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.

In Shares today - Technology champions, dramatic change is coming in the way we live our lives.

WANDisco being one of five companies set to benefit from tomorrows key technology themes. The returns for investors could be astronomical.

The clever server computer replication technology of WANdisco is the best way to gain exposure to the growth of big data.

CEO David Richards sees WANdisco developing into a $1 billion revenue business in time. Panmure Gordon analysts bookings hitting over$24 million in 2014. Panmure has a DCF based valuation of £14.47

Its patient -protected IP allows big data generators and analytics companies 'always-on' data feeds across the globe via clever server computer replication technology.
Based on open sourced technology ,it uses a 'freemium' model, the firm provides free
access to clients and up-sells various in-house built enterprise extras, including newly
launched tools for the Hadoop 2.0 platform, the engine that powers facebook, Amazon,Google and almost every major sourceof big data. With more than five million users world wide across 2000 international companies, WANdisco's claim of a internal pay-back inside of a year and return -on-investment of 150% for its users is compelling.

WANdisco Dramatically Boosts Developer Productivity and Eliminates Downtime for Leading Technology Provider to the Financial Services Industry


San Ramon, CA – November 7, 2013 - WANdisco (LSE: WAND), a provider of high-availability software for global enterprises to meet the challenges of Big Data and distributed software development, announced that a leading global provider of information management and electronic commerce systems for the financial services industry has deployed SVN MultiSite to address productivity losses across its globally distributed development organization caused by poor network performance and outages for remote developers accessing Subversion. After investigating a number of solutions for improving its software development process, WANdisco SVN MultiSite provided the answer to the company’s developer productivity and Subversion server availability challenges.

With more than 500 software developers across three locations in the United States, India, and Central America logging into the same Subversion server, performance and availability were frequent problems, particularly for developers in India. The company estimated daily productivity losses were often as high as 60 percent.

The organization deployed WANdisco SVN MultiSite at two of its three sites, enabling LAN-speed collaboration and allowing all of its developers to work as if they were at one location. With SVN MultiSite, all repositories are fully readable, writeable and continuously in sync.

WANdisco SVN MultiSite removed the single point of failure inherent in their previous implementation of Subversion, providing continuous availability to the entire development organization worldwide with disaster recovery and automatic failover across the sites. Recovery is automatic and immediate if one of the servers goes down, planned or unplanned. When it comes back online it immediately re-synchronizes with the others without administrator involvement. The entire implementation can be monitored and administered from a single location in the US.

“SVN MultiSite is failsafe,” said the company’s director of IT. “If a site in the US were to go down in the old scenario, we would have had to shut down until we fixed it, but we have failover with WANdisco and immediately could redirect to another site in the case of a server outage. We would not be out of business.”

He continued. “Developers no longer wait over an hour to check in code. I used to get one or two emails a day saying that a developer had lost work, had to redo something entirely, or missed a deadline. Lost productivity and bandwidth problems are no longer an issue.”

A recent Forrester Total Economic Impact (TEI) Report completed in July 2013 revealed that SVN MultiSite delivered a return on investment (ROI) of 357% with a payback period of less than two months. The subject of the study was a Fortune 500 company with annual revenues of over $5 billion that had deployed SVN MultiSite two years earlier. Forrester’s TEI methodology measures costs and cost reduction, and weighs the enabling value of a technology in increasing the effectiveness of overall business processes

WANdisco PLC (WAND:LSE) set a new 52-week high during Thursday's trading session when it reached 1,276.07. Over this period, the share price is up 187.01%.

A View From Strata NY: Big Data is Getting Bigger

Published by David Richards on November 9, 2013 in Big Data.

Companies looking to deploy Hadoop are no longer trying to figure out how it might fit into their data centers. They are trying to figure out how to deploy it. 2014 will indeed be the end of trials and the beginning of full-scale enterprise roll-out.

WANdisco Unveils Non-Stop Hadoop for Hortonworks 1.5



- Joint market offering embeds WANdisco technology into Hortonworks' Hadoop distribution -

- New version for Hadoop adds performance and management features -





London, UK - WANdisco (LSE: WAND), a provider of continuous availability software for global enterprises to meet the challenges of Big Data and distributed software development, is pleased to announce the launch of Non-Stop Hadoop for Hortonworks version 1.5. The new product, the first major release developed in partnership with Hortonworks, includes significant performance and administration enhancements for large multi-data center Hadoop deployments.



This version of WANdisco Non-Stop Hadoop, designed for Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP) 2.0, provides the ability to schedule maintenance, imports of large data sets, and other activities by time zone. This allows global enterprises to plan for server downtime and maintain performance across data centers that span multiple geographies.



Non-Stop Hadoop for Hortonworks 1.5 adds support for existing Ambari installations. Apache Ambari is the operational framework for provisioning, managing and monitoring Hadoop clusters. Ambari, which is 100 percent open source, includes an intuitive collection of operator tools and a robust set of APIs that hide the complexity of Hadoop, simplifying the operation of clusters.


Commenting on the product release, David Richards, Executive Chairman and CEO, said:



"Since announcing our partnership in September, we have worked swiftly and successfully with Hortonworks to embed our non-stop Hadoop technology into their latest Hadoop distribution to deliver version 1.5, a joint product release for the Big Data market. Non-Stop Hadoop for Hortonworks gives global enterprises the ability to add or remove servers on-the-fly without interrupting user access. This new release also delivers follow-the-sun capabilities that optimize availability and performance by enabling customers to schedule maintenance and other activities by time zone. WANdisco is continually adding features to ensure 100% uptime with scalability and performance. This release of WANdisco Non-Stop Hadoop for Hortonworks expands on these capabilities by making it easier to manage large global deployments across multiple data centers."

Interesting article in Shares this week - 101% is the average indicative gain you would of made had you automatically invested in all technology-based IPOs since 2010.


While the returns have been spectacular , there may still be upside for the taking. Top performer WANdisco, up 556% since June 2012, remains an interesting play on the big data theme.

Price-to-earnings ratio: -27.35


Dividend yield: 0

Share price as of 13 November: 1,302.50p

Most recent profits: £8m loss (31 Dec 2012)


Wandisco provides data storage for the software development industry.


It provides free access to large storage that can be accessed and backed up from anywhere in the world and then charges for extra services.


The company raised $24million in a London Stock Exchange listing in June 2012.

It has a p/e ratio of minus 27.35, because its most recent results showed an £8m loss. However, investors backing the company believe a profitable future looms.


However, this also reflects the young age of the company, it is just over a year old, and could also be a sign that the company is undervalued. Cloud storage and data security is a big issue at the moment so WANdisco, which provides products used by companies such as Intel, Motorola, Facebook and Google could be in a decent position to take advantage.

Mr Mould says: ‘With more than 5million users worldwide across 2,000 international companies, WANdisco's claim of an internal pay-back inside of a year and return-on-investment of 150% for its users is compelling.


‘While the £272million cap company is not currently expected to make a profits breakthrough until 2015 at the earliest, these estimates are based solely on existing products, suggesting the possibility of cashflow neutrality late next year, or early 2015.


‘Chief executive David Richards sees WANdisco developing into a $1billion revenue business, ambitious given last year's $7.9million of bookings. That will double in 2013, according to some analysts, hitting more than $24million in 2014.’
