WANdisco launches latest 'MultiCloud' platform

WANdisco, a LiveData company, has announced the general availability of LiveData for MultiCloud, a new addition to the WANdisco Fusion distributed computing platform for enterprises.

Powered by a patented blockchain technology called DConE, LiveData for MultiCloud aims to solve the growing challenge of keeping data available and consistent across multiple cloud environments in different geographies.

Multi-cloud architecture planning is fast becoming a strategic IT priority with the multi-cloud management market expected to grow to $4.4bn by 2022.

WANdisco’s CEO and co-founder, David Richards, said: “Enterprises are no longer working with just one cloud provider due to the rapid pace of innovation in areas like AI, blockchain, and IoT applications.

“CTOs and CIOs want to move their organizations to multi-cloud architectures to protect themselves from over-reliance on a single cloud vendor and to avoid lock-in.

“A multi-cloud strategy avoids this, and also enables companies to take advantage of each cloud’s unique or best-performing capabilities.

“LiveData for MultiCloud gives enterprise the choice of selecting specific clouds for specific jobs to maximize business performance.”

As data sources become increasingly distributed across on-premise and multi-cloud environments, there’s a growing demand for new technologies to replace manual operations and legacy data protection tools which are prone to a variety of risks.

LiveData for MultiCloud provides enterprise architects access to a powerful distributed platform to enable multi-cloud operations, including large scale data migrations without disruption.
