I have a client that runs a vendor developed SQL database called Vendmax. This is just a mom and pop shop with 5 users. The cost is about to explode to over $5k a year which is cost prohibitive so we are considering bringing the system in house.
We need SQL Server 2016. The database is about 300 gig at this time and will continue to grow slowly.. The database does not support SQL 2017.
I am looking at the bottom line cheapest way to make this happen, easy to support and low maintenance.
