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. 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.

2014 Q3 Bookings update



Record quarterly sales bookings and Big Data win



· Bookings increase by 56% on the preceding quarter and by 21% on prior year



· Fortune 100 technology company selects WANdisco's Big Data technology



· New Big Data partnerships with Oracle and IBM



· New product releases enhance Non-Stop Hadoop and Git Multisite



London, UK - WANdisco (LSE: WAND), the leading provider of non-stop Big Data, reports its highest-ever quarterly sales, with subscription bookings increasing by 21% compared with the prior year to $5.3m.



$4.9m of bookings in the quarter came from the Application Lifecycle Management ("ALM") products, representing 15% growth compared with $4.3m in last year's third quarter. Notable new customers this quarter included Seagate, Tesco, Cablevision, ADP, Nippon Steel and Bank of Nova Scotia. The high proportion of bookings from new subscriptions continues to demonstrate the growth potential that remains in the ALM market.



In addition, many customers extended the usage of our product across their organisations, including McGraw Hill, SanDisk and Western Digital.



Multi-year contracts continue to be prevalent, particularly amongst the larger deals, and consequently the visibility of our future revenues is progressively increasing. The quarter's bookings had a high upfront cash content, benefitting our working capital position.



$0.4m of bookings in the quarter came from our Big Data products (Q3 2013: $0.1m), comprising a new subscription from a Fortune 100 technology vendor in the early stages of a Hadoop deployment.



In addition, a number of the Big Data product trial evaluations referred to in our interim results statement (18 September 2014) progressed further during the quarter - including production trial successes. We therefore continue to expect a significant proportion of these evaluations, mostly with large global corporations, to convert to subscription contracts over the coming months.



Responding to customer requirements, we released Non-Stop Hadoop 1.9.6, including hardware optimisation features to save significant costs and add scale for customers deploying Hadoop. In ALM we released significant enhancements to our Git products.



During the quarter we became certified partners of the Big Data hardware appliances businesses of both Oracle and IBM, representing a significant widening of the distribution channel for our products.



David Richards, WANdisco Chief Executive Officer, comments:

"Our record third quarter sales bookings demonstrate increased momentum in both of our businesses - Big Data and Application Lifecycle Management. 21% growth in sales bookings resulted from each business delivering its highest-ever quarterly sales.



The Big Data business added a significant new customer in global technology, whilst our production trials with prospective customers progressed successfully towards potential subscription contract signings. The Application Lifecycle Management business continues to attract a number of large and high-quality new customers.



Through our deepening distribution partnerships with Cloudera and Hortonworks, alongside new partnerships with Oracle and IBM, we are addressing wider opportunities in our market. As this year progresses we are positioned increasingly favourably in a Big Data marketplace that is attracting unprecedented levels of interest from global corporations."

Signal Update

Our system’s recommendation today is to STAY LONG. The previous BUY signal was issued on 14/10/2014, 17 days ago, when the stock price was 293.0000. Since then WAND.L has risen by +36.52%.

Market Outlook

The market is not a friend of the bulls anymore. The bearish signs are increasing and the odds for a downside breakout is non-negligible.

Shares -

Silicon valleys Apple faced bankruptcy just 15 odd years ago, yet analysts widely believe the iconic gadget maker is expected to make $47 billion of earnings in 2014, a prospect that has ignited its share price to record heights of $111.25 on 13 Nov.Coping with the significant increase in data requires huge investment in IT and telecommunication infrastructure, not to mention increasingly clever software applications to break it all down and make it useful. This is an area where
Wandisco could emerge as a potential giant of tomorrow. The company cut its teeth in innovation, supplying a collaboration software platform called Subversion that effectively allows engineering teams of big companies access to the same open source development systems and projects from anywhere in the world. Based on open source technology, it uses a 'freemium' model, providing free access to clients and up-sells a variety of in-house built enterprise extras, including tools for the Hadoop 2.0 Big data platform.
Having joined AIM on 1 June 2012 at 180p, the stock soared to a peak of £14.80 roughly a year ago, but the market since lost its appetite. Today the shares are trading at 397.5p. Chewing through cash as it builds scale, this is a high risk investment, but WANdisco's server replication technology is built on patented algorithms designed by management, while new business is all subscription based and recurring, and the bid data opportunity is still firmly in its infancy.

Global Credit Card company adopts WANdisco Big Data solution



WANdisco (LSE: WAND) is pleased to announce a new Big Data customer. A global US-based credit card and financial services company has signed a subscription contract to use WANdisco's Non-Stop Hadoop in mission-critical customer transaction analysis.



The subscription value is, for the initial deployment, approximately $250,000 per year. The customer intends to expand its mission-critical Hadoop operations significantly after the initial deployment, by more than doubling the amount of data managed under Non-Stop Hadoop over a two- to three-year period. Significant increases to the subscription value have been agreed, contingent on this planned increase in scale.



One of the top 10 US banks, this new customer has, for over a year, been operating Hadoop for analysis of billions of transactions across its 30 million customers, supported by WANdisco's distribution partner Cloudera. Live production applications are being used to correct transaction errors, integrate with external data to discover transaction trends, gather intelligence from ATMs and mobile phones, and create data visualizations for customers.



As the processing workload has evolved, WANdisco's Non-Stop Hadoop has proved to be the only solution to some mission-critical operating requirements: data loss from outages has to be eliminated; processing at scale has to meet high performance standards and, to spread increasing workload efficiently over computing resources, periodic batch analytics queries have to be separated from more demanding real-time queries. Therefore, WANdisco's technology has been deemed essential to continuing in live production.



Matt Aslett, Research Director, Data Platforms and Analytics, 451 Research, comments:



"We anticipate increased demand for technologies that enable Hadoop to support mission-critical operational workloads. This deployment is indicative of the role that WANdisco's Non-Stop Hadoop can play in enabling greater adoption of Hadoop in live analytic environments."



David Richards, WANdisco Chief Executive Officer, comments:



"The year so far has been marked by widespread production trial activity in the Hadoop market. We are now moving into a phase of production go-lives. Our Non-Stop Hadoop solution is essential for corporations to go live with Hadoop in mission-critical Big Data operations. We foresee a number of additional live implementations in the coming months."

David Richards, WANdisco Chief Executive, adds:



"Adoption of our Big Data solution by the pioneer of retail customer analysis is a great endorsement for our Non-Stop Hadoop product. I expect dunnhumby to make greater use

of WANdisco technology as it expands the scope of its new Hadoop infrastructure."
