Windows Server 2016 support is ending, and many organizations are asking the same question: what should happen next?
The answer is not always “buy another server.”
For some environments, moving to the cloud is the smarter long-term decision, especially for file storage, collaboration, and Microsoft 365 alignment. For others, a hybrid approach makes more sense. And in some cases, a workload still needs to remain on-prem because of a legacy application, local integration, or operational dependency.
This 1-page decision guide helps you quickly evaluate:
whether a workload is a strong fit for cloud
when hybrid is the better phased option
when an on-prem server still makes sense
what to think about before making the wrong infrastructure investment
