End of Life for Atlassian Data Center
Atlassian has announced that the Data Center product line will be discontinued. The first changes will take effect as early as March 30, 2026. If your company uses Atlassian Data Center, this means it’s time to start planning your migration to the cloud.
What's happening?
Atlassian has been investing heavily in the subscription-based Atlassian Cloud product line for many years. Significant progress has been made, and Atlassian sees the cloud as the “natural future.” The existing on-premise product line, Atlassian Data Center, will be discontinued in 2029. By then, customers must have completed their migration to the cloud. Therefore, we strongly advise you to begin planning your migration to the cloud. Seibert can help you with the migration process, including the assessment, planning, and implementation of the transition.
