Migrate SQL Server to Google Cloud SQL with Confidence
Yes, migrating Microsoft SQL Server to Google Cloud SQL for SQL Server is a well-understood project. Our senior engineers handle bridge-networking for live replication, fixed scope, 2-3 months.
The lowest-cost way off Microsoft SQL Server: our migration tooling automates the repetitive work —you pay senior engineers for judgment, not keystrokes.

- ✓Leverage Google's advanced network and security
- ✓Preserve active directory and monitoring integrations
Corporate standard moving to GCP
Your organization is standardizing on Google Cloud, but moving SQL Server feels risky and complex.
On-prem datacenter leases expiring
You need to vacate your data center soon, but a big-bang cutover to Cloud SQL seems too aggressive.
Deep integrations with local Active Directory
Your SQL Server is tied to on-prem AD and third-party monitoring tools that require OS access — blocking a simple lift-and-shift.
Microsoft SQL Server → Google Cloud SQL for SQL Server migration — your questions answered
How long does a SQL Server to Google Cloud SQL migration take?+
Typical projects run 2-3 months with 1-2 senior consultants. We use a fixed-scope model so you know the timeline upfront.
Can you migrate while keeping my Active Directory integration?+
Yes. We set up custom bridge-networking to maintain live replication between your on-prem SQL Server and Google Cloud SQL, preserving directory and monitoring connections.
What happens to my third-party monitoring tools during the move?+
Our bridge-networking keeps OS-level access alive for your tools during migration. Post-move, we help transition to GCP-native or compatible solutions.
What does a Microsoft SQL Server to GCP Cloud SQL migration cost?+
Budgets typically range from $40,000 to $180,000 depending on database size and complexity. Our fixed-scope quote covers the entire project with no hidden fees.
