SoftwareONE and Refresh-IT Server Analysis | Solution Background
 The adoption of Cloud Services within organisations is significantly increasing
 The current trend is towards moving new workloads to the clouds
 There is a desire to move legacy workloads and applications to the cloud but Organisations have concerns
over the time and cost it would take to upgrade them
SoftwareONE have found that may organisations are planning to undertake a review of their current IT
infrastructure with specific emphasis on Windows Server 2003, which is now end of life, and SQL 2005 which goes
end of support in April 2016.
The Refresh-IT Application can streamline this process by giving an overview of resource options, approach and
associated costs to migrate away from Windows 2003 Server and SQL 2005.
