Microsoft has begun withdrawing its support of NT4 - Now what?

After 8 years in the market, support for Windows NT4 is being withdrawn as of 31st December 2004. This means the end to all updates, hot fixes and online or telephone support. What was a great platform in its time may now leave you having to run old versions of applications, paying for expensive support or being dependent on hard to find technical resources.

So, if you haven't already started planning your migration from NT4, you really need to start considering what you're going to do now! - The 10 most valuable reasons for migrating>>

The smoothest course of action is to migrate from NT4 directly to Windows Server 2003.

By migrating to Windows Server 2003 on HP ProLiant servers you can:

Reduce risks

Protect your business with significant security enhancements built into Windows Server 2003. Boost system availability - 8x less unplanned downtime over Windows NT.

Lower costs

Reduce IT purchasing and running costs through consolidating onto faster HP ProLiant servers and a simpler to manage operating system. Use HP and Microsoft's centralised processes and automated tools to eliminate repetitive tasks and increase system security.

Plus, because Microsoft chose to develop Windows Server 2003 on HP ProLiant servers, with HP you get the best performing and most reliable platform for Microsoft operating systems and applications.
