    Hi!
    @ present we have a reporting server which is for internal and external users..they run regular reports.
    - we keep the data in this server for 1 year
    - want to avoid the load onto this server,
    - server is in 2008 r2 environment

    Needs:
    - I want o keep the data longer than 1 year 
    - i can configure another SQL server with 2016
    - I can dedicate this for reporting purposes

    _ Please advise How this is possible, Guidance is highly appreciated,

    Regards,

    Bubby

    Do we really face performance issues when we keep data longer than one year ? Was this your understanding OR Was this exactly a requirement ? because there have been many servers built outside with a more than a year / archived old records running without much performance issues....
