Microsoft officially no longer supports the 2008 and 2008 R2 versions of SQL Server since July 2019. DIGICORP performs the complete Upgrade and Migration process from its SQL Server Database to Microsoft Azure, ensuring support Microsoft extended to these versions of the technology until 2022 at no additional cost.
Before migrating your Microsoft SQL Server Database, we gather diagnostic information, especially if your applications are large and complex. Diagnostic information is important to verify the behavior of the Database server after migration and also if further support is required.
After collecting the necessary information and making the diagnosis with the collected data, we created backups of your Microsoft SQL Server Databases according to the characteristics and complexity of your systems, in order to allow the subsequent import of the data and a rollback and restoration process in the event of a problem during Migration.
The migration of your Microsoft SQL Server Database will use the test and production hardware of the new machines or environments, so the operating system installed on these computers must be compatible with the version of SQL Server that will be migrated, and there must also be enough space for the data to be saved successfully.
After the proper preparation of the operating systems and hardware on the new machines or environments, the installation of the selected version of the Microsoft SQL Server Database will be carried out. To save space, only the necessary components of the installation will be selected, according to the characteristics of your application.
Based on the architecture and structure of your existing SQL Server Databases, we created the new Databases required for the proper functioning of your application, using the settings referring to the installed software version and the hardware and operating systems of the machine that will support the new instance.
The necessary configuration for your Microsoft SQL Server Database will be defined, creating all the necessary configuration files, in order to ensure that the desired data structure and relationship is consistent. We’ve also added new parameters to the settings if any changes to the architecture are needed to ensure compatibility with the new machine and operating systems.
Based on the existing databases' schemas and relationships, we apply the appropriate configurations to the new SQL Server databases created to define the structure of the data and dependencies between the information, making changes if necessary to ensure compatibility with the new version installed.
A monitored process of importing and transferring the data already existing in your Microsoft SQL Server Database will be initiated, in order to make them available in the instance of the new version and ensure the consistency of the information.
After all the previous steps have been performed, the installed version of your Microsoft SQL Server Database will be initialized and a series of consistency, integrity and performance tests will be carried out, in order to verify whether the migration process was successful and if the running instance is working as expected.
Continuous monitoring of the new Microsoft SQL Server Database will be carried out after the Migration, in order to detect any anomalies, performance problems and inconsistencies in the data. If there are errors, the SQL Server Migration Statistics will be collected and the necessary corrections will be applied to guarantee the success of the Migration process.
