Partnership with Cloudera

WANdisco agrees second strategic Big Data channel partnership

Cloudera Certifies WANdisco's Non-Stop Hadoop Technology to Run on Cloudera's Hadoop Distribution (CDH)

London, UK - WANdisco (LSE: WAND), the provider of continuous availability software for global enterprises to meet the challenges of Big Data, is pleased to announce that it has entered into a new, strategic Big Data channel partnership with Cloudera.  

Cloudera is a leader in enterprise analytic data management powered by Apache™ Hadoop®, with over 700 hardware, software and services partners and has certified WANdisco's Non-Stop Hadoop technology to run on its Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop version 4 (CDH4), providing 100% uptime for global multi-data centre deployments. 

Today's partnership is the second strategic Big Data channel partnership WANdisco has agreed since the launch of its first Big Data product in February of this year. This adds a significant route to market for WANdisco's Big Data products, aligned to an established and leading provider of Big Data solutions to the Enterprise. 

WANdisco's Big Data products are designed to address the critical enterprise requirements for continuous availability, performance and scalability as large global organizations move from using Hadoop for batch storage and retrieval to mission critical high volume real-time applications, where the cost of even one minute of downtime is unacceptable.

Commenting on the partnership, David Richards, WANdisco Executive Chairman and CEO, said:

"We are delighted to announce our partnership with Cloudera today. Enterprises are adopting Hadoop as a core element of their IT infrastructure and our go-to-market strategy is to build out our channel partnerships with leaders in Hadoop, such as Cloudera. This is another endorsement of our strategy to become the de-facto continuous availability layer in the Hadoop deployment stack. We are the only vendor that can deliver continuous data availability that is a 'must-have' for strategic deployments."

Tim Stevens, vice president, Business and Corporate Development, Cloudera added:

"CDH is the core of Cloudera's enterprise platform.  CDH together with WANdisco's Non-Stop Hadoop technology enables us to deliver our full suite of real-time data analytics and data management applications with continuous availability for those customers who require it."
