Atlassian Server Support Ends

A significant change is on the horizon for users of Atlassian's Server products. Atlassian, a leading provider of team collaboration and productivity software, has announced the end of support for its Server product line on the 15th of February. This decision marks a pivotal shift towards Cloud and Data Center offerings, aiming to better serve the future needs of businesses and teams around the globe.

Act now — unsupported software puts your org at risk

Atlassian's Server products have long been a cornerstone for teams seeking flexible, on-premises solutions for project management, software development, and content collaboration. Products such as Jira Software, Confluence, Bitbucket, and others have offered customisable environments tailored to specific organisational needs. However, with the increasing demand for scalable, secure, and efficient solutions, Atlassian is steering its focus towards Cloud and Data Center offerings.

Time to start migrating

The most critical milestone is the end of support for Server products. This means no further updates, security fixes, or official support from Atlassian for any Server products post-15th of Feb!

Not to worry, Atlassian has been clear about its commitment to supporting customers through this transition. The company advocates for Cloud/Data Center as the future, offering several benefits over traditional Server installations, including:

• Scalability: Cloud solutions can easily scale to meet the growing needs of businesses without the need for physical hardware upgrades. 
• Maintenance and Updates: With Cloud, Atlassian handles all maintenance and updates, ensuring that you always have access to the latest features and security patches.
• Remote Work Friendly: The Cloud platform is inherently more suited to today's remote and distributed work environments, offering teams the flexibility to collaborate from anywhere.
• For larger teams or those with specific needs that Cloud cannot meet, Atlassian's Data Center products provide a self-managed solution

The end of Atlassian Server support is a clear indicator of the shifting priorities in the software industry towards more agile, scalable, and collaborative solutions. While change can be challenging, it also presents an opportunity for organisations to reassess their tools and processes, ultimately enabling them to emerge more resilient and adaptable.
