Hewlett-Packard and Microsoft are continuing their longstanding partnership with a new migration support program for Windows Server 2003 customers, which was announced during this weeks Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference 2014



From The VAR Guy:

Both companies are promising a complete portfolio of channel-optimized IT solutions, services, training and financing to give their joint partners a way to drive individual growth and meet customer needs in the wake of Windows Server 2003’s demise. The migration program comes on the heels of the popular OS’s end-of-life announcement, when Microsoft officially ended technical support for the now decade-old operating system.

“This is a true server upgrade opportunity,” said Jim Ganthier, vice president of Global Initiatives and HP Servers, in an interview with The VAR Guy. “We understand that the channel will be key in the execution of this, so in addition to products and solutions and offerings, we’re also putting into place programs, incentives, training and education to make sure that our channel partners are wildly successful in the delivery of such [solutions].”
