End of Support Deadlines
Running SQL Server 2012 or 2014? Without vendor patches, your compliance and security risk escalates. We help you migrate before the deadline.
Data Center Exit Pressure
Your organization is under a mandate to leave on-premises data centers. Moving complex multi-database apps to Azure SQL MI seems daunting without breaking existing workflows.
Legacy Feature Lock-In
Strict dependencies on local file system storage or third-party SQL Server plugins block simple lift-and-shift. Our phased approach accommodates these without compromise.
Microsoft SQL Server → Azure SQL Managed Instance migration — your questions answered
How long does it take to migrate SQL Server to Azure SQL MI?+
Our typical migration projects run 2-5 months and are staffed by 1-3 senior engineers. Timeline depends on application complexity and dependencies.
Can I migrate while maintaining SQL Agent and cross-database references?+
Yes. Our hybrid migration framework preserves near 100% compatibility, including SQL Agent jobs, cross-db queries, and linked servers. You avoid re-architecting.
What if my SQL Server uses local file system storage or unsupported plugins?+
We handle those edge cases with a phased approach that includes fallback paths. Your legacy features remain functional during the transition to Azure SQL Managed Instance.
Do I need to cut over all databases at once?+
No. We support a phased cutover. You can migrate databases individually while maintaining vendor support on the legacy platform. There's no forced big-bang transition.
