When Microsoft ends support and security updates for SQL Server 2008 + 2008 R2 on July 9, 2019, businesses using those systems will need to have migrated their operations to new software. How IT organizations decide to move beyond their current SQL Server will have major implications both for the migration itself, and going forward. In the next few months, IT organizations will have to identify, develop, and execute a migration plan for their business that uses resources effectively and efficiently.

The e-book includes a unique four-step process to ensure a low-risk, high-availability move to an optimal successor system. IT teams will also come away with a reliable and repeatable methodology for future upgrades that includes planning, technology implementation, and validation and training.
