On January 14, 2020, support for Windows Server 2008 and 2008 R2 will end. And on July 9, 2019, support for SQL Server 2008 and 2008 R2 will end. This means the end of regular security updates from Microsoft. It is important that organizations begin planning migration and upgrade strategy today.

Security and compliance

Once end of support comes, security updates will stop. This puts datacenters at risk in an environment with more security threats than ever before. Security breaches happen every day, resulting in loss of productivity, revenue, and reputation. Additionally, running software without security updates often means that a datacenter is out of compliance—with GDPR for example.

Innovation

Newer versions of Windows Server support innovations that are not present in Windows Server 2008. There are security features that harden your platform better than ever before. Unique hybrid capabilities to leverage the cloud. Hyper converged infrastructure for significant boosts in efficiency, resiliency and performance. Container support for faster application development and innovation.

Lenovo: a strong foundation

In the development of our datacenter products, performance and reliability are key priorities for Lenovo. Lenovo holds more x86 world record benchmarks than any other, with over 120 current records. We have been ranked as #1 in server reliability for over five and a half years. We are the #1 high performance computing vendor in the world, and are #1 in SQL performance. It’s no surprise then that we are #1 in customer satisfaction and have been since January 2015.

When you combine the strong foundation of Lenovo servers together with the market leadership of Microsoft, you get best in class capability in your datacenter.
