If you've been following developments at Microsoft during the tenure of CEO Satya Nadella, it is likely you have heard him say "Microsoft Loves Open Source!"

The end of support for SQL Server 2008 and 2008 R2 is coming up fast. If you don’t have time to upgrade before July 9, 2019, don’t worry. You can keep your systems secure by migrating your workloads to Microsoft Azure.

Microsoft’s cloud-based platform Azure has helped many businesses expand while reducing costs associated with hosting and storing data and applications in the cloud. SNP Technologies leverages AI-based cognitive services to add intelligence, automation and search capabilities to your applications.

Containers make it easier for users to continuously build and deploy applications.

On July 9, 2019, Microsoft will end the extended support for SQL Server 2008 and 2008 R2, which means no more updates or support of any kind, potentially leaving your infrastructure and applications vulnerable to security and compliance issues. 

At SNP, we are here to help you migrate to current versions for greater security, performance, and innovation by:

Data migration is the process of making an exact copy of an organization’s current data from one device to another device—preferably without disrupting or disabling active applications—and then redirecting all input/output (I/O) activity to the new device.

Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) helps you manage user identities and create intelligence-driven access policies to secure your resources. As an integral component of Office 365, Azure and Enterprise Mobility + Security, Azure AD centralizes identity and access management to enable deep security, productivity, and management across devices, data, apps, and infrastructure.

Many organizations are moving to the cloud to increase flexibility for employees and reduce overall IT costs, keeping security as paramount for critical data.

Azure Site Recovery, an underlying technology of Operations Management Suite, helps protect the critical applications running in your datacenter with flexible recovery plans and low RPOs (recovery point objectives)/RTOs (recovery time objectives).
