses cannot afford to ignore potential vulnerabilities.
Out-of-Date Applications
Lastly, old servers inevitably lead to outdated applications. Server 2012 R2 will soon be incompatible with newer versions of applications, causing significant functionality issues and potentially hindering the smooth running of your business operations.
