Chinese deal for WANdisco

DATA software group WANdisco announced today it has signed an OEM agreement with China-based advertising technology company Miaozhen Systems.

The company, which has its head office in Sheffield and a major base in Silicon Valley, California, specialises in high-availability software for Big Data and distributed software development which allow its clients to store and share huge amounts of data.

Under the deal, Miaozhen will include WANdisco’s patented Non-Stop NameNode technology as part of its core Hadoop infrastructure and offering.

Miaozhen will use WANdisco’s patented technology in its customers’ data centres to provide 100 % uptime for their Hadoop clusters, ensuring continuous data availability for accurate advertising analytics.

With customers such as P&G, Microsoft, Volkswagen, L’Oreal, Coca-Cola, and YUM!, Miaozhen Systems is the leading third-party advertising technology company in China.

It will use Non-Stop NameNode to support its online advertising platform, providing clients with continuous availability of advertising campaign performance data in order to enhance returns.

Zhu Wei, chief executive of Miaozhen Systems, said: “Downtime is unacceptable for us. We thoroughly investigated the market and WANdisco is the only option for Hadoop continuous availability. Our business relies on Big Data and its underlying technology, Hadoop, so we’re addressing all of the data availability challenges associated with it for our customers, which is where WANdisco completely eliminates outages, which would be extremely costly.”

David Richards, chairman and CEO of WANdisco, added: “For companies like Miaozhen, downtime is extremely risky and very expensive. Our unique technology is perfectly suited to support the continuous data availability needs of any run-time Hadoop big data deployment.”
