SQL Server 2008
End of Support Workshop

 

SQL Server 2008:
A personal on-site workshop at your office. 

Microsoft Partner Logo x3 GoldOn 12th of July 2018 Microsoft SQL Server 2008 went out of extended support , and on the 9th of July 2019, SQL Server 2008 R2 support will end. The end of these support and security updates from Microsoft means that systems are vulnerable to outside threats and aren’t compliant with industry regulations such as GDPR.

What are your options?

These are the options available to keep your infrastructure secure:

  • Upgrade to the latest SQL Server version – this will ensure you can gain access to the latest features of SQL server and continue to receive regular security updates
  • Purchase Extended Security Updates at 75% of the full license cost of the latest version of SQL Server, and continue to receive workload protection
  • Consolidate and migrate and SQL servers over to Azure – Microsoft will continue to protect SQL Server 2008 and 2008 R2 IaaS servers running in Azure at no additional cost until July 2022. We can help consolidate any existing SQL instances before migrating to the cloud to maximise your performance and ROI.
  • Migrate and upgrade SQL workloads to Azure SQL Databases (database as-a-Service) or SQL Managed Instances – there is the opportunity to migrate and upgrade on-premises workloads to a managed solution in Azure
