AppZero, the fastest way to move enterprise applications, today announced the results of its first «State of Readiness for Windows Server 2003 End of Support (EOS)» survey. The 2013 results of more than 200 Fortune 1,000 companies show that 40% of respondents wish to move to the cloud as part of their EOS remediation efforts.
The full results of the survey are available here and indicate that with eighteen months until support ends, the majority of respondents still have significant numbers of machines running WS2003. Security compliance and vulnerability management are a major concern and many organizations are not aware of or prepared to deal with the impending challenge.
