5 Critical Considerations When Moving Your Database to the Cloud

Migrating an existing on-premises SQL Server application to the cloud can be a daunting task that consists of many complicated steps. In this webinar, we will focus on what is perhaps the MOST important step of the process – those that lead up to the actual move to the cloud.

We will dive deep into the most critical considerations for moving your data and databases into the cloud, whether you use Microsoft Azure, Amazon, or another cloud provider.

We will cover:

• Forecasting how much migration will cost
• The importance of cleansing your data before a major migration
• Fully documenting your data sources and metadata
• Choosing from many different tools and techniques to actually move data
• How to test data for fidelity
• How to maintain parallel systems during transitional phases
