Windows 2003
Don’t Let Old Servers Hold Down Your Practice
As of July 14, 2015, Microsoft no longer supports Windows Server 2003. Continuing to run your server on Windows 2003 can have a profound effect on your dental practice, including the potential to expose your patient data, financial records and network stability to risks. Using an old server keeps your practice from reaching its potential – and it’s hazardous to your business.
How Will This Impact Your Practice?
Your server is the backbone of your network, and it usually houses all of your data, including financial records and patient health information (PHI). Additionally, new software applications and hardware devices may not be compatible with Windows Server 2003. Continuing to run Windows Server 2003 when Microsoft stops releasing updates may put your practice at risk. A solid migration plan to a new server can help you protect your practice.
Now Is An Excellent Time to Upgrade
You will also want to evaluate upgrading your server hardware to meet current and future needs. A number of IT experts have recently recommended new hardware when migrating from Windows Server 2003 to a new platform because existing servers are typically outdated and cannot handle the demands of modern businesses.
