Microsoft Life Cycle

Keeping Microsoft Operating Systems upto date with patches and updates from Microsoft, helps to keep your system free from Cyber Attack and any other issues.

All Microsoft products have a product life cycle, the end of this life cycle is called “Extended support”

When the Microsoft “Extended Support” phase ends the following are no longer available

  • Paid support (via Microsoft)
  • Security update and patches
  • The ability to request a non-security hotfix (aka Extended Hotfix Support)

We want to make it clear that the software will not stop working after this date.

You need to be aware that without these key services that are available to you, the IT Security and Stability of your IT Systems is under threat.

Our final back stop is Support from Microsoft (including paid). Without this, there may be a time when we may not be able to assist with fixing issues potentially causing prolonged downtime.

With regards to Server operating systems. Again, you could purchase an upgraded operating system.

We will provide IT Support Services and IT Support Contracts for End Of Life Products on a best endeavours basis once the Manufacturer has ended support for these products.

Our advice for all SME businesses that has Servers/ PCs and Laptops, these should be changed at least every 5 years. Most business have a 3 - 5 year IT Replacement life Cycle. This will allow for better reliability and a chance to purchase replacement parts if and when required.

I.T equipment older than 5 years in a business environment, should be considered beyond its useful, reliable life

We can provide you with an I.T Asset Audit and also provide asset utilisation and disk space projections. This will help identify problem areas and plan an I.T upgrade or replacement program

We would not recommend using obsolete, unsupported or insecure Microsoft Windows operating Systems that are longer supported by Microsoft. And critically, Microsoft are no longer providing Windows Updates

If you are running any of the operating systems that will go End of Life at the end of 2019. Plan to replace them before the end of the year!

If for any reason you plan to still use an obsolete operating system, please do so at your own risk and in isolation, away from the business computer network.

 

IT Security will only be as good as the weakest link!
