The guide to how SQL Server 2008 end-of-support can drive IT modernization.
As Microsoft’s end-of-support for SQL Server 2008 approaches, IT organizations face a host of challenges from the maintenance of on-premise data centers in the age of cloud computing; to maintaining the right talent to push the business forward, whatever the changes in technology. C-level officers must deal with all these issues while simultaneously charting the way forward for growth in highly competitive and complex markets.
The new e-book from Rackspace, The Top 6 C-Level IT Challenges, provides strategic direction to solve for each challenge through cloud migration, while offering a way forward beyond SQL Server 2008 end-of-support. The e-book demonstrates how migration to the Azure cloud not only offers a powerful platform for computing, but also protects you from losing access to critical security updates and Microsoft hotfixes. You’ll see what’s involved in the key steps Rackspace recommends to its clients for a successful cloud migration: Plan, Assess, Design, Migrate, Manage, and Optimize. Finally, you’ll get an assessment tool with the critical questions to identify the right partner for a successful migration and beyond.
