LiveData Migrator for Azure
LiveData Migrator for Azure is a core Azure service that enables users to migrate petabyte-scale Hadoop clusters to the Azure cloud with zero application downtime and zero risk of data loss even while the source data is under active change.
Native Integration with Azure Resources
As part of the LiveData Cloud Services for Azure offering, LiveData Migrator for Azure is deeply integrated with native Azure resources such as Azure Portal, CLI, Role Based Access Control, Active Directory, Azure Policy enforcement and Activity log integration. This tight integration provides customers with a turnkey user experience similar to other native Azure services. Further integration with Azure Billing means customers are billed directly through Azure, so there is no need to add a new vendor contract or require additional vendor approvals.
“Customers have a significant opportunity to optimize costs and expand analytics and insights capabilities by moving their on-premise data lakes to the cloud. WANdisco LiveData Migrator and LiveData Plane are the first offerings to provide a fully integrated and turnkey experience for customers migrating Hadoop data into Azure Data Lake Storage seamlessly and without business disruption.”Tad Brockway, Corporate Vice President for Azure Network and Storage
Use Cases
Adopt Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2
ADLS is the only cloud storage service that is purpose-built for big data analytics. It is designed to integrate with a broad range of analytics frameworks enabling a true enterprise Data Lake, maximized performance via true filesystem semantics, and scalability to meet the needs of the most demanding analytics workloads.
Cloud Migration without Downtime
Non-disruptive automated migration reduces the risks involved with large data migration initiatives and allows your users and systems to continue operating while migration is underway.
Cloud Analytics
Bring on-premises Hive workloads to Azure HDInsight, which provides a managed, full-spectrum, open-source analytics service in the Azure cloud.
Key features
Core Service within Microsoft Azure
Deep integration with Azure resources enables LiveData Migrator to be deployed at the same time as other native Azure services and with an equivalent user experience.
Support for Native Azure Security and Manageability
Leveraging Azure features such as Role Based Access Control, Active Directory, Azure Policy enforcement and Activity Log integration.
Billing Integration
Customers are billed through Azure, eliminating the need for them to add a new vendor contract or require additional vendor approvals.
Hadoop Support
Provides support for migration from all major Hadoop distributions to Azure cloud.
Petabyte Scale
Migrates big data sets at any scale to Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 without needing to halt changes to the source data sets during migration.
Selective Migration
Administrators have full control over what is migrated from source to target.
Complete and Continuous Data Migration
Migrates existing data sets with a single pass through the source storage system, eliminating the overhead of repeated scans.
Immediate Availability
Enables data to become available for use in Azure as soon as it has been migrated, without having to wait for all data set migrations to complete.
Interfaces and API
Migrations can be managed through a comprehensive and intuitive command-line interface, or from the self-documenting REST API, allowing users to track and monitor migration progress.
