GEC NEWS WIREVision Solutions’s New Product Leverages Double-Take Technology to Provide Near-Zero Downtime during SQL
Vision Solutions has unveiled its newest migration software offering, Double-Take SQLMove. Vision Solutions designed the product, which uses the company’s Double-Take replication technology, to help customers migrate effortlessly from Microsoft SQL Server 2005 to a supported version. Microsoft will end extended support for SQL Server 2005 on April 12, 2016. After that date, Microsoft will no longer provide security updates to companies running SQL Server 2005.
“We’ve seen significant market changes since Microsoft introduced SQL Server 2005, and this upgrade provides the opportunity to consolidate systems and migrate onto virtual, cloud or hybrid cloud environments.” said Doug Piper, vice president of product strategy at Vision Solutions.
Vision Solutions’ Double-Take SQLMove eliminates risk with real-time replication technology that enables nearzero downtime, allowing systems to remain productive during the migration process. The software provides an alternative over other solutions that may be time consuming, manually executed and error-prone.
““Being able to leverage our own product, Double-Take SQLMove, to perform our migration from SQL Server 2005 demonstrates our commitment to solutions that work – our team is able to migrate swiftly onto SQL Server 2014 without disrupting our operations, all while providing feedback to make the final Double-Take SQLMove product ready for market.” said Suchita Nagale, vice president of information technology at Vision Solutions.
