\u200b<\/span>Cloud specialist\u00a0WANdisco has partnered with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to launch a rapid self-service data migration tool, in a deal that’s seen as a major win for the UK cloud industry.<\/p>\n

The ‘LiveData Migrator’ lets companies move any size of on-premises data to AWS within minutes and without the need of engineers or specialists.<\/p>\n

WANdisco<\/a>, a\u00a0publicly listed company with dual headquarters in Sheffield and California that specialises in distributed computing, is already an ‘Advanced Technology Partner’ in the AWS<\/a> network and its LiveData Migrator services has also achieved AWS Migration Competency status \u2013\u00a0which requires\u00a0a proven level of technical proficiency and customer success.<\/p>\n

It is one of four AWS partners to collaborate on migration requirements for use cases\u00a0including Hadoop<\/a>, storage and database data migration, and mainframe data integration<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One of the first to use the LiveData Migrator is website hosting platform GoDaddy, which shifted 500 terabytes of Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) data to Amazon S3.<\/p>\n

“We found that WANdisco’s LiveData Migrator delivered the best time to value solution in the use case of a Hadoop to Amazon S3 data migration and replication,” said GoDaddy chief data and analytics officer Wayne Peacock.<\/p>\n

“Rather than running an internal time-consuming and costly manual migration project, using LiveData Migrator has helped us avoid disruption to our production processes and made 70 TB of data immediately available for Amazon S3 testing.”<\/p>\n

Migrating large data volumes with traditional approaches requires disrupting the operation of on-premises applications, but the LiveData Migrator works without any production system downtime or business disruption, according to WANdisco.<\/p>\n

“Enterprises that want to move their data to the cloud but are concerned about the risks of doing so now have a powerful solution that’s self-service and extremely easy to use,” said WANdicso CEO David Richards.<\/p>\n

“Regardless of company size or technical expertise, LiveData Migrator enables businesses to migrate their data risk-free to the cloud on a massive scale without any disruption to business operations. Data can be accommodated without any risk of data loss while modernising data and applications to stay competitive.” <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
