GridApp Announces "Microsoft and Oracle are Ready to Upgrade - Are You?" Webinar
Complimentary Webinar Demonstrates Seamless Upgrades to SQL Server 2005
NEW YORK - February 4, 2008 -- GridApp Systems, Inc. (www.gridapp.com), the leading provider of database automation software and solutions, today announced that it will host a complimentary Webinar on Wednesday, February 13 from 1:00 - 2:00 p.m. ET (10:00 - 11:00 a.m. PT) entitled, "Microsoft and Oracle are Ready to Upgrade - Are You?"
Join Matthew Zito, chief scientist of GridApp Systems, as he discusses how SQL Server and Oracle database upgrades can be performed quickly and easily, allowing your IT organizations to reap the benefits of newer database versions.
Software version upgrades are necessary to ensure that new software roll-outs, patching, and other tasks are completed efficiently and securely across the infrastructure. The problems of version desupport and security violations further amplify the need to upgrade - which can be complex, costly, and stressful, with databases being no exception. Even the simplest upgrades can raise the following questions:
- How much time will it take to perform the upgrade?
- Will I upgrade all the databases I need to upgrade?
- How can I be assured consistency across the enterprise?
- Is my new build secured?
- Will independent software vendors (ISVs) certify my critical applications on the updated version?
- Will my custom applications still run reliably?
Those attending the Webinar will gain insight around these concerns and see a live demo upgrade of SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005.
