2. Digital transformation requires flexibility
12/29/2017
Digital transformation requires flexibility
Speed and innovation
Stability and predictability
Applications are moving to cloud
Applications require modernization
Mission critical and legacy applications need to keep running without disruption; Upgrades can be expensive and complicated
IT is facing a transformation
Customers run applications in the cloud, while others stay on premises (legacy/custom LOB applications, regulatory requirements, sensitive business information).
We estimate a large share of workloads are still running on older server versions; however 2008 versions ending support in less than two years
Customers have projects in flight; Are reluctant to make changes to existing stable systems; See migration as complicated and likely to be expensive; cannot afford downtime on mission critical applications
Customers run into the risk of becoming unsupported and non-compliant
MSFT is committed to proactively provide an option to you for a smoother experience per your feedback from few years ago on 2003 (expensive, complicated, etc.) that can help plan in advance using a low cost option
Can help you stay supported and compliant and avoid business disruption risks
Support both Infrastructure and platform longer; run applications longer without any changes to it
Removes roadblocks related to migration
Speed and innovation
Stability and predictability
In cloud era, many apps and workloads remain on prem
Business critical apps and customers may not wnt to take on the project risk or investment for upgrade/migration
Staying supported is important as customers will be covered and compliance reasons
risk for business disruptions, increased maintenance costs and security and compliance issues
flexibility to deploy on-premises or in the cloud, to manage modern apps
path for continued growth, and opened the door for new possibilities down the road
