Exchange Server 2013 Reaches End of Support Next Month
Introduction
Exchange Server 2013 is a powerful messaging solution that has been used by thousands of businesses and organizations since its release in 2013. Unfortunately, Microsoft will be ending support for this version of Exchange Server on October 13, 2020. The end of support means that Microsoft will no longer be providing security updates, bug fixes, or technical support.

What Does End of Support Mean?
End of support means that Microsoft will no longer be providing security updates, bug fixes, or technical support for Exchange Server 2013. While you can continue to use the software, it is likely that it will become vulnerable to cyberattacks and other vulnerabilities. Additionally, any new features or updates released by Microsoft will not be available for Exchange Server 2013.

What Are the Alternatives?
Fortunately, Microsoft has released several alternative messaging solutions that can be used to replace Exchange Server 2013. The most popular options are Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019, and Microsoft 365. All of these solutions offer enhanced features, improved security, and better performance.

How Can I Transition to a New Solution?
Migrating to a new messaging solution can be a daunting task. Fortunately, Microsoft provides a range of resources and services to help you make the transition. These include the Exchange Migration Center, which provides step-by-step instructions for migrating to a new solution, as well as the Microsoft Partner Network, which connects you with experienced consultants who can help you make the transition.

Conclusion
Exchange Server 2013 will reach end of support on October 13, 2020. This means that Microsoft will no longer be providing security updates, bug fixes, or technical support for the software. Fortunately, there are several alternative messaging solutions available, such as Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019, and Microsoft 365. Microsoft also provides resources and services to help you make the transition to a new solution.
