Windows Server 2012 R2 End-of-Life

New Post has been published on https://www.aheliotech.com/blog/windows-server-2012-r2-end-of-life/

Windows Server 2012 R2 End-of-Life

What Does “End-of-Life” Really Mean? 

The short answer is, after October 2023, businesses still using Microsoft Server 2012 R2 will no longer receive critical security updates and patches. At this point, AhelioTech is recommending any clients using Microsoft Server 2012 R2 update your server operating system now. 

When Does Windows Server 2012 R2 Go End-of-Life? 

Unlike its higher-profile software offerings, such as Microsoft 365, Microsoft has a specific lifecycle for its Windows Server products. 

More specifically, these operating systems are released under what is known as Microsoft’s Long Term Servicing Channel (LTSC).  In a nutshell, this means that each product is supported for 10 years: the first five of which are known as  mainstream support, and the second five known as  extended support. 

As of October 2018, Server 2012 R2 entered its “extended support” phase, which will end in October 2023.  

Why is This a Problem for Your Organization? 

Cyberattackers know this timeline too! It is almost certain that cyberattackers will be waiting patiently for the product’s extended support to end, at which point they will do all they can to find exploits. 

If you continue running the server operating system, you are exposing your data and your network to potential breaches. 

What does that really mean?  Mainstream Support vs. Extending Support 

This is a simple breakdown of mainstream support vs. extended support for products such as the Windows Server range of operating systems: 

Mainstream support is essentially the glory days of a Microsoft product. It is the first five years of the product’s lifespan, and it is being continually updated with new features, service packs, updates, fixes, and more. Microsoft also offers real-time support (i.e. phone support) during this phase.  The earlier you invest in a product during its mainstream support phase, the more you’ll get out of it in the long-term – up to a decade, if you play your cards right. 

Extended support refers to the latter five years of product support per the LTSC system.  It is no longer the focus of the Microsoft team and will likely have been succeeded by at least one more product in the meantime. During extended support, customers will only receive critical security updates and reliability patches. Non-security hotfixes will not be delivered unless the customer has an extended support agreement with Microsoft – and that comes at a cost. 

What happens when Extended Support ends? 

The most important thing to remember about extended support is that, once it is expired, the product will be almost entirely unprotected by Microsoft.  So, after October 2023, Windows Server 2012 R2 will no longer receive any security updates or critical patches for key exploits.  You won’t even be able to pay for support anymore, as you can during extended support – the product is simply unsupported going forward. 

You do not want to leave your organization exposed to cyberattacks.  It is time to upgrade now to prevent any network breaches.    

What are the next steps? 

Start budgeting and planning for either replacement hardware or cloud server option.  Contact AhelioTech at sales@aheliotech.com to start planning your server replacement project in 2023.

All about the Windows Server 2012 Standard

Whether you operate as a systems administrator, professional or chief information officer for a major organization, the Windows Server 2012 standard will benefit you immensely. This Windows Server 2012 standard may be viewed as a giant step forward from Windows Server 2000. Since there aren't many versions available, licensing is simpler. The two versions are data center and standard. The number of virtual machines that may be launched simultaneously on Windows Server 2012 Standard is the sole distinction between the two versions.

 Applications and versions used

 Server 2012 basics can be used by small businesses with fewer than 25 employees. If your company is even smaller, with less than 15 employees, you can use the foundation. The Windows Server 2012 Foundation edition is only available from top original equipment manufacturers such as Dell. Otherwise, it is already installed on the hardware. Data storage has been one of the most crucial expenses for IT organizations in recent years.

 Even the size of the storage market has expanded by 30% in the last few years. Keeping this in mind, Microsoft's latest version has a deduplication capability. This is a feature of the Windows Storage Server. The goal of deduplication in this case is to reduce redundant spaces.

 Saves storage space

 The goal of deduplication in this case is to reduce duplicated spaces by over 91% across all operating system installations. As a consequence, hundreds of gigabytes are saved. The Deduplication capability is included into the core Windows operating system. Microsoft PowerPoint 2016 is the finest software program to utilize for high-impact and dynamic presentations. The images are stunning. Microsoft SQL Server 2016 would be suitable for business analytics and database administration in a corporate IT setting.

