SQL Server migration helps organizations move older database environments to supported platforms while reducing security and operating risks. Calance supports migration to Azure, AWS, or GCP, with planning based on workload needs, licensing, compliance requirements, and existing cloud systems.

The process starts with an assessment of the current environment, dependencies, risks, and target platform. Calance then plans migration waves, moves schemas and data, checks application compatibility, and prepares the production cutover. Validation can include row counts, checksums, performance tests, and user acceptance testing before go-live.

SQL Server 2016 reaches extended end of support on July 14, 2026, which makes migration planning more urgent for organizations still using that version. A planned move can also reduce the risks tied to unsupported systems and aging infrastructure.
