With Windows 10 nearing its end-of-life date on October 14, 2025, organizations face a critical need to upgrade to Windows 11. Feature additions and bug fixes for Windows 10 will no longer be available, and the cessation of free security updates will leave systems increasingly vulnerable. To tackle these challenges, Nutanix and IGEL offer an efficient, secure, and scalable end-to-end solution to streamline the transition process.This upcoming Windows 10 EOS is triggering a key decision for IT leaders – buy a new rich endpoint client for each of your people who currently have a non-Windows 11 compliant devices, or invest in back-end infrastructure to deploy virtual desktops to future-proof your Windows deployments.The Risks of Staying on Windows 10Choosing not to upgrade to Windows 11 can result in significant problems:Heightened Security Risks: Systems without regular updates become prime targets for cyberattacks.

This blog was authored by Anish Jain, Senior Technical Manager, Sujaikumar Jayarao, Director Product Management Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery, NutanixThe primary motivation behind deploying clustering solutions like Windows Server Failover Cluster (WSFC) or Linux Pacemaker is to ensure uninterrupted business operations for mission-critical applications and services. In highly regulated sectors like finance, banking, health care, etc., this need is further reinforced by evolving compliance frameworks such as the Digital Operations Resilience Act (DORA). Administrators tasked to achieve this outcome understand the complexity of providing high availability across rooms, campuses, or data centers all the while maintaining zero data loss and balancing simplicity with cost efficiency. A typical strategy involves deploying a dedicated storage subsystem mirrored (“stretched”) across different geographical regions via Fibre Channel or IP networks. However, this approach can be quite
