Migrate off of Microsoft SQL Server Today without Surprises
As you know, Microsoft ended support for SQL Server 2005 in April. Organisations still running SQL Server 2005 will no longer receive security updates; this could potentially lead to performance issues. Given the modern threat landscape and tight IT budgets, the time to move off of SQL Server 2005 was yesterday.
So what’s the hold up? Traditionally, migrating comes with it’s own problems such as downtime, data integrity issues, failed migration attempts, IT staff being diverted from mission critical projects, and a whole host of other unwanted situations. For IT, failed migrations and the associated downtime conjure up images of angry mobs lining the street demanding the DBA Walk of Atonement.
