Hi All,
Assuming my database server is 24*7 database, what would be the best strategy to migrate my database server to new server with new hardware with minimal downtime?
Thanks in advance.

Use mirroring. Not the SQL 2005 but the idea is the same eg:

Database mirroring is also a good option but there is a limit on how many databases you can mirror. I would recommend using log shipping to do the migration if your servers are hosting large number of databases. I have used Log shipping to migrate hundreds of databases from one location to another.
