SQL Server 2008 Migration

Many organisations are now considering the best route to migrate from their SQL Server 2008 platform, due to Microsoft's announcement about End of Life. Once SQL Server 2008 is EOL there will be no security patches and in all likelihood it will fall out of most compliance regulations. Reduced maintenance capabilities are bound to hit performance. If you are looking at a SQL Server 2008 Migration plan then it pays to consider the options.
