It’s the end of an era. Microsoft is pulling the plug on its support for Windows Server 2003 – which has kept the wheels turning for thousands of small and mid-sized business worldwide.
The work horse of the past era will officially celebrate its retirement on July 14, 2015. Without future security updates and patches, your servers are wide open to anyone – or any bot – wanting to have a pop at bypassing your online security.
That means that for all those companies still on those servers, it’s high time to start jumping on to a more modern equivalent, such as Windows Server 2012 R2 and/or Microsoft Azure.
This is why we’ve teamed up with Microsoft to provide migration expertise, and offer 15 businesses free packages on the latest server solution to help make the transition a little bit smoother.
Each winning business will receive a whole host of new licenses:
– One free Windows Server 2012 R2 license with 10 client access licenses
– One free SQL Server 2014 license with one client access license
The whole package clocks in at $1,890, all you have to do is enter the sweepstake competition, which you can do here.
Each month from March to May, five winners will be drawn, and non-winners will roll over to the next month for another chance.
The closing date is May 31st, so what are you waiting for?
