Atlassian Server EOL (End-Of-Life)
With the End-Of-Life for Server solutions approaching, Atlassian customers are encouraged to migrate their data/systems to the Atlassian Cloud. But for some organizations, migration to the cloud is not a suitable option (or is a long way off and requires adequate planning).
Organizations that fall under this category and require an on-premise option can instead look to Data Center as a viable long-term solution for enterprise-level functionality and support.
Avoiding the Big–Bang
Over the years, tools like Jira and Confluence from Atlassian have progressed considerably. Transferring data between these tools typically revolves around their full-backup and restore methods, which may lead businesses to believe that Big–bang data migrations (where all data is moved at once) are the norm, causing potential high-risk implications.
The good news is that there are more Agile ways and low-risk alternatives that help deliver greater business value and benefits.
