Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 and Windows Server 2012 are nearing end-of-life. Act now to avoid putting your business operations at risk.

Two popular Microsoft Server platforms are approaching end of life. Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 – the widely used email and calendar server software – will reach EOL on April 11th 2023. The Windows Server 2012 R2 operating system will follow on October 10th. After those dates, Microsoft will no longer provide security updates or product support for either platform, exposing you to a variety of risks if you fail to act on time.

If you’re an asset manager, hedge fund, or private equity shop that uses Exchange Server 2013, it’s critical to move quickly to upgrade to Microsoft 365, or Exchange 2019 if you’re still using on-premise servers. Otherwise, you will be vulnerable to security threats, not to mention the operational inconvenience of email and calendar applications that no longer function or synchronize correctly.

The same is true if you’re running on Windows Server 2012 R2, which requires a much more intensive migration project. Don’t put your business at risk of compatibility issues and security threats. Make plans now to move to a newer version of Windows Server before the deadline to ensure the continued security and stability of your IT infrastructure.

Or better yet, why not take this opportunity to move to Microsoft Azure and unlock the benefits of public cloud?
