Ascolta to Resell WANdisco Fusion

Ascolta, a ViON company focused on advanced analytics, announced a partnership with WANdisco, Inc., in Active Data Replication.

Ascolta will resell the company’s patented technology, WANdisco Fusion, as an embedded replication solution.

With WANdisco Fusion, users of Ascolta’s pre-configured, ready-to-deploy data analytics solution, the Ascolta DataAdapt platform, can access data with guaranteed consistency, no downtime and no business disruption, wherever it may be located.

“Today data and the ability to access it quickly is having a dramatic impact on the success of organizations across public and private sector,” explained Wayne Hall, GM, Ascolta. “Our DataAdapt platform was designed to provide an integrated data analytics solution to simplify the process of deploying big data. The addition of WANdisco gives our customers a new level of performance and 100% availability, thereby making the solution even more flexible to support our customer’s changing needs.“

DataAdapt is a flexible Hadoop platform that reduces the complexity of implementing a big data architecture and accelerates the deployment of data analytics. The DataAdapt platform integrates storage, data infrastructure, analytics and a user interface into a pre-configured solution that is tested and ready to deploy.

“With ViON’s 37-year history of providing mission-critical IT infrastructure solutions, together with Ascolta’s platform and managed services, this partnership brings the benefits of our patented technology to public sector customers who require on-demand, burst-out processing and offsite DR, without wasting budget on idle backup services,” said Peter Scott, SVP, business development, WANdisco. “We are delighted through this partnership to have already secured our first customer in the government sector, a large and highly prized target market for our business, where compliance with federal mandates is a must. This is a further validation of our technology.“

Ascolta will deploy Fusion as part of the DataAdapt platform within a large government agency in USA. The enterprise-grade solution supports the agency’s mission critical cloud and big data applications while ensuring SLAs and regulatory requirements are met when moving data between different storage environments.
