Your Guide to Atlassian’s Data Center End of Life: Stable Today, Stronger Tomorrow

At-a-Glance: Data Center End of Life

Atlassian has announced the Data Center End of Life for March 28, 2029, marking a major shift toward cloud-first, AI-enabled teamwork. For organizations in highly regulated industries, this transition underscores the need for secure, compliant, and strategic planning.

Oxalis is already ahead of the curve—helping customers design migration roadmaps, re-platform critical systems, and adopt future-ready solutions like Atlassian Government Cloud, Isolated Cloud, and Enterprise Cloud. Our mission remains clear: to keep your operations secure, compliant, and mission-ready as the Atlassian ecosystem evolves.

Yesterday, Atlassian announced that their Data Center products will reach end of life on March 28, 2029. While any change of this scale can feel significant, I want to take a moment to share what this means for our customers, and how Oxalis is already preparing to make sure your teams remain secure, compliant, and mission-ready.

What This Change Means

Atlassian’s decision reflects a broader industry trend: the move to cloud as the most scalable, secure, and future-proof environment for enterprise technology. Atlassian has invested heavily in its Cloud platform to meet the needs of complex, highly regulated organizations. This includes advanced compliance certifications, improved performance, and deployment options designed specifically for the public sector, defense contractors, and other regulated industries.

For customers currently running Atlassian Data Center, nothing changes today. Your systems remain stable and supported, and you have ample time to plan for what’s next.
