Why Convert or Upsize?

  • Improved Performance - Light-weight processes (those that require very little computational power) enable Microsoft SQL Server to reach very high degrees of transaction volume and still protect the integrity of the information.

  • Infinite Scalability - Both Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle are robust multi-user database products that enable unlimited users to enter data into the system at the same time without corrupting each others data entries or the table structure as a whole.

  • Increased Availability and Uptime - Both Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle help maximize availability through online backups, fully integrated log shipping, and enhanced failover clustering. Information can be backed up while the database remains online and accessed by users, allowing more frequent backups and decreasing the risk of data loss.

  • Web Access to Data - Both Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle deliver features for accessing information stored in databases through the Web.  These features ensure that data is available through intuitive user interfaces and is fully searchable, even by novice users.
