From Data Center to Cloud

The agony of choice? Not anymore in the future.

Atlassian's "Cloud Only" Strategy

On March 28, 2029, Atlassian will stop supporting the "Data Center" license variant. Current Data Center instances will then automatically become read-only.

Try Atlassian Cloud for free!

Operating Atlassian systems on-premises will only be possible until March 28, 2029. By that date, you must have either migrated your Atlassian software suite to the Atlassian cloud or introduced alternatives. We will, of course, be happy to support you with consulting and implementation in either case.

Atlassian offers a wide range of cloud licenses that are tailored to different requirements. The table below provides an overview of the different cloud variants and their key features, using Jira and Confluence as examples.

Which Cloud License is Right for You?

Cloud versions of Jira and Confluence are ideal for small and medium-sized businesses, as well as corporations requiring up to 10,000 licenses. If you purchase licenses monthly, you can scale up to the maximum and reduce them again on a monthly basis. This is ideal for businesses with volatile models and start-ups. You can adjust the security level according to your needs by choosing a license model (from Standard to Enterprise).

Those who choose the Enterprise Edition can also decide where to locate the servers and data — i.e., in the US or the EU. This is a crucial point, especially in light of the GDPR. Jira and Confluence's EU servers are located in Dublin and Frankfurt am Main.
