U.S. Department of Defense Migrates From Oracle to SQL Server 2008 for Greater Reliability and Security, While Lowering Costs

The legacy Oracle database system was outdated, unwieldy, and no longer operational for the organization. The IT department also needed greater security capabilities for their mission-critical applications with the new database system. The U.S. Department of Defense decided to migrate their legacy systems, operating on an Oracle database, to a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 platform.
