Case Study: SBI Liquidity Market achieves stable, high-availability FX trading system migration with Microsoft SQL Server 2016 and Premier Support

SQL Server 2005 database updated in one move to SQL Server 2016, Premier Support used for a safe and sure migration

SBI Liquidity Market, a provider of FX trading environments, faced the challenge of migrating its critical internal "Profit Manager" system from the soon-to-be-unsupported Microsoft SQL Server 2005. The company needed a safe and sure migration path to a new platform that would also enhance system stability and performance without disrupting its essential services.

Microsoft, through its Premier Support service, provided a comprehensive solution that included participation in the SQL Server 2016 Test Adoption Program (TAP) and the RAP as a Service stress testing. This ensured a verified and stable migration. The results included automated query optimization via the Query Store feature, minimized service disruption during failover using AlwaysOn availability groups, and a significantly reduced operational load for administrators. Microsoft's solution provided the stability and expert support required for the company's mission-critical financial systems.
