SAN RAMON, California,
October 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
WANdisco, a world leader in Active Data
Replication® today announced that its patented technology, WANdisco
Fusion®, is fully integrated with Microsoft Azure Data Box. With
WANdisco Fusion®, Microsoft customers can use Azure Data Box to
transfer information from Big Data applications to Microsoft Azure
without the downtime and cost usually involved in bulk data
transfer over the network. Other benefits of WANdisco Fusion® for
Azure Data Box include:
- Efficiency: WANdisco Fusion® enables Microsoft customers
to take advantage of the storage on Azure Data Box for bulk data
transfer without the delays of data transfer over the network. With
this solution, users can continue to write to their local
cluster while Azure Data Box is in transit and subsequently being
uploaded, and replicate those changes to the Azure Cloud with
guaranteed consistency once the upload is complete.
- No downtime and no business disruption: Users can
write data to a local HDFS-compatible endpoint on-premises and
replicate to a storage location in Microsoft Azure with no
modification or disruption to applications operating in Hadoop
clusters on-premises.
- Selective replication: An administrator can select
subsets of content for replication, with fine-grained control over
where data resides.

David Richards, Co-Founder and
CEO of WANdisco said:
"The integration of WANdisco Fusion® with Azure Data
Box means Microsoft customers can take full advantage of the lower
cost of storage and range of services available in Azure whilst
still being able to replicate any changes on-premises -
something no other solution can provide."
Dean Paron, General Manager for
Azure Data Box at Microsoft said:
"By using WANdisco Fusion for Microsoft Azure Data
Box, customers can burst their big data processing needs to the
Azure Cloud while maintaining on-premises
consistency."
