LONDON (ShareCast) - (ShareCast News) - Live data company WANdisco announced on Monday that it has secured a sales agreement with Bytes Technology Group UK to co-sell and resell WANdisco's patented 'Fusion' platform as its standard cloud migration solution to UK customers.
The AIM-traded firm described Bytes as a "leading provider" of software licensing & cloud services and a subsidiary of the $2.75bn Altron Group.

It said Bytes is Microsoft's largest partner in the UK and a Cloud Licensing Solutions EMEA Partner, with a market share of 35% for Microsoft Azure in the UK.

Bytes was also an Oracle Cloud Partner, and had a "strong relationship" with Amazon Web Services.

With WANdisco Fusion already fully integrated with Microsoft Azure Data Box, Microsoft Azure HDInsight and AWS Snowball, the WANdisco board said the synergies of the sales partnership with Bytes were "clear".

"We are very excited about our new partnership with Bytes - they hold strong relationships with our existing partners and the contract significantly expands our sales channel opportunities," said WANdisco CEO and co-founder David Richards.

"It is also another proof point of the critical role our live data platform, WANdisco Fusion, plays in the cloud and on-premise ecosystem."

Neil Murphy, UK group managing director at Bytes, explained that when considering sales partners for its cloud solutions portfolio, WANdisco was the "clear choice".

"With this announcement, we are able to bring the benefits of WANdisco's unique live data platform to our customers who need to migrate data to the cloud, and run hybrid environments while ensuring their data is always available, accurate and protected," Murphy said.
