👉 Estates computing, also known as estate computing or legacy computing, refers to the process of managing, maintaining, and utilizing computing resources and systems left behind by organizations that have ceased operations or are undergoing significant changes. This includes handling outdated hardware, software, and data storage systems that may no longer be supported by vendors or are no longer compatible with current technologies. Estates computing involves tasks such as data migration, system integration, security updates, and ensuring compliance with regulations while preserving valuable business information and intellectual property. The goal is to repurpose or securely dispose of these resources in a way that maximizes their utility and minimizes risks, often requiring specialized expertise to navigate the complexities of obsolete technologies and data formats.
