SAN RAMON, California, June
1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- WANdisco (LSE: WAND)
("WANdisco" or the "Company"), the LiveData company for machine
learning and AI, announces the availability of WANdisco LiveData
Platform for Azure in limited public preview, a new Azure service
offering available exclusively on Microsoft Azure. This launch
marks a landmark occasion in WANdisco's vendor partnership
strategy, with the Company being the first independent software
vendor to be integrated as a service within Microsoft Azure.
Customers are able to leverage this new Azure service with the
same seamless experience as any other native Azure service. The
LiveData Platform services are fully integrated in the Azure
Customer Portal, including the billing experience.
WANdisco management in conjunction with Microsoft are targeting
an addressable market of 200-300 exabytes of data on-premise, and
over the next 12 months expect to sign over 50 new customers on the
Azure platform.
The WANdisco LiveData Platform features the Company's patented
consensus engine which ensures data consistency, accuracy, and
accessibility across all environments - on-premise, hybrid
(on-premise and cloud), hybrid cloud, multi-region or multi-cloud.
Enterprises looking to migrate their on-premise data lake into the
cloud can use WANdisco LiveData Platform on Azure for a turnkey
data migration solution with zero business downtime.
WANdisco is also pleased to announce two initial services
available exclusively on the WANdisco LiveData Platform that work
in conjunction to address five further data migration scenarios at
petabyte scale that would otherwise be insurmountable. The two
products work to establish an active-active data plane between
locations, enabling data consistency between an enterprise's Big
Data Hadoop environment located on-premise and in Azure Data Lake
Storage:
- LiveData Migrator for Azure - performs single scan
migration of data
- LiveData Plane for Azure - ensures any data changes
are immediately captured and reflected
Further details on LiveData Migrator and LiveData Plane will be
made available in a following press release.
Leading up to Public Preview and in collaboration with
Microsoft, WANdisco worked with Infosys Ltd and a select
number of customers in Private Preview that successfully
deployed the LiveData Platform and utilised the LiveData Migrator
for Azure application. This initial success has led to excitement
and momentum in the Microsoft Azure ecosystem.
Satish HC, Executive Vice President, Data & Analytics,
Infosys Ltd, commented:
"WANdisco technology provides a unique platform to migrate
"live" data at scale into and within Azure without business
disruption. We have proven its capabilities in a multi-petabyte
scale customer environment. The native integration with Azure
simplifies deployment and makes LiveData Migrator for Azure the
primary choice in live data migration scenarios. We look forward to
working closely with WANdisco in the future to capitalise on the
migration opportunity."
Tad Brockway, Corporate Vice
President for Microsoft Azure Storage, Media and Edge,
commented:
"Customers have a significant opportunity to optimize costs
and expand analytics and insights capabilities by moving their
on-premise data lakes to the cloud. WANDisco LiveData Migrator and
LiveData Plane are the first offerings to provide a fully
integrated and turnkey experience for customers migrating Hadoop
data into Azure Data Lake Storage seamlessly and without business
disruption."
WANdisco CEO and Chairman David
Richards, commented:
"We are excited to be the first ISV launching a new service
in Microsoft Azure. The LiveData Platform service along with
LiveData Migrator for Azure and LiveData Plane for Azure offerings
are the culmination of joint engineering work between WANdisco and
Microsoft, with the objective of creating a new native Azure
service built around data movement and data consistency.
"These are just the first with plans to continue
building more turnkey solutions. Customers are already seeing the
benefits and we are excited to unlock this over $1B market opportunity we have with Microsoft. We
are also excited to play a key role in the ADLS Data Lake Migration
Program."
