CHANGE a running system.

Take the performance test and change your perspective.

The proverb ‘never change a running system’ is attributed to former England manager Alf Ramsey, but, as every team manager knows, this will only lead to short-term success. To ensure a success in the long term, a good manager will test performance. Even top teams such as Bayern Munich and the McLaren Group are continually testing and optimising their performance.

This is also true of operating systems, applications and hardware, whose features are rethought on a daily basis. And that’s how it should be! Otherwise, you couldn’t maintain your success, let alone expand on it.

And that’s exactly what Microsoft has done for you. In 2020, restructuring is going to provide higher functionality and enhanced security measures: Support for Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Small Business Server 2011 will come to an end on 14 January 2020, meaning that there will no longer be any regular security updates. Make sure that your infrastructure and applications continue to be protected, because your data are the foundations of your business. Get ready for this end of support and use the coming weeks to explore what Bechtle can offer you today—test your existing data centre and let us advise you on the switch to Windows Server 2019.

What are the benefits of Windows Server 2019?

You get more security, performance and innovation.

The new Windows Server 2019 is the operating system that bridges the gap between on-premise and cloud services. Windows Server 2019 helps you expand your business and operations in the cloud. It maximises your existing investments and builds on Windows Server security app innovations and HCI features (hyper converged infrastructure) to complement your local IT investment with cloud solutions.

Benefit from features such as Windows Defender Guard to reduce the attack surface of apps used by employees and also Windows Admin Center to simplify inbox management. Furthermore, System Insights provide highly accurate predictions of how user behaviour develops on your servers.

Put your infrastructure to the performance test. 

At Bechtle, our focus is on holistic approaches, which is why we’d like to offer you the option to take an infrastructure performance test in the course of the support switch.

A performance test provides a better overview of your existing IT infrastructure. You are suddenly able to see clearly exactly where the bottlenecks are in your system. Are latency times too high or is it actually the write speeds? Is it the memory that's limiting performance or is it the CPU? Or is there still RAM potential?

This results in different courses of action, one of which is an optimal mix of different infrastructure solutions individually tailored to the needs of our customers.

while also taking external factors into account: When was the existing hardware purchased and what is its depreciation period? What challenges does the customer face? How can precise modernisation help to achieve their goals?

TAKE THE PERFORMANCE TEST

While our performance test is carried out in cooperation with Dell, it is vendor-independent.
