Big Data Management and Cloud Solutions

The demand for Hadoop and data lake solutions continues to grow, driven by business needs for real-time analytics and IoT solutions. Combined with more customers moving to production with Big Data solutions, Attunity sees growth in the demand for its solutions. The customers’ strategic data lake initiatives are typically larger in scale, generating sales opportunities that range from several hundred thousand dollars to over a million dollars, and continue to play an important role in driving our topline growth.

We believe that Attunity’s competitive strength is primarily in its ability to deliver a universal, hybrid and real-time platform. Customers prefer the universal platform as it meets their need for broad support of data sources and targets, including hybrid environments across cloud and on premise data centers.  Attunity ramped up its activity in the SAP market, the largest in the ERP industry, with its Replicate for SAP solution. This solution offers a unique value to the SAP market and strengthens Attunity’s differentiation with an application-level replication that its traditional competition does not offer. Market demand for the Attunity Replicate for SAP solution was validated in a relatively short period of time by customers. Looking ahead, there is a great interest for Attunity Replicate for SAP among Fortune 500 companies, which are key in driving future deal size.

The cloud continues to present a growth opportunity for Attunity as enterprises look to migrate their databases to cloud platforms, and leverage the cloud as a platform for data lakes and big data analytics. These needs drive the demand for efficient and reliable solutions for moving data from customers’ data centers. Attunity is well positioned to accommodate this growing need with its hybrid data ingestion and replication platform, engaging customers directly as well as referrals from leading global partners, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft.
