General Availability of LiveData Platform for Azure
Significant step achieved in converting pipeline customers,
providing assurance for business-critical data operations
WANdisco (LSE: WAND), the LiveData company , announces the
General Availability of the LiveData Platform for Azure. This is a
significant achievement for the Group and a critical step in
converting WANdisco's new business pipeline. General Availability
provides customers with greater assurance when embarking on
Petabyte scale data migration projects, providing the confidence
that this business-critical operation can be completed without
disruption or downtime.
General Availability marks the completion of a multi-year joint
project with Microsoft to integrate WANdisco's technology into the
cloud fabric, the most important initiative in WANdisco's journey
to date. General Availability is accompanied by a continued joint
go-to-market strategy for WANdisco and Microsoft Azure.
LiveData Migrator for Azure allows customers to automate the
migration of their on-premises data lake to the cloud without
business risk or operational downtime, accelerating time-to-value
from months or years to a matter of days. The solution is offered
natively within Azure, including the same pay-as-you-go (PAYGO)
consumption model, with charges appearing on the same Azure bill
that customers already receive.
Strategic Azure Consulting and system integrators like Avanade,
Infosys, Insight, Neudesic and Wipro have all developed offerings
leveraging LiveData Migrator for Azure which will be bolstered by
General Availability.
David Richards, CEO and Co-founder of WANdisco said:
"This is a historic moment for WANdisco that places our
technology as the key to unlock the Azure ecosystem for global
blue-chips. A key learning from H1 was that our customers see
General Availability with Microsoft as a critical step in launching
their cloud migration journey with WANdisco and the impact of
achieving this step cannot be understated. Customers now have the
assurance they need that WANdisco can migrate their business to the
Azure cloud without disruption or downtime.
"We are determined to close the cloud value gap and the only way
to deliver that is through offering a truly cloud-centric
consumption solution, native within Azure and charged pay-as-you-go
on the same Azure bill customers already receive. As more
enterprises look to derive value from massive, distributed
datasets, we see a tremendous opportunity to help them realize the
full potential of the cloud."
Jurgen Willis, VP of Product Management, Microsoft Azure Storage
said:
"With LiveData Platform for Azure integrated with ADLS Gen2,
customers have an opportunity to leverage a purpose-built solution
for optimizing their migration costs and accelerating their
timelines onto the Azure data platform. With today's General
Availability announcement, it's even easier for Azure customers to
leverage our analytics offerings to expand their insights
capabilities and get immediate value from their Hadoop to Azure
migration."
Azure customer, Cristian Camilo Garcia Serna, Data Architect,
Tuya, SA said:
"With WANdisco's LiveData Platform for Azure, we were able to
quickly begin migrating our business-critical data, significantly
accelerating our time-to-value in the cloud. The efficiency enabled
by WANdisco is unmatched. It's a dramatic step up from manual
migration alternatives, which are both time-consuming and
costly."
Dael Williamson, Global CTO, Data Platform at Avanade, said:
"The clear winners are Azure customers, who can now manage
Hadoop data migrations with unprecedented speed. With WANdisco's
data-first approach, customers can convert selected datasets into
business outcomes and maintain absolute confidence that their data
is exactly the same everywhere, at any given time. With LiveData
Platform for Azure, customers can now easily invest in the next-gen
capabilities that are native in the public cloud."
