SQL SERVER 2008 END OF LIFE
What is End of Life?
From Tuesday 9th July 2019, Microsoft will no longer be supporting SQL Server 2008. This means there’ll be no new technical support or security updates and patches released.
Any infrastructures and applications running the system after support has ended will be unprotected and could be at high risk of cyber security threats, making businesses vulnerable to malicious attacks, malware, viruses and data theft.
Running non-supported systems could also put your business at risk of non-compliance with regulations.
Time for change
Instead of seeing end of life as a negative, it should be viewed as an opportunity to embrace the latest technology and upgrade to new, better systems for your business.
With SQL Server 2008 End of Life quickly approaching – and with Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 retirement happening in 2020 – there’s no time like the present to upgrade your systems.
