WE-Ankor Distributing MapR in Israel

As well as Actifio, CommVault, NetApp, Symantec and VMware

MapR Technologies, Inc. announced that WE-Ankor,  part of the Hilan Group and an IT specialist based in Petach Tikva, has become a registered partner in Israel.

Founded in 1990, WE-Ankor serves over 1,000 clients across the region including large enterprises and high tech companies. It is also the largest NetApp STAR partner in Israel, VMware premier partner, and has developed a reputation for expertise within storage, virtualization, servers, data protection and DR solutions.

As Tal Meiron, director of big data Solutions at WE-Ankor explained, the firm has in the past engaged in other projects utilising other distributions of Hadoop but ran into issues around complexity and lack of enterprise features.

With the launch of our first dedicated big data team within WE-Ankor, we have chosen to standardise on MapR because of the value it brings in terms of simplicity, ease of administration and ability to seamlessly utilise common NFS based capabilities such as snapshots and mirrors.

Meiron believes that by using the MapR Distribution for Hadoop its clients can reduce the need to expend additional resources retaining staff or recruiting specialist developers to bridge the gap between Hadoop and commonly understood storage technologies.

MapR provides the enterprise ready features we need from day one of a project and we have started to work with a number of clients within the defence and telecommunications industries,” he added.

WE-Ankor is a great partner for us based on its extensive experience in the data management business and strong expertise in storage and networking infrastructure solutions that are important and complementary to big data requirements,” said Xavier Guerin, VP Southern Europe and Benelux, MapR. “WE-Ankor also has a strong customer base in Israel that it has helped to provide best of breed technology solutions for many years and a proven track record for delivering high value projects.
