Replacing a 4 year old Windows 2012 server (not R2)

-

we have server looking after 45-50 people

windows 2012 not r2
exchange 2013
rds server

exchange ~350gb
live data ~800gb
archived data ~500gb

we have older server windows 2008 used backup tape (well hdd + tape)

over next few months need replace existing server new server , / or cloud

about dozen people connect via vpn when working off-site

i've been tasked cloud hosted solution - if makes sense

i know exchange straight forward !

what about?

word / excel / powerpoint
accounts / payroll 
cad drawings

stick in-house server this? 

cloud / hybrid cloud seems current way of thinking more more confusion

anyone been through ?

any advice / pointers appreciated


hello,

i see several things consider:

1. migration office 365:

-exchange, sharepoint, skype business colaboration.

-higher plans offer full office 2016 proplus.

-office online.

2. active directory synchronization: can leave on-prem ad azure ad sync or move azure ad.

3. can purchase new server host rds other applications. may possible move azure (remote app or virtual machine rds) depending on needs , requirements hard guess needs without knowing details. consider on-premises server this.

to sum up, migration of messaging/communication system looks best candidate migration. rds server's migration may tricky , may better leave on-prem. many depends on rds server's usage, load, number of applications services etc. in case can leave local ad , configure directory synchronization. additionally, not recommended co-locate exchange , rds on same physical box.
