Scheduled Maintenance on our Windows hosting server

As part of improving the performance of our servers, We need to upgrade SQL Servers from 2016 to 2022 to stay supported, secure, and compliant, gain major performance improvements, leverage cloud and modern features, and ensure long-term application compatibility.

Upgrading from Windows Server 2016 to 2025 is required to ensure continued support and security updates, improved performance and stability, and compatibility with modern applications and SQL Server 2022. The newer OS provides enhanced security features, better resource management, and improved integration with cloud and hybrid environments, reducing operational and compliance risks associated with running an unsupported OS.
