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.

Partnership with Hortonworks
- Hortonworks and WANdisco Partner to Make Hadoop Continuously Available -
Sheffield, UK - WANdisco (LSE: WAND), a provider of continuous-availability software for global enterprises to meet the challenges of Big Data and distributed software development and Hortonworks, the leading contributor to and provider of enterprise Apache™ Hadoop® announce that the Hortonworks Data Platform ("HDP") will support WANdisco's Non-Stop Hadoop technology. With this announcement, Hortonworks and WANdisco are addressing critical enterprise requirements around multi-datacentre data availability so customers can better leverage Apache Hadoop globally across data centres.
The two companies will jointly go to market to provide integrated, high performance Big Data solutions built on HDP with full integration of WANdisco's Non-Stop Hadoop software. Together, WANdisco and Hortonworks will deliver 100 per cent uptime for global enterprises using HDP across multiple data centres.
HDP is the only 100 per cent open source Hadoop distribution with all code contributed to the Apache Software Foundation ("ASF"), and is the only distribution that runs natively on Windows and Linux that enables organizations to capture, process and share data in any format and at scale. With WANdisco's support, HDP is quickly becoming the preferred distribution for the ecosystem to deliver enterprise Hadoop to their customers.
Hortonworks recently entered a reseller agreement with SAP, whereby SAP will resell HDP integrated with the SAP HANA platform. Other Hortonworks customers include eBay, Spotify, Xing and CDW.
Irfan Khan, senior vice president and general manager, SAP Big Data, SAP said:
"Global organizations require big data solutions that can meet stringent data and availability needs across wide geographies. We believe the integration of WANdisco's active-active replication technology with the Hortonworks enterprise Apache Hadoop distribution makes sense for SAP customers looking to leverage big data."
David Richards, Chairman and CEO of WANdisco said:
"Enterprises are increasingly adopting Apache Hadoop as a core element of their IT infrastructure. Working with Hortonworks is a natural fit given their leadership in the Apache Hadoop community and opens up a new and exciting route to market for us. A major enterprise requirement is continuous data availability and WANdisco's Non-Stop Hadoop Technology is the only technology available that addresses it. The combination of WANdisco, Hortonworks and SAP together will provide a reference architecture for Hadoop in the Enterprise."
Rob Bearden, CEO of Hortonworks said:
"With WANdisco, we share a vision to deliver an enterprise viable data platform for our mutual customers. HDP together with WANdisco's Non-Stop Hadoop technology provides enterprises with a truly integrated Big Data solution that guarantees data access and global disaster recovery."

EQUITY PLACING BY ACCELERATED BOOKBUILD OF UP TO 2 MILLION SHARES
- Net Proceeds to Fund Accelerated Investment in Strategic Plans and Opportunities for Growth -
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 its intention to place up to 2 million new ordinary shares to institutional investors (the "Placing") via an accelerated bookbuilding process.
Rationale for the Placing
WANdisco deploys its differentiated, patented active/active replication technology to over 200 customers across multiple industry verticals and in multiple markets. WANdisco's products are designed to help customers deal with two distinct and increasingly important global business issues.
First, in the Application Lifecycle Market ("ALM") where WANdisco has a leading market position, WANdisco's products provide a cost-effective solution to the problems faced by organisations with globally distributed software engineering teams. Secondly, in the Big Data market, which Wikibon forecasts to grow to $50 billion by 2016, WANdisco's products provide continuous data availability to customers seeking to gain competitive advantage by leveraging high volumes of data within their businesses. Both of these markets have demonstrated and continue to demonstrate high rates of growth.
Since its admission to trading on AIM on 1 June 2012, WANdisco has made significant progress in its strategy to pursue growth in both of these markets. Since admission, the Company has delivered on all of its IPO commitments, including the expansion of its ALM sales team; the strengthening of its Board and management team; the development, early delivery and first sales of its Big Data products; and the delivery of consistently high bookings growth.
In recent months it has become clear to the directors that opportunities for growth in both of its markets, particularly in the Big Data market, have both increased and accelerated in nature. The directors intend to use the funds raised via the Placing to pursue these opportunities, in particular to help maintain and extend WANdisco's first mover advantage in the Big Data market.
The Placing
WANdisco announces that the Company intends to place up to 2 million new ordinary shares ("Ordinary Shares") in the Company (the "Placing Shares") with institutional investors.
The Placing Shares are to be issued by the Company pursuant to the directors' existing authority to allot Ordinary Shares for cash on a non pre-emptive basis.
The Placing is subject to the terms and conditions set out in Appendix 'A.'
Panmure Gordon & Co ("Panmure Gordon") and the Company will today commence an accelerated bookbuilding process in respect of the Placing ("Bookbuild"). The book will open with immediate effect. The timing of the closing of the book, pricing and allocations are at the discretion of Panmure Gordon and WANdisco. Details of the Placing Price and the final number of Placing Shares to be issued will be announced as soon as practicable after the close of the Bookbuild.
The Company will apply for admission of the Placing Shares to trading on AIM ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will take place on or around 1 October 2013.
The Placing Shares will, when issued, be credited as fully paid and will rank in full for all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid in respect of the Ordinary Shares then in issue and will otherwise rank upon Admission pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares of the Company.
Panmure Gordon is acting as Bookrunner in connection with the Placing.
