Migration to New SQL Server versions

Migrating to a new SQL Server version is a key step to improve performance, strengthen security, and ensure business continuity. We guide you through the entire process to deliver a safe and seamless migration.

Why migrating matters?

Each new version of PostgreSQL introduces significant advances as:

  • Security and encryption
  • Engine performance
  • Query optimization
  • Memory and storage management
  • Compatibility with modern cloud architectures
  • New features for development and analytics

Remaining on an outdated version can expose your organization to:

  • Security risks
  • End of vendor support
  • Unnecessary licensing costs
  • Performance limitation

Our migration process

We follow a proven methodology designed for mission-critical environments:

1. Compatibility assessment

We review your current version, dependencies, configurations, extensions, storage engines, and potential risks.

2. Migration plan

We create a tailored migration plan covering:

Upgrade method

License validation

Performance testing

Rollback plan  

Maintenance windows

Hardware or cloud requirements

3. Test environment

We build a mirror environment to:

Rehearse the full migration

Validate queries, indexes, functions and procedures

Compare performance before and after

Detect incompatibilities

4. Safe migration

We execute the migration using:

Prior replication or synchronisation

Controlled switchover

Data integrity validation

Real-time monitoring

5. Post-migration support

Over the following days we monitor

System performance

Resource consumption

Errors and operational issues

Fine-tuning of the configuration

Minimal or zero Downtime

Stopping production is rarely an option. That’s why we design migrations aimed at minimal disruption:

Reduced maintenance windows

Replication and synchronisation strategies

Hot migrations

Pre-migration testing in mirror environments

Integrity validation before the final switchover

Licensing: An essential part of every migration

We assess your SQL Server licensing to ensure a technically appropriate and cost-efficient upgrade.

During our assessment, we:

  • Review your current licensing model
  • Assess whether the new version requires licensing changes
  • Identify cost-saving opportunities
  • Validate edition compatibility
  • Assess the impact on virtualized and cloud environments
