I have had to correct this too many times already. Server is the name of the deployment type of their on-prem. It means single node non-clustered. Data center is their deployment that supports clustering to multiple nodes (and used to support a few extra features). They are retiring the Server deployment type licenses and pushing everyone to data center or cloud. So no, they aren’t EOLing their on-prem.


The cost of server was lower and fixed (buy it once), the cost of datacenter is MUCH higher (minimum 500 users, pay per year).

Which is even more amusing when you realize Server has been Datacenter with a fake mustache for years now.


The datacenter product also seems geared towards people reselling Atlassian stacks. For example there's a company that offers HIPAA compliant Confluence (complete with signing a BAA, so you can actual store PHI on it). It doesn't seem like a great replacement for the server version.


Our instance is half the size of minimal Data center license. For us and for many customers this is effectively EOL.
