Do you need to spend $5,000+ on a new server?
The answer for most SMB's is NO
Is Migration worth it?
Microsoft would love for you to migrate to a new server with Windows Server 2012 operating system, lots of licencing fees for Microsoft and lots of money for their hardware partners, IBM, Dell, HP etc. but do you need to?
YES …you DO need to migrate OFF Server 2003 but
… you do not need to migrate to Windows Server 20012
You have at least 6 options.
Option 1 – Migrate to Windows Server 2008
Option 2 – Migrate to Windows Small Business Server 2011
Option 3 – Migrate your data to a NAS drive
Option 4 – Migrate your data and programs to a Linux Server
Option 5 – Migrate your data and programs to a Mac Server
Option 6 – Migrate your data and programs to the Cloud
