WANdisco announced 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.
