SQL Server Migration: A Tale of Two AWS Clouds

The cloud as a business tool continues to grow in importance as it adds new options, features, and capacities on an almost daily basis.

Its evolution also mandates that adjunct IT assets evolve along with it, a reality that causes distress since it’s likely that many (if not most) current IT environments can’t keep up with cloud’s promise. Those companies that see cloud as the platform most likely to deliver success for their IT and corporate futures must now consider migrating some or all of their technology to a cloud structure, including their SQL servers.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers these leaders the flexibility and control they need to make that move, knowing that the gains achieved will more than make up for the challenges posed by the process.
