SQL Server 2008 End of Life

Now that SQL Server 2008 is EOL there will be no further security patches and in all likelihood, it will soon fall out of most compliance regulations. Reduced maintenance capabilities are bound to hit performance. If you are looking at a SQL Server 2008 Migration plan then it pays to consider the options - and considering a migration to Azure could be the optimal solution for your business.
