IT Reality – Data at the core

Data

Follow Leverage

Enable

• Legacy applications – heavy with “Data Gravity”, will

never be going to the Public Cloud

• Azure Stack (App) and SQL Server (Data) and both

business enablers…and Powerful when modernized

together!

• Enable App owners and App Disposition Optimization

exercises to drive the modernization conversation

• IT Directors, DBA’s, System Administrators need to

create new processes utilizing new tooling and

technologies

• Business processes need to be modernized

regarding production and non-production data

isolation requirements

Modernize NEAR THE DATA!

>50% of the SQL install base is out of support life

✓ SQL 2005 is out of support now and SQL 2008 in 2019

✓ SQL 2008 was the last socket-based licensing model

✓ Microsoft is forcing the migration

Impact: No Support, No Updates, No Fixes, No Security updates

Option 1: Upgrade

Option 2: Move to Azure

• To save money, you could simply move your Windows Server 2008/2008 R2 and SQL 2008/2008 R2 to Azure / Azure Stack by using the Azure Hybrid Use Benefit. 3 years of extended support.

Option 3: Buy extended security updates (This last path has not evolved at all.)

• You will be allowed to run Windows Server 2008/2008 R2 and SQL 2008/2008 R2 for 75% of the current operating system cost, and continue to receive security updates. For this extended support, you must have a Software Assurance or Enterprise Subscription agreement. 3 years of security updates.

Modernization Strategies

Initial Steps

SQL Server LingoUnderstand so you can “talk the talk”

ApplicationCould access 1+ databases

ServerPhysical or virtual

InstanceSQL Server engine (best practice is

one per virtual server)

Database1 to many databases per instance

WorkloadCould access 1+ instances

Modernization OptionsThis is an sample not all are listed (all are IaaS except deploy DBaaS)

Upgrade

SQL Server platform (engine)

Database: backup from one version and restore to newer version (with limitations)

Deploy

Brand new install, including DBaaS

Consolidate

Virtualizing DB instances

Horizontal scaling of Databases grouped by application

Archive

Backup, readily available

Tiering, DevOps database repurposing

Migrate

Storage to storage (app constraints) - instances

SQL Server old to new version (new features, benefits) - database

Modernize on existing infrastructureCloud & Storage share many of the same benefits

• Already in place

• New deploy on existing

• 2008 hosted on older storage

• Block level availability &

replication

• Storage to storage migration (app

constraints) - instances

• SQL Server old to new version

upgrade (new features, benefits) -

database

• All flash performance, faster

backups

• Storage Data Deduplication

(XtremIO, PowerMax, etc.)

Any/all

workloads


So how do I get there?The “who” and “why”…

Start with the basics

DBA

Server &

Storage Admin

Database

Architect

App/Analytics

Owners

Assess their current database landscape

Understand their level of automation

Determine their command of their data

• Which version of SQL are you running?

• How many separate SQL instances do you manage?

• Have you virtualized SQL?

• How many are managed outside your org?

• How are you addressing security gaps?

• Have you enabled self service for BI and/or App Dev teams?

• Are you using Azure public Yes – Are you considering Azure stack

• How long does it take you to move project from dev into production

• Are you using SQL to power your custom applications?

1)

2)

3)• Do you have data science team? Are they using SQL?

• How are you using unstructured data in SQL based analytics?

• How old is your data by the time you analyze it in SQL?

• Are you enabling applications with advanced analytics?
