SQL Server · Migration and Upgrade
What is this service?
SQL Server migration and upgrade projects involve much more than moving databases between servers. There is an impact on compatibility, performance, licensing, HA/DR, jobs, integrations, downtime windows and application behavior after the change.
Power Tuning conducts assessment, architecture design, compatibility validations, cutover tests, rollback and post-go-live monitoring. The objective is to take change out of the betting field and into a controlled process.
How we operate
How Power Tuning conducts this work
We work with diagnosis, execution plan, assisted implementation and result validation.
Migration strategy
We define technical path, downtime, validation, contingency and rollback.
Testing and validation
We run preliminary tests to reduce surprises at the cutover.
Assisted go-live
We follow the turnaround and stabilize the environment after going into production.
What is it for
When this service makes sense
The service gains value when the environment is no longer predictable, scalable or secure for the business.
Outdated version
When the environment needs to leave old versions due to risk, support or technical limitations.
Cloud migration
When the company wants to move SQL Server to Azure, AWS or new infrastructure.
Consolidation or change of edition
When the current design no longer covers cost, capacity or license.
Change with high business risk
When the window is short and the impact of failure is too high to improvise.
Expected results
What changes in practice
Our focus is to generate operational gains and reduce risk with indicators that the client can monitor.
Safer turn
The project has a roadmap, checkpoints and a planned return if something goes as expected.
Validated compatibility
The application and the bank are evaluated before the change, not just after.
Controlled downtime
Windows are treated based on trial and process, not vague expectation.
New platform prepared
The final environment comes with better standards of operation, security and monitoring.
