windows 2003 logo
Most IT administrators will be aware that Windows Server 2003 is coming to an end. In case you haven’t heard, after 14th July 2015 you will no longer be able to get extended support for Windows Server 2003. Basically speaking this means you will not be able to get patches or security updates for your Windows Server 2003 and therefore you will be putting your computer applications and business at risk.

No longer will security risks be addresses and very quickly your Windows Server 2003 will become a huge security risk and a massive compliance nightmare. Microsoft warns Windows Server 2003 users of performance bottlenecks but this is just one of a long list of major concerns and worries for users.
Windows Server 2003 has been running for many years and there are lots of 64-bit/x64-systems out there, but still lots of people are running Windows Server 2003 every day and will continue to do so until it comes to the end of its life in just a few months.

Here at Pure Planet Recycling we predict a surplus of server equipment being recycled. Many businesses are seeing this as a chance to upgrade their server hardware and operating systems but what does this mean for Windows Server 2003 equipment? It may be possible that some hardware will support the upgrade but for owners of older equipment the servers and equipment will need to be disposed in the right way, and that is where we can help.
