LiveData migrator launch with Amazon Web Services
Early customer, GoDaddy, using LiveData migrator to transfer 500
TB of data
Businesses can now quickly and efficiently migrate mission
critical data at any scale to AWS, within minutes, with zero
business disruption and 100% data consistency
WANdisco (WAND.L), the LiveData company, announces the launch of
LiveData Migrator, an automated, self-service solution in
partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS). LiveData Migrator
enables cloud data migration at any scale by allowing companies of
all sizes to easily start migrating Hadoop data from on-premises to
AWS within minutes, without the expertise of engineers or other
consultants, and even whilst source data sets are under active
use.
GoDaddy is an early customer and will utilize LiveData Migrator
to migrate 500 TB of HDFS data to Amazon Simple Storage Service
(Amazon S3). The Company will operate in a hybrid cloud mode and
continue to update Amazon S3 data as changes are made to Hadoop
content in the source, so it is immediately available for cloud
analytics. The first 70 TB of data was migrated within days with
zero on-premise system downtime.
WANdisco has now achieved AWS Migration Competency status with
the release of LiveData Migrator and is an Advanced Technology
Partner in the AWS Partner Network (APN). WANdisco was one of four
APN Partners who collaborated with AWS to define the requirements
to cover different use cases, including Hadoop, storage and
database data migration, and mainframe data integration.
Migrating large data volumes with traditional approaches, such
as transfer devices or distributed copy, requires disrupting the
operation of on-premises applications and doesn't cater to data
that is modified or created during migration. However, LiveData
Migrator works without any production system downtime or business
disruption while ensuring the migration is complete and continuous
and that any ongoing data changes are replicated to the target
cloud environment.
GoDaddy Chief Data and Analytics Officer Wayne Peacock,
said:
"GoDaddy often builds applications in-house to best support our
growth. However, we found that WANdisco's LiveData Migrator
delivered the best time to value solution in the use case of a
Hadoop to Amazon S3 data migration and replication. Rather than
running an internal time-consuming and costly manual migration
project, using LiveData Migrator has helped us avoid disruption to
our production processes and made 70 TB of data immediately
available for Amazon S3 testing.
Sabina Joseph, Director of Americas ISVs, Amazon Web Services,
Inc, commented:
"We are delighted to have APN Partners like WANdisco that
exhibit extensive knowledge and proven expertise in migration and
replication technology. Customers will benefit from optimizing
costs and expanding analytics and insights capabilities leveraging
industry leading services like Amazon S3, Amazon EMR and Amazon
Athena."
WANdisco CEO and Chairman David Richards, commented:
"Enterprises that want to move their data to the cloud but are
concerned about the risks of doing so now have a powerful solution
that's self-service and extremely easy to use. Regardless of
company size or technical expertise, LiveData Migrator enables
businesses to migrate their data risk-free to the cloud on a
massive scale without any disruption to business operations. Data
can be accommodated without any risk of data loss while modernizing
data and applications to stay competitive."
Notes to editors:
-- LiveData Migrator gives enterprises the opportunity
to free their systems from the capital constraints
of acquiring storage hardware by leveraging Amazon
S3 and associated services.
-- Reconciliation at scale is costly and cannot guarantee
a completely consistent data outcome. The overhead
required to achieve non-disruptive, no-downtime big
data migration is significant due to repeated scans,
systems out of sync and manual intervention for anticipated
failures and interruptions.
-- LiveData Migrator delivers fast time to value for
migrating unstructured data into cloud storage to
then take advantage of machine-learning powered cloud
analytics such as Amazon EMR, Databricks or Snowflake
to gain valuable business insights.
-- LiveData Migrator also enables the transition to
a hybrid architecture, where on-premises and cloud
environments are kept consistent for active-active
replication capabilities, and sets the foundation
for a future multi-cloud architecture.
-- Through 2022, more than 50% of data migration initiatives
will exceed their budget and timeline - and potentially
harm the business - because of flawed strategy and
execution," according to Gartner in a recent report.(1)
This is despite the fact that nearly 70% of enterprises
have started moving data to the cloud as part of
their digital transformation. (2)
