At the 100-day mark for end of support, CIOs have an opportunity to modernize their business with Windows Server 2012 R2 and Microsoft Azure for improved productivity and operational efficiency. As businesses deal with the demands of the mobile workplace – multiple devices, increasing number of new applications, increasing need for collaboration and more, IT leaders need to prioritize investing in a cloud –optimized infrastructure over keeping the lights on with old technology. Consolidation, flat IT budgets, and increasing demand for data are further driving the move.<br /> <br />Tyler Bryson, General Manager, Marketing and Operations, Microsoft said, “With only 100 days remaining for the end of support for Windows Server 2003, it’s time for businesses to accelerate their migration plans.

We urge all businesses to transition to Windows Server 2012 R2 or Microsoft Azure to reduce risks, embrace the latest in platform technology and modernize their infrastructure. Along with our partners, we are committed to help customers to move to modern Microsoft platforms.”<br /><br /><strong>Mitashi Partners With Rajasthan Royals</strong><br />India's leading premium homegrown value brand - Mitashi has partnered with the Rajasthan Royals for the eighth season of the Indian Premier League to be held in the summer of 2015.
