Droplet Windows 2012 EOL

Never-Trust vs Zero-Trust

Futureproof Your Business With Droplet NeverTrust Containers

Securely migrate your Windows Server 2012 applications inside a Droplet NeverTrustTM container, on the server architecture (or cloud) of your choice. Without any compatibility issues or code rewrites and multiple layers of security.

If your IT runs smoothly, and your software is working as it should, upgrading your server architecture may lead to disruption and, in the worst case, loss of business. Windows Server 2012 is now out of support, which could lead to you facing one of the following scenarios:

Rewriting your software to run on a new operating system.

Upgrade your software or switch to an entirely new software systems.

Upgrading your server hardware to run the newer operating system.

Installing VMs on new hardware to run your apps as an interim measure while awaiting budget.

Keeping your system running as is and sign up with Microsoft for Extended Security Updates (ESUs).

‘Lift and shift’ to a cloud service such as Azure, which offers 3 more years of extended support.

If these scenarios feel like temporary ‘fixes,’ fraught with security and operational pitfalls, you’re right.

There is an alternative: Droplet.

Droplet lets you keep your legacy apps and servers running as they are currently configured, in a containerised environment. No need for hardware upgrades, as Droplet containers run leaner and cooler. Run more apps on the same system or run multiple containers on one containerised VM.

Moving to the cloud?

Droplet container apps run equally well on cloud services, such as Azure, AWS and Google Cloud.
