Part
of maintaining a business in the 21st century is trying to cope with
all the tech developments and advancements that run the modern world. Just like
you don’t want to be driving an old, barely street-legal/ road-safe car on
modern streets plied by faster, eco-friendlier, and cheaper to maintain modern
rides, you also don’t want a computer engine with bare minimum features to help
your business get by. You are setting your business up for stagnation by
resting on old technology.
Even
when you are perfectly content with what old versions of technology are doing
for your business, its backward thinking to be satisfied with what they have to
offer, because newer and better systems will definitely come to cater to what
they lack and even fix issues that are hindering your productivity. The same is
true when it comes to Windows Enterprise Servers.
One of the main reasons why you should consider constant updates is because as
time goes, old systems no longer receive upgrades and eventually go
unsupported, especially when newer, more robust systems come to the surface.
If
you still haven’t migrated to Windows 2016, an upgrade may well benefit your operations,
especially when you are looking for a hybrid-ready solution that can help gear
you up for the evolving requirements and demands on enterprise IT
infrastructures. If you are still not convinced about an upgrade, perhaps
knowing that the latest Windows Server to reach end-of-life was only 15 years
old (WS 2003) and it will not be long until the next in line 2008 R2 platform
will follow WS 2003’s footsteps. End-of-life products no longer receive fixes
or new features, which makes them extremely vulnerable to failures and security
breaches.
With
Windows Server 2016, you don’t only get the advantage of updates, but the full
benefits of a cloud-ready platform, while also enjoying improvements in key
areas like security and software defined datacenters.
