Complex SQL Server estate migrated to a new data centre

Company restructuring required a data centre move

A parcel delivery company needed to move multiple Microsoft SQL Server instances to a different data centre as part of a wider company restructuring programme.

The estate included Merge Replication and Database Mirroring, so the migration needed to account for dependencies across a complex and business-critical environment.

The migration plan protected round-the-clock operations

The SQL Server estate supports services that need to remain available 24 hours a day. Pro DBA created a detailed migration process that the client could review, approve and follow during the live move.

Because the client required a fast turnaround, Pro DBA assembled a team of three senior SQL Server consultants to plan, manage and execute the migration.

The estate was moved quickly and safely

Pro DBA completed the data centre migration and managed the full process internally. The structured plan helped the team move the complex estate safely while meeting the client’s required timetable.

Pro DBA continues to provide 24/7 support for the SQL Server estate in its new location.
