SQL Server Migration Services

Let Zones' experts help you migrate your Microsoft SQL Server database to the Azure cloud – quickly, securely and with little to no downtime

Our Azure Migration Services for SQL Server will simplify what can be a surprisingly complex and frustrating process.

Moving large amounts of enterprise data to the cloud becomes an onerous challenge if your business uses outdated technologies that make you vulnerable to data breaches, or older versions of SQL Server and Windows Server that Microsoft no longer supports. Add to that the significant costs and inefficiencies of running an on-premises data center and it's easy to see why so many organizations are looking for a simpler solution.
