Cochlear Selects AppZero for Easy Migration of Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Applications to Minimize Cybersecurity Risks

Andover, MA (PRWEB) November 19, 2014

Cochlear Limited, the global leader in implantable hearing solutions, has selected AppZero for easy migration of its Microsoft Windows Server 2003 applications, a major priority for IT organizations before Microsoft ends support on July 14, 2015. AppZero software enables server application migration from old operating systems to new platforms or clouds and has been proven to be ten times faster, more reliable and efficient than alternative approaches. Organizations that fail to upgrade their Windows 2003 servers increase cybersecurity risks because Microsoft will no longer issue security updates after the end of support period, making business and other applications more vulnerable to attack.

AppZero’s Windows Server 2003 endeavor with Cochlear follows announcement of a major pharmaceutical AppZero migration project last month. Many healthcare companies are undergoing complete remediation of large populations of Windows Server 2003 systems and applications, not just to meet the end of service deadline, but to document their compliance and conduct application validation required in some sectors. Automating the process of Windows Server 2003 upgrades avoids the arduous tasks of reinstalling and reconfiguring upgraded servers and applications. AppZero is uniquely capable of encapsulating and moving just the application, rather than the entire machine with its operating system and other services. This is important for migration speed and agility — the freedom to quickly and precisely provision and deploy even complex, multi-tiered applications to new servers or to clouds.

“With AppZero, we can quickly identify, extract and move enterprise applications, without making changes to the applications, which is so much more secure from a compliance perspective,” said Anil Kalra, Cochlear Project Manager, Infrastructure. “We’re pleased to have AppZero help us get out in front of our Windows Server 2003 migration.”

AppZero automation eliminates the majority of manual labor, time and costs typically involved in migrating complex enterprise applications. For companies modernizing datacenters or adopting the cloud, it is essential to modernize the infrastructure under the application when migrating existing applications. With AppZero’s separation of applications from the OS, IT organizations moving to clouds or modern datacenters are no longer stuck with old operating systems or out of date security, but are free to adopt leading edge operation tools and modernize the operating system at the same time.

According to AppZero CEO Greg O’Connor, “Cochlear is a great example of a leading edge company with a strategic IT organization that is getting out ahead of their technology challenges, and minimizing their risk exposure and transforming their datacenter at the same time.”

The-Vitamin-and-Supplement-Guide.com announced today it has revamped it’s coverage on Vitamin D Deficiency Symptoms. Commonly referred to as the “Sunshine Vitamin”, vitamin D plays a very important role in your health. But with the increased awareness of skin cancer caused by too much exposure to the sun and the fact that where you live will influence whether you’re getting enough vitamin D or not, it was time for complete coverage on vitamin D deficiency symptoms.

“The trouble with Vitamin D deficiency is the symptoms don’t show up until late in life when it may be too late to reverse them,” says Jeff Kimball founder of The-Vitamin-and-Supplement-Guide.com. “Hypovitaminosis D osteopathy, a collection of vitamin D deficiency symptoms, is a condition occurring when there isn’t enough vitamin D to make the hormones that maintain healthy calcium balance. Over time this lack of calcium will take its toll on your body and can cause serious health conditions.”

There are things you can do to offset any deficiency in vitamin D such as eating certain foods high in vitamin D, getting more exposure to sunlight and taking supplements containing vitamin D. “The bottom line is vitamin D deficiency can be a very serious condition and you need to assess if your at risk and what you should do about it,” say Jeff Kimball . “Please take the time to research your vitamin D deficiency situation and correct any deficiency you find, your loved ones will be grateful you did.”
