SharePoint Server 2019 End of Life: Planning Your Migration
As SharePoint Server 2019 approaches its end of life, Fiboo guides you through shaping your migration strategies. Protect your data, ensure business continuity, and leverage the latest SharePoint features.
SharePoint Server 2019's End of Life is Approaching
Microsoft SharePoint Server 2019 has been a critical workload platform for many organizations. However, like all software products, SharePoint Server 2019 has a lifecycle. In this article, we'll discuss what the end of life for SharePoint Server 2019 means, your migration options, and how Fiboo can assist you.
What is a Lifecycle and Why Does it Matter?
The Microsoft product lifecycle specifies how long a product will be supported and receive updates. The end of life (EOL) means that the product will no longer receive security updates, bug fixes, or technical support. This can lead to risks such as security vulnerabilities and compliance issues.
Migration Options for SharePoint Server 2019
When SharePoint Server 2019 reaches its end of life, your main migration options are:
- Migrate to SharePoint Server Subscription Edition: Upgrade to the latest version of on-premises SharePoint Server to take advantage of the most up-to-date features and continuous support.
- Migrate to SharePoint Online: Migrate to SharePoint Online as part of Microsoft 365 to benefit from the flexibility, scalability, and continuous updates of the cloud.
