As Microsoft operating systems are regularly developed, extended and updated
with service packs and security patches, it it essential that you upgrade your
Exaquantum software to remain current with these upgrades, thus ensuring that
the whole system remains "state of the art".
Microsoft Windows Server release cycles are such that you would probably have
to upgrade to a new operating system during a five year period. The Exaquantum
AMC provides for the latest releases of Exaquantum, which will run on all current
Microsoft Windows operating systems. The AMC provides the most cost effective
way of ensuring that your Exaquantum system is maintained in line with new releases
of operating systems. In the event that an Exaquantum AMC is not purchased and
the time comes when you are forced to upgrade your operating system, you will
need to purchase a new Exaquantum license. Based on the five year forced upgrade
cycles of the operating system, purchase of an AMC delivers a two year cost
advantage over purchase of a new Exaquantum license. More importantly, the AMC
delivers all the benefits of help-desk support and product enhancements throughout
this five year period.
