SQL Server 2008 EOL

As of July 2019, SQL Server 2008 has reached its End of Life (EoL) and is no longer covered by Extended Support. This means no more security updates, increased maintenance costs, and businesses running the risk of becoming non-compliant.

In response to the pressing requirement faced by many companies to adapt their estate to remain secure, DSP have created the SQL Server 2008 Bitesize programme. This quick-win package of services is designed to kickstart your modernisation plans, guaranteeing you best practice support when you most need it. 

Typical options for those organisations still running SQL Server 2008 are:

  • Migrate SQL Server 2008 to Azure with a simple 'Lift n Shift'
  • Modernise their platform with SQL Managed Instance,
  • Upgrade to SQL Server 2017 on-premise. Migrate later.

 

Assess. Deploy. Optimise.

Through this methodology and our SQL Server 2008 EOL services we'll review your current SQL database estate, deploy a POC to help you establish value, and follow through to deliver a modernisation plan for the rest of your estate.

Don't risk the health, performance, or security of your estate. Get in touch today and we'll discuss how our approach has already helped many organisations like yours respond to SQL Server 2008 EOL.
