Yugabyte, a leader in open-source distributed SQL databases, has announced a new cooperation with Tech Data, a TD SYNNEX subsidiary. This is Yugabyte's first relationship with TD SYNNEX & Tech Data in the Asia Pacific & Japan region. It supports Tech Data's objective of advancing capabilities in cloud-native architectures, particularly for born-in-the-cloud partner ecosystems, to drive digital transformation built on data for business partners.
With growing interest around transformative trends such as Mission Critical Microservices due to its promise of improved scalability when compared to monolithic systems, born in the cloud apps, edge and IOT applications are driving shifts in today’s database market. IDC Futurescape predicts that “by 2024, nearly 60% of organisations’ new custom-developed applications will be built and managed using microservices as foundations for stronger and higher performing automation.” These shifts necessitate the need for modern databases to support these modern applications.
“We have observed a trend of end-customers looking to move apps to both hybrid and multi-cloud, as well as new startups building applications in the cloud. With a distributed SQL database built to power global-scale cloud native applications, Yugabyte is well positioned to value-add and support their needs as their operations scale,” shared Bennett Wong, Vice-President for Advanced Solutions, Modern Data Center & Analytics, Tech Data Asia Pacific & Japan.
“As more organisations and ISV’s in Asia embrace digital transformation and app modernisation, the need for a cloud-native database is rising. YugabyteDB is built to simplify data geo-distribution as well as to enable speed, scale, resiliency, security and portability, all critical for modern workloads. Our partnership with Tech Data will help accelerate the adoption of YugabyteDB to support partners in modernising the data layer for their customers. Tech Data’s alignment to open source technologies and presence across the APJ market will allow us to quickly connect and engage with the partner ecosystem effectively.” Says Danny Zaidifard, VP, Business Development & Partners at Yugabyte.
The benefits of this new partnership include:
-
Expanded cloud-native architectural capabilities for born-in-the-cloud partner ecosystems, allowing businesses to focus on business growth rather than complex data infrastructure management.
-
Infrastructure modernisation, data centre automation, application modernisation, cloud operating model, and workload segmentation are all fully aligned with Tech Data's Go-To-Market (GTM) strategy for Next-Generation Data Centres, facilitating digital transformation.
-
Being the foundation of Tech Data's Analytics GTM strategy for Data Modernisation, Data Fabric, and Hybrid Motion to enable modern applications that require a cloud-native relational database that is durable, scalable, and geo-distributed to support our customers' data maturity journey.
“We are excited to collaborate with Yugabyte to support the enormous growth of independent software vendors and startups across the Asia Pacific and Japan region, particularly in markets like India where Tech Data has deep roots in the enterprise partner ecosystem. This new partnership supports our goal of being a leader in Data Lifecycle and also enables us to expand into application and database modernisation,” added Bennett Wong.
