SAN RAMON, Calif.,,
March 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- WANdisco (LSE: WAND), the LiveData company, announced
today a partnership with Snowflake, the Data Cloud company, to
automate, accelerate and simplify the migration of on-premises
Hadoop analytics workloads to Snowflake's data platform.
WANdisco's LiveData Migrator, the recommended Hadoop to cloud
migration platform by Microsoft and Amazon Web Services,
effortlessly migrates unstructured data of any scale to the cloud
using a single scan, rather than costly and risky attempts to
migrate data that can cause operational disruption and delay
digital transformation. LiveData Migrator provides non-blocking and
continuous data migration while enabling a hybrid cloud
architecture for migrating production applications.
"WANdisco's LiveData Migrator has proven its capabilities to
seamlessly move data lakes to the cloud with several Fortune 500
companies. Snowflake is seeing increased demand from enterprises
seeking to migrate Hadoop workloads to Snowflake's Data Cloud. Our
partnership with Snowflake will give enterprises peace of mind with
accelerated Hadoop data migrations to Snowflake's platform that are
fast and effortless," said WANdisco CEO and co-founder David Richards. "With this partnership,
enterprises have a powerful option to move their organization to
the cloud and take advantage of increased productivity, security
and insightful data analytics available to employees anywhere at
any time."
There is an increasing demand from large enterprises seeking to
digitally transform and take advantage of modern data and AI
services in the cloud. Bringing WANdisco LiveData Migrator's
capabilities of migrating large scale Hadoop analytical workloads
with its ultra-fast non-blocking scan and replicating live data
changes together with Snowflake's platform enables enterprises to
seamlessly and efficiently adopt a new analytics platform in the
cloud.
"Snowflake's Data Cloud is helping customers mobilize their data
to unlock more business value than they would otherwise with
on-premise Hadoop clusters," said Tarik Dwiek, Director of
Technology Alliances, Snowflake. "Our partnership with
WANdisco and its LiveData Migrator platform will enable our
customers to reduce migration costs and accelerate time to value by
automating the data migration process, while minimizing risk of
business disruption during the migration."
WANdisco is changing the future of migration with the 2020
launch of LiveData Migrator. The company's automated, self-service
solution democratizes cloud data migration at any scale, by
enabling companies to migrate Hadoop data from on-premises to
Snowflake on a supported public cloud within
minutes, even while the source data sets are under active use. With
LiveData Migrator, businesses can migrate HDFS data without the
expertise of engineers or other consultants. The platform enables
enterprises to operate without any production system downtime or
business disruption while ensuring the migration is complete and
continuous, and any ongoing data changes are replicated to the
target cloud environment. "It's as close to a silver bullet as you
can find for this type of project," according to Gartner analyst
Merv Adrian in an interview
with TechTarget.
