Windows Server and SQL Server End-of-Support: Secure Legacy Systems with Azure Migration or Azure Arc
This solution brief presents two paths for protecting Windows Server 2012/2012 R2 and SQL Server 2012 environments after end of support. Organizations can migrate workloads to Azure virtual machines and receive Extended Security Updates, use Azure Hybrid Benefit, and modernize with services such as Azure App Service and Azure SQL Managed Instance. Alternatively, they can keep systems on-premises or in multicloud environments while purchasing and deploying Extended Security Updates through Azure Arc on a pay-as-you-go basis. Optimus supports assessment, migration, modernization planning, Arc foundation setup, connected-machine deployment, automation, and ongoing technical support to improve security, compliance, and operational efficiency.
