Windows Server 2003 R2 End-of-LifeWindows Server 2003 support will end on July 14th, 2015.

What does end of support mean for you? After July 14th, Microsoft will no longer issue security updates for any version of Windows Server 2003. If you are still running Windows Server 2003 in your data centre, you need to take steps now to plan and execute a migration strategy to protect your infrastructure and to ensure you remain compliant with business regulations.

Windows Server 2012 R2 is the recommended replacement operating system for long-term support and development.

By migrating to Windows Server virtual machines running in Virtual Data Centre, Interoute’s IaaS cloud platform, you can achieve concrete benefits, including improved performance, reduced maintenance requirements, private networking of your VMs, and increased agility and speed of response for your business.

What is Interoute VDC?(Network and Zone information correct at 14/5/2015)

Generic cloud networking SDN and other technologies provide a pseudo-private environment; in reality it is just tunneling over the insecure, non-guaranteed Internet.

Between zones there is no guarantee, SLA or security.

Interoute VDC networking (MPLS VPN)

Multiple infrastructure options: Providing huge flexibility Interoute Virtual Data Centre differentiates by offering an alternative for building infrastructure without compromising security, availability, speed or control

• IaaS shared infrastructure: Providing full compute power for all general computing requirements, with no contended RAM

• Dedicated blades: To provide full CPU performance and work within licensing requirements

• Colocation: For all non-‘cloud ready’ servers or assets that are still depreciating

All standard compute

Hybrid cloud, but privateExtend your existing infrastructure into Interoute VDC in over 300 locations in Europe using private, high bandwidth, low latency circuits - enabling you to build a hybrid cloud of existing infrastructure and cloud IaaS without traversing the Internet. *With any VDC Committed Service package, we provide our 1Gbps port for free, you just need to cross-connect to it.

Integrated IaaS: Network-based computeNot only does Interoute VDC come with its own free global connectivity it also seamlessly integrates with your existing environments with free 1Gb/s interconnects.• Complete digital Integration: By integrating your

existing network with VDC your cloud is immediately private by default

• Public/Private/Hybrid: All are possible with one integrated platform

• Totally secure: No need for any services to touch the Internet that don’t require it

• Guaranteed performance: Uncontended network from VDC data centre to your own network estate

• Provider flexibility: Move from or integrate with any IaaS, cloud or network vendor with ease

• No hidden charges: We don’t charge for any network or IOPS

Location, Location, Location = Low Latency, High Throughput

This means: more web requests per server instance therefore fewer servers so less money Or higher throughput so you get more for the same money High availability as standard – disaster AVERSION NOT RECOVERYInfrastructure integration is faster and cheaper to achieve

Data centre location is critical for the overall performance of your infrastructure. If your business is in Italy or Spain, for example, moving data back and forth to Ireland or the Netherlands introduces significant latency to all of your operations.Interoute VDC has an unrivalled distribution of data centres across Europe, located in key business cities. All are inter-connected by Interoute’s own private and fast optic fibre network.

Interoute VDC removes the complexity of multi-site High Availability setups, making development simple and easy• No IP addressing headaches• No routing needs to be setup by the

customer• No complex security is required –

networks are private• Performance is optimal due to huge

bandwidth and low latency• No charges for bandwidth
