As I’m sure you will have already seen, Atlassian has announced the retirement of its Server deployment option, shifting its focus to Data Center and Cloud. Still being actively developed, Atlassian Data Center is able to provide the same functionality we’ve all come to know and love in our Server products, but instead it’s built for enterprises through its extended features and capabilities. These similarities make Data Center an optimal solution for organisations who are not yet ready to make the leap to the Atlassian Cloud. Atlassian will continue offering its robust self-managed enterprise edition, Atlassian Data Center, and strengthening the product by making some of its most powerful Apps available natively and offering support for them.
If you initially purchased or were quoted for a new server license before the 3rd of October 2019, then you are currently on an advantaged price plan lower than Atlassian list prices. As such, there will be a price increase to bring these prices in line as of February 2021.
If you purchased on or after the 3rd of October 2019, you will not see any price changes for these products at this time.
