Actian expands global channel and channel programme

Data outfit Actian has announced the arrival of its new global partner programme which will provide new features and benefits for value-added distributors and system integrators.

AvalancheTM cloud data warehouse is supposed to provide a more than twenty times performance advantage over rival offerings such as AWS Redshift and Snowflake.

The company said channel partners were a key part of its strategic long-term growth plan and it was doubling its usual 10 percent  referral incentive to 20 percent through to the end of 2019.

Actian completes Pervasive Software deal

Hands across the waterActian has signed on the dotted line and completed its purchase of Pervasive Software.

The big data management company has said that having the cloud-based and on-premises data business on board means it will be able to deliver a portfolio of highly scalable, elastic and performant products that drive positive business outcomes in the Age of Data.

Steve Shine, chief executive officer of Actian said that big data could and would impact every industry as organisations struggled to take action on their data due to legacy technology too rigid or expensive to scale.

Robin Bloor, chief analyst and co-founder, The Bloor Group, described the merger as “powerful”. He said the combination of the technologies would provide Actian with a performance capability for BI and Data Analytics which no other company could “currently equal”.
