Windows Server 2016 support endsJanuary 12, 2027
Plan your move
before support ends.
Support for Windows Server 2016 ends on January 12, 2027. If your ERP, production, or warehouse systems depend on it, now is the time to review your risks and options.
Start with a fixed-scope Cloud Migration Assessment covering your critical applications, infrastructure, dependencies, and possible cloud direction.

Cloud Platforms We Support
- AWS
- Alibaba Cloud
- Google Cloud
We recommend the appropriate platform based on your applications, security, performance, data residency, and budget requirements.
The challenge
Are Your Critical Applications Running on Expiring Infrastructure?
SQL Server 2016 reached the end of extended support on July 14, 2026. Windows Server 2016 follows on January 12, 2027. After extended support ends, standard security updates and technical support stop. Extended Security Updates may provide temporary coverage for eligible environments, but they are not a long-term solution.
If your systems still depend on this infrastructure, your business may face:
- Greater security and compliance risks
- Higher maintenance and support costs
- Limited room to scale
- More difficult backup and recovery
- Pressure to complete a rushed upgrade or migration
- Possible disruption to daily operations
Your applications may continue running, but keeping them secure, supported, and reliable becomes more difficult.

The essential guide
What Does Windows Server 2016 End of Support Mean for Your Business?
Windows Server 2016 will not suddenly stop working after January 12, 2027. However, standard security updates, fixes, and technical support will end.
Microsoft offers paid Extended Security Updates for eligible environments, providing additional security coverage for up to three years. ESUs are a temporary bridge while organizations upgrade or migrate.

Why plan early?
Avoid Turning a Planned Move Into an Emergency
Maintaining on-premises infrastructure involves more than buying new servers. Philippine businesses also need to consider:
Hardware maintenance and replacement
Software licensing and support
Electricity, cooling, and physical space
Backup equipment and storage
Secondary internet connections
Disaster recovery
Security monitoring
Internal IT resources
Planning early gives your team time to compare options, prepare the budget, test critical systems, and reduce disruption during migration.

Frequently Asked Questions
We cannot afford downtime on our ERP. How will migration be handled?
Migration will be planned around your operating requirements. Depending on the application, cutover may be scheduled during a weekend, holiday, or low-volume period. Continuity and rollback requirements will be defined during detailed planning.
Is the assessment free?
Yes. There is no cost for the fixed-scope assessment. Detailed design, implementation, migration, and managed services will be scoped separately if you decide to proceed.
Our hardware is not yet fully depreciated. Should we still consider cloud?
Not every organization needs to migrate immediately. The assessment will help you compare your current investment, upcoming hardware requirements, support deadlines, resilience costs, and possible cloud expenses.
How long does cloud migration take?
The timeline depends on your applications, integrations, data volume, testing requirements, and acceptable downtime. The assessment will provide an initial view of the expected scope and next steps.
Do we need to choose a cloud platform first?
No. OGIS Philippines will review your requirements before recommending AWS, Alibaba Cloud, or Google Cloud.
Will the assessment interrupt our operations?
No changes will be made to your live environment during the initial assessment. We will review the information provided through discussions, documents, and approved discovery activities.
