Need to switch from Windows Server 2003? Here’s a workshop just for you

Promo Windows Server 2003 reaches end of support on July 14th 2015, so now it is time to get prepping for the inevitable migration. Make life a little easier for yourself and join Microsoft for a free half-day workshop, titled “Transform the Data Centre”. On the day you will learn how to plan your migration to Microsoft’s Cloud OS, a platform built on Windows Server 2012 R2, Hyper-V and Microsoft Azure, and managed by Microsoft System Center 2012 R2.

Microsoft says: “The Road to a modern data centre and the cloud might seem like a daunting journey for organizations that have already made significant investments in technology and applications. We will discuss how you can take a structured approach to migrating your legacy infrastructure and applications to a modern platform and extend your data centre to the public cloud.”
