Revolutionizing OS Migration: RiverMeadow Adds Support for Windows Server 2025

At RiverMeadow, we’re thrilled to announce a major update to our platform with the introduction of support for the newly released Windows Server 2025, encompassing both lift-and-optimize and OS modernization strategies. This enhancement aligns with the launch with Microsoft’s latest server technology, which recently hit the market. Our quick incorporation of support for Windows Server 2025 underscores our commitment to staying at the forefront of technology and providing our clients with cutting-edge migration solutions.

The release of Windows Server 2025 brings with it substantial changes and enhancements, especially from a kernel version perspective, marking it as Microsoft’s most substantial update in years. Moving away from the trends of application lifecycle management and planned obsolescence, Window’s Server 2025 introduces groundbreaking features that significantly enhance application compatibility and performance.

Comprehensive Migration and Modernization

Understanding the complexities this introduces, RiverMeadow is prepared for a range of use cases:

• Lift-and-Optimize: Migrate source machines running Windows Server 2025 from on-premise to cloud or between clouds as required. RiverMeadow supports not only the straight migration of Windows Server 2025 but allows for optimization as part of migration including the ability to rightsize compute and/or storage partitioning as well as apply new security configurations such as OS hardening. This allows customers to do more than just lift and shift as part of the migration process.
• OS Modernization: Leverage the power of migration to eliminate technical debt. RiverMeadow supports modernization of Windows Server starting with version 2008 R2 through to 2025 as part of the migration process. RiverMeadow creates target clones as part of migration, modernizes the target clone to whichever version of Windows Server is required. Source machines are not impacted during this process, making this risk-free for customers to quickly and safely modernize their Windows Server estates. In addition to Windows Server 2016, 2019, and 2022, RiverMeadow now supports modernizing onto the latest versions of Windows Server 2025.
