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.

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.

Whats your thoughts on this football team then. lol

Well, they haven't had the best of starts but there again it's only early season but I personally don't rate Dave Jones very highly and Sheff Wed although a very well supported club are in a lot of debt I think I'm right in saying, that is unless someone has baled them out that I have missed.

Excuse me there is a thread for football. :-))

This is true -):

Lol.

Lol. You know a lot more about football then me. :-))

Maybe, but not more then William Hill unfortunately -):

Meet Paco, VP of Sales.

Thats their Centre Forward D/C... Every time he gets near their opponents goal he cocks his leg up against the post... Oh yeah and he's over weight as you can see the useless mutt -):

Bit of an ugly brute really. :-))

Shares - Wandisco keeps rising.

It seems entirely sensible to ponder the next phase for WANdisco shares as they blast past the lofty £11.49 target price slapped on the stock by house broker Panmure Gordon. George O'Connor (respected technology analyst ) is preaching the need for calm as the shares hit record £11.75 in the run up to what should be landmark interim figures 26 Sept. He has just cut the 15 month buy recommendation on the Sheffield firm back to hold.
The results next week will give the £240 million cap the chance to show off its new heavyweight financial officer, former Sage man Paul Harrison. Chief executive officer and founder David Richards will also unveil other A grade senior management , fresh Hadoop based tools, new customers and channel partners and additional patent applications, as well as the numbers themselves. Bookings were up 66% in the second quarter.
Richards has repeated many times his ambition to turn the server replication technology specialist into a billion -a-year business or MORE. Profits are not likely until 2015 at the earliest but the ingredients for exponential growth are all there.
Wandisco looks set fair to generate the sort of revenues and profits growth that will please momentum players and those investors willing to take a longer-term view.

OEM Agreement in China



- Leading China Advertising Company, Miaozhen, Standardises on WANdisco Hadoop Big Data Products -



- WANdisco to Provide 100 per-cent Hadoop Uptime for China's Leading Online Advertising Platform -





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 today announces the signing of an OEM agreement with China-based advertising technology leader Miaozhen Systems.



Under the terms of the agreement, Miaozhen will include WANdisco's patented Non-Stop NameNode technology as part of its core Hadoop infrastructure and offering. Miaozhen will deploy WANdisco's patented technology in its customers' data centers to provide 100 per-cent uptime for their Hadoop clusters, ensuring continuous data availability for accurate advertising analytics.



With customers such as P&G, Microsoft, Volkswagen, L'Oreal, Coca-Cola, and YUM!, Miaozhen Systems is the leading third-party advertising technology company in China. The company processes more than two TeraBytes of data each day, with a data processing capability of 100 billion advert requests every day and a cumulative data storage capacity of over two PetaBytes.



WANdisco Non-Stop NameNode delivers 100 per-cent uptime for Hadoop by eliminating the single point of failure - the NameNode - providing the first and only continuous availability solution. Miaozhen Systems will use Non-Stop NameNode to support its online advertising platform, providing clients with continuous availability of advertising campaign performance data in order to enhance returns.



Zhu Wei, CEO of Miaozhen Systems said:



"Downtime is unacceptable for us. We thoroughly investigated the market and WANdisco is the only option for Hadoop continuous availability. Our business relies on Big Data and its underlying technology, Hadoop, so we're addressing all of the data availability challenges associated with it for our customers, which is where WANdisco completely eliminates outages, which would be extremely costly."



David Richards, Chairman and CEO of WANdisco said:



"For companies like Miaozhen, downtime is extremely risky and very expensive. Our unique technology is perfectly suited to support the continuous data availability needs of any run-time Hadoop big data deployment."

I guess David Richards must be quite excited about the results due , with the tweets .
