LONDON (ShareCast) - (ShareCast News) - Distributed computing company WANdisco has achieved 'co-sell' status with tech giant Microsoft after meeting its rigorous criteria.
As a result, WANdisco can now take its Fusion live data platform, which provides continuous replication of selected data at a scale between multiple big data and cloud environments, to market as a packaged offering with Microsoft Azure.

WANdisco achieved the co-sell status through Microsoft's commercial partner programme and has already finalised integration of its Fusion product with Microsoft Azure Databox and Azure HD Insights, allowing customers to seamlessly move data between on-premise and cloud.

David Richards, chief executive of WANdisco, said, "This is another exciting development in our relationship with Microsoft and significantly expands our sales channel opportunities. Our new co-sell status is another validation of our go-to-market strategy and helps to ensure the most effective route to market for our technology."

"We are seeing significant demand from customers who want to expand their on-premise data lake into Microsoft Azure," said John Chirapurath, general manager of data platform marketing at Microsoft added.

"WANdisco Fusion enables continuous data replication for Microsoft Azure and HDInsight customers who also want to maintain on-premise consistency at scale," Chirapurath concluded.
