February 15, 2024 will be the End of Atlassian Server Support, and as an Atlassian Platinum Partner specializing in Cloud, we at Itera are committed to helping you during this transition. Effective that date, Atlassian will no longer provide technical support, security updates, and critical vulnerability fixes for Server releases.

Atlassian’s Server to Cloud migration offers a number of significant benefits for companies and teams that choose to take this step.

Learn about the benefits of getting on the cloud:

Continuous Updates: With Atlassian’s cloud solution, users get access to the latest features, enhancements, and security updates on a regular and automatic basis. This ensures that they are always using the most up-to-date and secure version of the software.

Scalability and Flexibility: The Atlassian Cloud easily adapts to the changing needs of a growing business. It allows users to be added or removed and storage capacity can be adjusted according to business demands, providing greater flexibility and operational efficiency.

Lower Maintenance Burden: By using the cloud, IT teams are freed from the responsibility of maintaining infrastructure and performing maintenance tasks, such as upgrades and patches. This allows them to focus on more strategic activities for the company.

Access from Anywhere: With the Atlassian Cloud, users can access tools and applications from anywhere with an internet connection. This facilitates collaboration between remote teams and improves productivity.

Increased Security: Atlassian Cloud implements high security standards to protect user data and information. It has advanced security measures and ensures effective protection against cyber threats.

Collaboration Enhancements: The cloud platform facilitates collaboration across teams and departments by sharing information and working in real-time on shared projects.

Simplified Integrations: Atlassian Cloud offers native integrations with other cloud tools and services, making it easy to synchronize data and workflow between different applications.

Automatic Backup: The Atlassian cloud performs automatic and periodic backups of data, ensuring the protection and availability of information in case of loss or incidents.

For many organizations, it’s not easy to migrate legacy applications because they rely heavily on older, unsupported operating systems. Added to this complexity is limited in-house expertise and lack of access to installation media or source code.

Similarly, obtaining extended support for these applications does not solve the inevitable problem of end of support; it only postpones it.

That’s why AWS offers the Windows Server End of Support (EMP) Migration Program, which includes technology and expert guidance to migrate legacy Windows Server 2003, 2008, and 2008 R2 applications to newer, supported versions on AWS, without refactoring or code change.

How does the EMP work?

This technology decouples applications from the underlying operating system, allowing AWS Professional Services or Partners to migrate critical applications to a new, supported version of Windows Server on AWS, making it possible to continue to optimize the operations and costs of those applications.

With EMP technology, you identify the deprecated operating system elements that your application depends on and create a package that includes the resources needed to run it on the newest version of Windows Server.

Included in the package are all application files, runtimes, components, and deployment tools, as well as an engine that redirects your application’s API calls to files within the package.

This resolves dependency issues and decouples the application from the underlying operating system. This allows you to run your packaged app on later versions of Windows Server, which means you don’t have to worry about updating your apps when the next Windows Server end-of-support event occurs.

Learn about the benefits of EMP for Windows Server:

Preparing for future changes to your legacy applications.

Protects applications from periodic end-of-support events by decoupling these applications from the underlying unsupported Windows Server operating system. This means that when the next end-of-support event occurs, you can simply migrate your applications and then run them on the latest supported version of Windows Server with no code changes.

Risk reduction.

When you run applications packaged on supported versions of Windows Server, you proactively receive the latest patches and security enhancements for the operating system that aren’t available for older versions. This protects your applications against vulnerabilities in older operating systems.

Reduced cost and complexity.

Migrating legacy applications to newer, more supported versions of Windows Server often requires refactoring, which is costly and complex due to limited in-house expertise in those applications. With this technology, you no longer have to refactor applications to ensure compatibility with the new version of Windows Server. You only pay for expert interaction to drive the migration of your applications to AWS, reducing the cost and complexity associated with the process.

Compatibility with a wide range of applications.

This technology supports even the most complex applications, including those that rely heavily on older versions of the operating system, such as registries, libraries, and other files, allowing applications to be updated regardless of the availability of codes or installation media.

With more than 20 years of experience in digital transformation solutions in Latin America, at Itera we help your organization integrate its development and operation processes so that they advance at high speed.

VMware and AWS provide organizations with a fast, easy, and cost-effective path to hybrid cloud while enabling customers to modernize applications with co-engineered solutions. Use your current governance, processes, and skills to deliver secure virtual desktops and applications with our virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) solutions to enable your workforce to work securely from any location. The new Amazon EC2 i3en.metal instances for VMware Cloud on AWS, powered by Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, deliver high network performance and lower latency so you can migrate data centers to the cloud for rapid data center evacuation, disaster recovery, and application modernization.

With more than 3 years of co-engineering, VMware and AWS provide organizations with the benefits of enhanced VMware capabilities built into the solution and a single point of contact for support and integration of services. That’s why VMware Cloud on AWS is our preferred service for all vSphere workloads.

HIGHER LEVEL OF INNOVATION

VMware workloads running on AWS have access to a broad and comprehensive range of more than 175 AWS services, including compute, database, analytics, IoT, AI/machine learning, security, and more. Applications that are latency-sensitive and hosted on VMware can directly access Aurora, Dynamo, or Redshift databases to perform petabyte-scale data analytics. In addition, they have secure and direct access to S3 buckets, objects, and API functions at a low cost.

SIMPLIFIED OPERATIONS

Organizations can simplify their hybrid IT operations by using the same VMware Cloud Foundation technologies, including vSphere, vSAN, NSX, and vCenter Server, in both their on-premises data center environments and in the AWS Cloud. You can also keep the same VMware lifecycle, storage, and provisioning policies in place. This means you can easily migrate applications between on-premises and AWS environments without having to purchase new hardware, rewrite applications, or modify your operations.

COST REDUCTION

VMware Cloud on AWS enables organizations to optimize the costs of using a consistent and consistent hybrid IT environment. There is no need to deploy custom hardware in the on-premises environment, nor do you need to modify applications to switch to a hybrid cloud model. You can use VMware’s policy and management tools on-premises and in VMware Cloud on AWS, so you have a unified and operationally consistent experience. These capabilities allow you to leverage all of your existing investments to help save money.

IMPROVE AVAILABILITY

VMware Cloud on AWS helps accelerate the migration of VMware vSphere-based workloads to the highly scalable and available AWS Cloud. The service enables VMware-based workloads to run directly on Amazon EC2’s dedicated infrastructure based on next-generation Nitro systems and be provisioned in an isolated, single-tenant Amazon VPC. This strategy enables organizations to immediately take advantage of the scalability, availability, security, and global reach of the AWS Cloud.
