This document discusses migrating from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2014. It notes that support for SQL Server 2005 ends in April 2016, which increases security and compliance risks. It highlights key features introduced in subsequent SQL Server versions from 2008 to 2014 like AlwaysOn availability groups. The document argues that migrating to SQL Server 2014 provides benefits like improved performance, high availability, and new capabilities. It also discusses how Dell services can help organizations upgrade and leverage hybrid cloud options.

1. Running SQL 2005?
It’s time to migrate to SQL 2014!

2. Migrating from Microsoft SQL Server 2005 to Microsoft SQL Server 2014
Our conversation today
• A brief walk down history lane
• Now is the time to migrate
• How Dell can help you

3. 2005 was a good
year…

4. Phones looked like this…

5. YouTube had just been launched…

6. This was screening at the movies…

7. What were you doing 10 years ago?

8. Now is the time

9. Now is the
time to
modernize
End of Support for
SQL Server 2005
is April 12, 2016

10. What does end of support mean?
Nosecurityupdates
There will be no access to critical security updates which
increases the potential for business interruptions
Highermaintenancecosts
Maintaining legacy servers, firewalls, intrusion systems, etc. gets
expensive quickly
Compliancerisks
As support ends, your organization will likely fail
to meet regulatory compliance

11. • No more security updates
and hotfixes from Microsoft
• One vulnerable server is
gateway to entire network
• “Whitelisting,” virtualization,
etc. don’t ensure security
• WS2003 servers will no
longer pass compliance /
regulatory audits
• PCI, SOX, HIPAA non-
compliance carries large
fines and business risks
• Reduce costs through server
consolidation
• Improved performance,
availability & disaster
recovery
• New scenarios like VDI /
BYOD
• Standards-based
management across
compute, storage &
networking
• Automate to eliminate
manual tasks
• Higher security &
maintenance costs increases
TCO
• Opportunity cost of not
adopting latest technology
• Easy installation &
deployment
• OEM support – warranties &
security updates
Act NOW – The risks are
real. Help is available from
Microsoft & Dell.
Upgradeto WindowsServer
2012 R2 for significant
benefits
No security upgrades Compliance risks Higher TCO
Virtualization Simplified management
Pre-installed for
simplicity / support
>50% of SQL Server 2005 instances are running on
Windows Server 2003

12. A 10 year feature gap includes a lot
of features (and benefits)

13. 5 long years after
SQL Server 2000,
SQL Server 2005
gave us DMVs,
CLR, hot-add
memory, ranking
functions, XML
datatype, Database
Mirroring and a
new SSMS

14. SQL Server 2008 added hot add CPU, Governor, Xevents, spatial indexes
and compression

15. SQL Server 2012 added Always On Availability Groups and
columnstore indexes

16. See more at http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/server-cloud/products/sql-server/Comparison.aspx
* SQL Server Standard includes basic AlwaysOn High Availability. Basic includes 2 node Failover Clustering.

21. Resource Governor
Performance and Scalability
SQL Server 2008R2 introduced CPU Governor
• Allowed DBAs to place a cap on use of CPU resource
by any one user
SQL Server 2014 introduces I/O Governor
• Allows DBAs to place a cap on use of I/O bandwidth
consumed by any one user

22. In Memory OLTP (Hekaton)
Performance and Scalability
Excellent performance gains can be achieved for some
application patterns
• High (or spiky) data ingest rates
• Focused read/write contention
• Hard requirement for low latency
Up to 20x performance improvement in these scenarios
with In-memory OLTP

23. Column Store Indexes allows faster analytics workloads
Performance and Scalability
Data is stored in pages of rows of columns (traditional row store)
EmployeeID FirstName LastName Gender Salary

25. Buffer Pool Extension
Performance and Scalability
Do you have:
• Older hardware with RAM slots
full?
• Dense virtualized deployments
with limited RAM allocations?
Buffer Pool Extension may be for you.

28. Double the number of secondary nodes
Always On Availability Groups
SQL Server 2012 SQL Server 2014
Secondary Nodes 4 8
Allows you to spread read load across more nodes for better performance.

29. Secondaries are readable when the primary is not available
Always On Availability Groups
Primary S1 S2 S3
Allows some level of service – your
application can still read even if it
cannot write

30. Always On Secondaries can be in an Azure VM
Azure Cloud
Primary S1 S2 S3
Allows you to leverage Azure Data Centers
as secondary DR sites
