WANdisco (WAND)     

dreamcatcher - 07 Jul 2012 23:31




WANdisco stands for Wide Area Network Distributed Computing, and we make software happen.

This is because our technology is the secret ingredient behind the products that you use every day – from mobile phones to machinery. We are an active member of the community that develops the world’s most popular Source Code product: Subversion, and our technology is used by half of the world’s software developers.

Our customers include a host of Fortune 1000 companies such as Hewlett Packard, Intel, John Deere, European Southern Observatory, Barclays Capital, Walmart, GE and Cisco.

How it works

With our patented technology, software developers in distributed locations can work simultaneously, creating a seamless global network. Users at every site where WANdisco is installed have local access to the same data at all times, which means that they can make changes locally and see each other’s changes immediately.

We are proud to have a 98% customer renewal rate – which is driven by compelling ROI data: a recent study from Forrester Research has shown that our Subversion MultiSite offers a 167% return on investment with a nine-month payback period.

The company

Co-founded in 2005 by David Richards, Jim Campigli and Dr Yeturu Aahlad, WANdisco has dual headquarters in Silicon Valley and Sheffield, England. WANdisco grew, without raising any private equity, venture capital or angel finance to become a leading provider of global collaboration software to the software development industry.

On June 1st, 2012 the company had a highly successful IPO on the London Stock Exchange raising over $24 million. The IPO was oversubscribed by over 300% and the list of investors included Fidelity, Legal & General, Blackrock, Artemis, Hargreave Hale, Cazenove, M&G, Octopus and Standard Life. WANdisco's ticker is WAND.L

WANdisco (WAND:AIM) 947.5p

STORY

WANdisco is largely about connectivity, supplying an ‘always-on’ data feed across the globe via clever server computer replication technology. The name stands for ‘Wide Area Network DIStributed Computing’ and it is based in Sheffield’s Electric Works digital campus, with offices in Silicon Valley, where chief executive officer David Richards lives. The company joined Aim in June last year raising £15 million at 180p, and the shares have captured the imagination of investors like nothing else since, rising more than 425%.

BIG DATA PITCH

Cut its teeth in innovation, supplying a collaboration software platform called Subversion that effectively allows engineering teams of big companies access to the same open source development systems and projects from anywhere in the world. Based on open source technology, it uses a ‘freemium’ model – it provides free access to clients and up-sells a variety of in-house built enterprise extras, including newly launched tools for the Hadoop 2.0 platform. Hadoop is the big data engine that Facebook, Amazon, Google and almost all the big technology firms rely on. WANdisco unveiled its first big data customer win in April.

NUMBERS

At IPO the company was servicing five million users worldwide across 2,000 international companies, a base earned thanks to WANdisco’s claim of an internal pay-back inside of a year and return-on-investment of 150% for its users. While the £200 million company is not currently expected to make a profits breakthrough for several years, estimates out there at the moment are based solely on the firm’s existing products. There is the possibility of cashflow neutrality late next year, or early 2015. Richards sees WANdisco developing into a $1 billion revenue business in time, ambitious given last year’s $7.9 million of bookings. That will double this year, reckon Panmure Gordon analysts, hitting over $21 million in 2014. The broker has a discounted cashflow-based valuation of £12.35.

COMPANY SAYS (David Richards, CEO)

‘We are incredibly pleased with the progress achieved since our IPO in June 2012. Our revenues have almost doubled during this period in a fast growing market and our results today are ahead of expectation. Our major investments in talented people and complementary IP during 2012 have enabled us to launch new products for the high growth big data market, which we believe ideally position WANdisco for long term sustained growth. We have delivered a tremendous start to 2013, securing another record quarter in Q1 where we saw 96% growth in bookings. Some of the world’s largest, most innovative companies know they must get to grips with the big data challenge and – perhaps even more importantly – are prepared to trust WANdisco to help them do that.’

TortoiseSVN.net is now part of WANdisco!

Published by Mand on June 13, 2013 in Subversion and WANdisco. 0 Comments




You may have seen the news release earlier today, advising that WANdisco has acquired TortoiseSVN.net, home to the world’s most popular Subversion client for Windows, TortoiseSVN.

We’re excited about this for a number of reasons:

- TortoiseSVN is an award-winning open source Subversion client software for Windows with millions of users.

- We (WANdisco) have been a major contributor to the TortoiseSVN project since 2010.

- We already support customers who are quite happy with TortoiseSVN, and want to continue using it.

- We’ve had a dedicated TortoiseSVN section on our popular Subversion forum for a while now so we’re familiar with a lot of the issues users face and the new features they’re looking for.

- This acquisition, along with our cross-platform Subversion client, SmartSVN, puts us in a great position to help drive development of features users will love, regardless of their environment.

As part of the acquisition Stefan Küng, the lead developer on the TortoiseSVN project since the start, has joined the ‘Disco to continue development on TortoiseSVN.

Welcome aboard Stefan, and the TortoiseSVN community!

WANdisco Integrates S3-Enabled HDFS Feature with Latest Apache Hadoop Distribution











WDD 3.6 Simplifies Public to Private Cloud Migration and Data Import




San Jose (Hadoop Summit, Booth 50), CA – June 26, 2013 - WANdisco (LSE: WAND), a provider of high-availability software for global enterprises to meet the challenges of Big Data and distributed software development, today announced the newest release of WANdisco Distro (WDD). Powered by Apache Hadoop 2, WDD 3.6 includes S3-Enabled HDFS as well as utilities for seamlessly importing data from external sources into HDFS.

Simplified Cloud Migration and Data Transfer

With WDD 3.6 and the new S3-enabled HDFS feature, all Amazon S3 capabilities are delivered, including searchable metadata tagging of images, video and other unstructured data, snapshots, and data object versioning. In addition, popular third-party applications that use Amazon’s S3 API will run unmodified. By implementing WANdisco’s Non-Stop NameNode solutions with WDD 3.6, private cloud deployments with these S3 features are available 24/7, with unmatched scalability and performance.

WDD, which features an intuitive UI that simplifies Hadoop cluster installation and administration, also supports seamless and transparent data ingestion into HDFS from external sources such as webserver logs, data appliances, RDBMS servers, and others. Finally, a new Hadoop user stack interface architecture simplifies the addition of Hadoop ecosystem components for further ease of deployment.

“Feedback from the Wikibon community indicates that the public cloud, specifically the Amazon Web Services cloud, is a popular choice for experimenting with Hadoop and Big Data application development,” said Jeff Kelly, Big Data Analyst, Wikibon. “Many enterprises, however, prefer to bring Hadoop back in-house when moving to production. WANdisco Distro with S3-enabled HDFS makes migrations significantly simpler, allowing enterprises to seamlessly move data from the Amazon cloud to in-house private cloud environments without needing to rewrite Big Data applications.”

All WDD components are tested and certified using Apache BigTop, a sophisticated framework for the development, integration testing, and deployment of the Apache Hadoop ecosystem. WANdisco also works closely with the open source community as well as other leading big data vendors to ensure seamless interoperability across the Hadoop ecosystem, enabling users to leverage investments in new and existing Hadoop-compatible tools and applications without vendor lock-in.

"An increasing number of enterprises are looking to move their skunkworks projects from Amazon to private clouds and WANdisco Distro simplifies the process," said David Richards, CEO of WANdisco. "With this release, we’re continuing to simplify Hadoop so enterprises can focus on reaping the benefits of Big Data."

Availability

WDD 3.6, based on Apache Hadoop 2.0.5, is available for free immediate download at www.wandisco.com/hadoop/download.
