Microsoft lifecycle

SQL Server 2014 extended support ended 9 July 2024.

That date is from the Microsoft Lifecycle policy. After extended support, regular security updates stop unless you buy Extended Security Updates — a bridge, not a plan.

We upgrade Microsoft SQL Server in an isolated replica, with a signed column map and tests, then we can run production go-live or your team can run the tested runbook.

• Stay on a supported SQL Server release (2022 or 2025), on-prem, Azure SQL, or on an Azure, AWS, or Google VM
• Land a workload onto SQL Server from PostgreSQL, MySQL, or another instance
• Or move a SQL Server workload to Amazon RDS, Google Cloud SQL, or another engine you named
