WANdisco Accelerates IBM's shift to Hybrid Cloud
· WANdisco LiveData Migrator to be integrated into IBM's Big Replicate
· LiveData Migrator will allow IBM customers to easily migrate on-premise data to hybrid cloud and multi-cloud infrastructures
WANdisco (WAND.L), the LiveData company, announces that its existing relationship with IBM has been extended to integrate WANdisco's LiveData Migrator , into IBM's Big Replicate solution. LiveData Migrator will allow IBM customers to seamlessly migrate on-premise data to hybrid cloud and multi-cloud infrastructures.
IBM Big Replicate already features WANdisco's patented LiveData Plane technology, which enables data consistency within distributed environments to help clients keep unstructured data accessible, accurate and consistent across multiple Hadoop distributions.
IBM recently announced that it was updating its cloud portfolio with new capabilities to focus on its hybrid cloud business, and is providing its customers with the option to migrate from Cloudera legacy systems. Cloudera Distribution Hadoop (CDH) and Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP) will be retired in the coming year without Cloudera providing a defined migration path.
Big Replicate customers can use WANdisco's LiveData Migrator to quickly and easily migrate to the Cloudera Data Platform and other next-generation cloud or cloud-based data management platforms, such as IBM Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services or Google Cloud Platform. Through enabling a multi-cloud solution, WANdisco's technology avoids vendor lock-in following cloud migration.
With the integration of LiveData Migrator, Big Replicate users can now start migrating petabyte-scale data within minutes without the need of engineers or other consultants.
WANdisco has been collaborating with IBM for four years on various technologies and is pleased that IBM Big Replicate customers will now have the complete freedom to choose where their data lives within their enterprises IT infrastructure.
David Richards, CEO and Co-founder of WANdisco said:
"We have been working successfully with IBM for four years and it is exciting to see our partnership evolve to encompass LiveData Migrator, our latest product, and provide IBM customers with the ability to start moving data at petabyte-scale to the cloud in minutes. With legacy Hadoop platforms being retired over the next 12 months, there is an immediate need for enterprises to consider their choices for their next-generation analytics platforms."
Holly Vatter, Senior Global Solutions, Product Marketing Manager, IBM commented in her blog that:
"Keeping data consistent in a distributed environment whether on-premise, hybrid or multi-cloud, across platforms or regions is a challenge that IBM Big Replicate LiveData Migrator was built to handle. Powered by a high-performance coordination engine, it uses consensus to keep unstructured data accessible, accurate and consistent regardless of the environment."
