Danger in your Data Center

Last April I wrote about the risks of using the Windows XP desktop operating system after Microsoft support for that system expired. On July 15, another important Microsoft operating system is reaching the end of its supported life: Windows Server 2003. This presents a far more severe risk for your business.

One reason is simply the potential scope of impact. Unlike a desktop computer, a server hosts an application or database across an entire department, line of business or even the whole company. The scope is compounded for small businesses because many extend their hardware investment by running multiple applications and databases across one server.

The second factor, a potentially larger risk, is increased exposure to a data breach. After July 15, security updates will no longer be available for Server 2003. This means any new exploits could provide a doorway into your company’s most sensitive data.
