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 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.

WANdisco Launches Git MultiSite



Adds Enterprise Performance for Distributed Version Control Users

Solution Eliminates Downtime & Data Loss and Provides Global High Availability/Disaster Recovery



Sheffield, UK - WANdisco (LSE: WAND), a provider of high-availability software for global enterprises to meet the challenges of Big Data and distributed software development, announces the launch of Git MultiSite. Git MultiSite is a software solution based on WANdisco's unique patented replication technology that provides 100% uptime and dramatically improved global performance for users of the popular distributed version control system. Distributed teams using Git can now collaborate seamlessly as if they were all in one office.



As with its leading Subversion product, Git MultiSite applies WANdisco's patented Continuous Availability™ replication technology to remove the single point of failure, performance bottleneck and WAN latency issues associated with a central master server. With Git MultiSite, the central Git master server becomes a system of distributed peer servers that are fully readable and writeable and always in sync. If sites or servers go offline, the rest remain fully operational for all users. Merge conflicts and other issues are identified and resolved as soon as they occur, rather than days later, accelerating development cycles and improving product quality. Likewise, administrative tasks can be performed worldwide from a single location while the transaction dashboard monitors the status of each site.



Git MultiSite Key Features:

● Enterprise Class Performance: Developers at every location have access to the most up-to-date changes and enjoy LAN-speed performance for all operations.

● Eliminates Downtime and Data Loss: Removes the single point of failure, WAN latency and performance bottleneck of a central Git master repository. Backup, failover and recovery are automatic.

● Easy to Administer and Manage: New repositories can be added as necessary to accommodate new locations, eliminating downtime during maintenance.

● Open Solution Avoids Vendor Lock-In: Built with open source Git, which can be used with any other open or closed source software that works with Git. Developers and administrators use the Git protocols, GUIs, and other tools that fit their needs.

● Resolves Conflicts Quickly: Merge conflicts and other issues are identified and resolved as soon as they occur, not days later as is often the case in distributed environments.



"We have taken the core WANdisco patented replication technology, in use by thousands of customers, and applied it to the increasingly popular open source Git, enhancing its inherent speed and efficiency with our shared-nothing architecture to eliminate downtime," said David Richards, WANdisco CEO. "Git MultiSite eliminates the risks associated with a master repository model, allowing enterprises to realize the benefits of distributed version control on a global scale, resulting in shorter development cycles, higher quality, and lower costs."

Git MultiSite is available now. Visit www.wandisco.com/git/multisite for more information and click "Free Trial" for an evaluation.

truly amazing and well done for getting in when you did ..... confess i EASILY missed this one, not lest because i see it's average volume is only about 60k a day, which would certainly have worried me .... as would that it is MM only with just 3/4 brokers and only offered in lots of 1,000 ...... very very scary if the tide turns against you

Well worth a read.
