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.

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.

WANdisco 's Non-Stop Hadoop Certified on Cloudera's New Enterprise Hadoop Product Suite

Leading provider of enterprise-ready non-stop software solutions makes Cloudera Continuously Available



London, UK - WANdisco (LSE: WAND), the leading provider of continuous availability software for global enterprises to meet the challenges of Big Data, is pleased to announce WANdisco's Non-Stop Hadoop technology is now certified to run on Cloudera 5, a suite of enterprise Hadoop applications, providing continuous availability for global multi-data center deployments.

Cloudera 5 takes Cloudera's Hadoop suite forward from its previous release, CDH4, which WANdisco's Non-Stop Hadoop product is also certified to run on. The new release includes open source CDH5 (Cloudera's Distribution including Apache Hadoop), the Cloudera Enterprise offering, including a full range of batch and real-time data analytics applications, and Cloudera Manager 5, the latest version of Cloudera's management console.

With Cloudera 5, Cloudera's customers can choose which components they wish to license and WANdisco's Non-Stop Hadoop technology will work with any combination they select.



Tim Stevens, Cloudera vice president Business and Corporate Development, said:

"Cloudera 5 together with WANdisco's Non-Stop Hadoop technology enables us to deliver our full suite of real-time data analytics and data management applications for global multi-data center deployments."

David Richards, WANdisco Chief Executive Officer, said:

"Cloudera 5 is Cloudera's platform for the next generation of enterprise Hadoop applications. Continuous data availability is a 'must-have' for large organizations looking to leverage Hadoop for strategic systems and WANdisco's Non-Stop Hadoop technology is the only solution that delivers it for Cloudera 5. We have a number of deployments already underway on the Cloudera big data platform and with certification now granted for Cloudera 5, the market opportunity for our Non-Stop Hadoop product can be extended further within the enterprise."

Cloudera investment by Intel puts a spotlight on the potential
While valuations of some listed big data companies have recently shown signs of fatigue, it is becoming increasingly apparent that Hadoop is set to be at the centre of a generational shift in database technology. Intel’s $740m investment for an 18% stake in Cloudera announced on 31 March highlights the strategic value that industry majors are prepared to pay to secure a position in this transition. This investment followed a $160m financing, announced on 18 March led by T. Rowe Price, which included investment from Google Ventures and Michael Dell’s investment firm, MSD Capital. Also in March, Hortonworks announced a $100m funding round lead by BlackRock and Passport capital.
In conjunction with the investment, Intel is also ceasing the promotion of its own distribution to adopt Cloudera’s. While we had never considered Intel’s home-grown distribution to be a serious contender, the move consolidates the dominance of Cloudera and Hortonworks, which already hold an estimated 85% of the commercial Hadoop distribution market, thus highlighting the strength of WANdisco’s partnerships in the arena.
IDC estimates that the global market for big data technology and services is expected to expand at a 27% annual rate to $32bn through 2017.

Q1 2014 Bookings Update

http://www.moneyam.com/action/news/showArticle?id=4794559

WANdisco says Q1 2014 bookings up 40% to $4.2m

Revenues not coming in fast enough, I can see this company returning to the market with the begging bowl in the next few months. I perhaps wrongly thought new customers would of been gained at a faster pace. Again will keep the thread going out of interest.

Could perhaps fall further, if WAND have to come to the market for cash injection.

Abandon ship.

glad i bailed out a few pounds back

ouch !!!!!!!!!

May well bounce strong with some upbeat news, mind you news seems to have dried up in the last month.

I also applies here what I said earlier at MONI thread


So guys be carefull now

WELL there is a new strategy across the pond, and that is ..... they are no longer chasing high-growth stocks and instead they want solid large-cap dividend-paying companies.

good luck

Cheers panto, Jumped in the teens. :-))
