MariaDB® Corporation and Qlik® today announced a collaboration to power customer data migrations from legacy database architectures to MariaDB’s modern and scalable database solutions. Using Qlik’s Data Integration platform, customers can easily migrate data from any legacy database source, such as Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server, to MariaDB Enterprise Server, MariaDB Xpand distributed SQL database or MariaDB SkySQL cloud database service, delivering business-ready data at a fraction of the cost of legacy databases. The collaboration ensures high availability, scalability, continuous integration and replication of synced data across on-premises, hybrid and cloud in a few, simple steps.
“Data is growing for every company and our customers need more efficient and affordable ways of storing and accessing data,” said Jim Sears, Vice President of Global Alliances and Channels at MariaDB Corporation. “Qlik Data Integration and MariaDB together help our customers empower their data lifecycles – handling data creation, storage, rapid data migration, application modernization, automated machine learning and analytics – to transform their business with data-driven decisions.”
Qlik is a leader in cloud data integration, change-data-capture (CDC), analytics data pipeline development, and data lineage/cataloging – delivering analytics-ready data fast to cloud platforms where it can be discovered and provisioned by analysts and data scientists. MariaDB is a leader in the development of modern databases that enable massive scale without sacrificing the relational data model and ACID transactions that businesses require. Together, Qlik Data Integration and MariaDB make data available for developers to create purpose-built applications and for businesses to analyze the performance of these applications in real time.

It’s a winning combination.”
