Obsolete Operating Systems

Managed Servers does not support obsolete operating system versions past their vendor end-of-support (EoS) dates. Managed servers with operating system versions that are past their EoS date will be shut down and decommissioned. A final backup will be retained for 30 days. See our Managed Servers Operating System Lifecycle Policy for more information.
