WANdisco signs a global deal with digital services giant
WANDISCO, THE LiveData company, has signed a global agreement with Infosys, a leader in next- generation digital services and consulting.
Sheffield- based WANdisco said the two firms will help enterprises migrate their data lakes to major public clouds including Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud.
It said the new agreement will enable organisations to derisk and accelerate data lake migration to the cloud.
The firm added that WANdisco’s LiveData Migrator, the first new native Microsoft Azure service, will ensure the seamless migration of data lakes to ADLS ( Azure Data Lake Storage) and take advantage of cloud economics and machine learning- powered cloud analytics with services like Azure Databricks.
Infosys will leverage LiveData Migrator to help enterprises transition on- premise data lakes to the cloud and ensure continued business performance.
WAN disco’ s chief executive and chairman David Richards said: “The business remains focused on deepening and strengthening our partner relationships and we are delighted to have signed this global agreement with Infosys.
“Data lake migration is a complex problem to solve, particularly when business downtime is not an option.
“This deal shows that only our patented technology has a proven capability to ensure zero downtime and zero risk. Our partnership with Infosys will expand our market reach as we leverage its vast experience and cloud capabilities, whilst helping customers accelerate their journey to the cloud.”
Satish HC, executive vice president, data and analytics at Infosys, said: “Enterprises that have historically invested in onpremise data lakes have run into challenges with manual or batch migration of business critical data to the cloud.
“With Infosys Cobalt, our clients are embracing hybrid cloud solutions to accelerate their digital transformation journeys, and our partnership with WANdisco will help them automate the migration of data volumes at scale while ensuring continued business performance.”
WANdisco recently signed an initial deal worth up to $ 1m (£ 807,000) with a major British supermarket, thought to be UK market leader Tesco.
WANdisco said its technology will be used by the grocery chain on site for data consistency and then subsequently for migration to the Azure cloud.
