Sheffield-based data firm WANdisco extends its partnership with IBM

LiveData Migrator will allow IBM customers to seamlessly migrate on-premise data to hybrid cloud and multi-cloud infrastructures.

IBM Big Replicate already features Sheffield-based 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.

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.

WANdisco has been collaborating with IBM for four years on various technologies.

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."