 The trim option is another feature of Windows Server 2012 Standard. The objective behind introducing the trim option is to avoid allocating a large amount of storage to a virtual machine. It takes about a year for the virtual machine to use it.

 Reclaim your storage

 So, rather than supplying a big quantity of storage to the virtual machine, you might start small. You can eventually let it to develop in controlled volumes. This will decrease storage waste. As a result, you have access to the majority of the resources. The data will be archived once the study is completed. Now the storage space may be reduced. Microsoft has created the trim feature to assist you in reclaiming storage.

This is for moving unneeded storage space. You may return it to the center pool. All apps may make use of this. Hundreds of thousands of businesses are genuinely straining to spend money on pricey hardware storage area networks. Not to mention the associated software counterparts. Thus, as opposed to purchasing the third-party tools this will be a less expensive alternative to organizing or locating pricey storage options.

Dynamic access control

The consumption of so many distinct inexpensive drives will be reduced by one trustworthy huge software pool. In a similar vein, you may boot the device without a disk. It is feasible to migrate live without shutting anything down. However, under this Windows Server 2012 standard, dynamic access control and Power Shell options are also quite helpful. In addition, Microsoft Excel 2013 has many other uses for task management, time management, graphing and charting, programming, financial analysis, data management, accounting, and data input.

CDK: Nepo Suite

Published: 9-30-2024 | Updated: N/A SUMMARY Cubic Dynamics by John B. Cube and Marcel Dusims forged the future with furnishings that were minimalist in design and maximalist in erudite pretension. Generations later, the company continues to produce edge-of-cutting-edge designs. Use the Cubic Dynamics Kitbash (Simmons, 2023-2024) collection to set up corporate, exposition, and office environments. Envisioned as an add-on to the Cubic Dynamics set (EA/Maxis, archived at GOS), it features minimalist and retro-futuristic objects. Find more CC on this site under the #co2cdkseries tag. Read the Backstory and ‘Dev Notes’ HERE. The NEPO SUITE is that corner office on the top floor, with a perfect view of the coast and skyline…..which your sim totally earned via “hard work” and dedication to the company’s vision…and their marriage to the majority shareholder’s kid.

DETAILS All EPs/SPs. §See Catalog for Pricing | See Buy/Build Mode You need the Company Expo (Mesh Pack) set (Simmons, 2024) for TXTRs to show properly in game. ALL files with “MESH” in their name are REQUIRED. You may need “move objects” and “grid on/off” cheats to place some objects to your liking. For the SKYLITE, you need the BBNiche1Master (BuggyBooz, 2012) from the original set or from the Repo Pack (Simmons, 2022). When placing partitions/floating shelves and tables/desks/counters on the same tile, place the partition/shelves first. I recommend using this set with Object Freedom 1.02 (Fway, 2023), which includes Numenor’s fix for OFB shelves (2006), for easier use overall. ITEMS Chairs (522-928 poly) Coffee Table (690 poly) Conference Table (~1180 poly) Desks 001- 002 (647-914 poly) Server Table (926 poly) Sofa (574 poly) Skylite (1376 poly) DOWNLOAD (choose one) from SFS | from MEGA COMPATIBILITY AVOID DUPLICATES: The #co2cdkseries includes edited versions – replacements - for items in the following CC sets: 4ESF (office 3, other 1/artroom, other 2/build), All4Sims/MaleorderBride (miskatonic library, office, postmodern office), CycloneSue (never ending/privacy windows), derMarcel (inx office), Katy76/PC-Sims (bank/cash point, court/law school sets, sim cola machine), Marilu (immobilien office), Murano (ador office), Reflex Sims (giacondo office), Retail Sims/HChangeri (simEx, sps store), Simgedoehns/Tolli (focus kitchen, loft office, modus office), ShinySims (modern windows), Shoukeir via Sims2Play(reverie office, step boxes/shelving), Spaik (sintesi study), Stylist Sims (offices 1,2, & 3, Toronto set), Tiggy027 (wall window frames 1-10), Wall Sims (holly architecture, Ibiza). *The goal is link the objects to the recolors/new functions in the #co2cdkseries without re-inventing the wheel!
