WANdisco Announces Global Agreement with Infosys

WANdisco (WAND.L), the LiveData company, today announces its global agreement with Infosys, a global leader in next-generation digital services and consulting. Together, WANdisco and Infosys will help enterprises successfully migrate their data lakes to major public clouds including Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud.

The agreement will enable organisations to de-risk and accelerate data lake migration to the cloud. 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). Whilst Infosys will leverage LiveData Migrator to help enterprises transition on-premise data lakes to the cloud and ensure continued business performance.

Infosys' Data Wizard solution augments WANdisco's LiveData Migrator offering by providing rich graphical user interface-driven migration life cycle management. This solution facilitates quick and easy movement of petabytes of data to the cloud. This allows enterprises to tap into the power of artificial intelligence and machine learning; enabling businesses to better analyze data which will ultimately generate faster and deeper business insights at a lower cost compared to on-premises.

WANdisco along with Infosys's Data Cloud Practice will help clients fast track their efforts around proof of concepts, pilots and other mechanisms designed to deliver value quickly and securely.

Satish H.C., Executive Vice President, Data & Analytics, Infosys, said:

"Enterprises that have historically invested in on-premise 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 CEO and Chairman David Richards, commented:

"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. And 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."
