WANdisco and Microsoft presented jointly developed Azure
embedded solution at Ignite conference
SAN RAMON, California,
Nov. 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --
WANdisco (LSE: WAND) ("WANdisco" or the "Company"), the live
data company for machine learning and AI, co-presented with
Microsoft at the vendor's customer and partner event, Ignite,
illustrating how WANdisco is deeply embedding Fusion into the
Microsoft Azure platform.
This jointly developed product with an enterprise cloud partner
was first referenced in an announcement dated 15 July. Together
with Microsoft, WANdisco is to extend its capabilities from being
listed on the Azure marketplace to creating a solution where the
customer experience would be seamless and equivalent to that of a
native Microsoft application.
Once deeply embedded in Microsoft's Azure cloud, the jointly
developed solution will:
- Act as a native Azure offering, providing the fastest and
easiest way to establish data connectivity from on-premises to
cloud storage.
- Provide seamless customer experience and appear like an Azure
first party service.
- Deliver tight integration, reducing deployment complexities
through eliminating the customer need to plan data deployment or
accommodate networking and storage options.
- With this embedded solution, application developers will for
the first time be able to rely upon guaranteed data availability at
scale and across any data location. This enables the acceleration
of distributed application development without fear of data loss or
data consistency issues. As such, data availability becomes part of
the fabric of application development in the cloud.
The partnership is expected to become revenue generating in full
year 2020.
David Richards, Chief
Executive Officer and Chairman of WANdisco, commented:
"When first announced in July, I called this co-development
deal 'one of the most important and exciting developments in our
journey to date' – this remains true today.
Close cooperation with Microsoft has been pivotal to bring
these advanced capabilities to customers as quickly as possible.
This partnership will embed WANdisco Fusion into native Azure for
the first time, forming part of the infrastructure of the Azure
cloud.
WANdisco and Microsoft are delivering data replication with a
policy driven approach, with the ability to manage cloud
infrastructure as easily as if it was code, signalling a new era of
'data availability as a service'."
