Whether it\u2019s simply upgrading and updating parts to keep it functioning (after all, a Windows 2003 server could be over a decade old!) or purchasing new software \u2013 such as intrusion detection or advanced firewalls \u2013 migrating to a newer server will prove to be the less expensive option over the long run.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Logistical<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>From compatibility issues with an unsupported piece of equipment to the lack of updates and patches, continuing to run Server 2003 is going to be quite difficult. If you\u2019re wondering how big the impact could be, consider this: in 2013 Microsoft released <em>37 critical <\/em>updates for Server 2003\/R2 \u2013 but when it officially comes to end of life those updates will no longer be available, which puts your systems at serious security risk.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Compliance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The chances of passing a compliance audit while running out-of-date, unsupported technology is slim to none, and if your company is in an industry where compliance is key, this could be a make or break factor.<\/p>\n<p>If your company is working with a Server 2003 that\u2019s about to reach end of life, TSI can assist you in migrating to a new server \u2013 from planning the migration to procuring the equipment and maintaining it throughout its lifecycle. \u00a0Give us a call at (508) 543-6979 and let us tell you how we can help you avoid being caught out when<strong>Microsoft Windows Server 2003\/R2<\/strong> hits its end-of-life date on July 14.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>For more news and updates from TSI,\u00a0follow us\u00a0on <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/TSI_Support\">Twitter <\/a>or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TSITechnology\">Facebook<\/a>!
