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.

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."

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

Big Data Will Get Even Bigger In 2015

Thanks to the Internet of Things.



http://readwrite.com/2014/12/26/big-data-will-get-bigger-in-2015

Nice chart.

Dec Investec and finnCap look like they have the target spot on.

believe it when those target levels are hit and held .... confess i got burnt on this one in earlyish 2014, but got out

2014 has seen the share head south. 2013 was fantastic, perhaps the share of the year . Big data is just taking longer than expected to develop.

Up 30p to 505p 'Mid' this morning, as I type. I'm now looking for just a bit more confirmation to show this is going to go on to around the £6 mark - which would be a very useful gain of 20%......



More News like today's RNS on a Big Data management contract with British Gas will obviously help things along. Looks like things are finally taking off now:

British Gas scales up its WANdisco Big Data solution

British Gas, the UK's largest utilities and home services provider, has significantly scaled up its WANdisco (LSE: WAND) Big Data solution for live customer-facing operations. The resulting new three-year subscription is WANdisco's largest Big Data deal to date, with a value of $750,000.

An initial trial deployment of WANdisco's Non-Stop Hadoop (announced on 20 March 2014) enabled British Gas to capture real-time data from over a million household Smart Meters, to demonstrate cost savings in data storage and processing, and to minimise data loss and downtime in compliance with regulations. WANdisco was able to demonstrate performance and scale that otherwise could not have been achieved.

Non-Stop Hadoop is now going into live production, with the amount of data under management scaled up to more than twice its original level. Real-time analytics from the 'Connected Homes' programme will bring benefits such as dynamic matching of energy supply with demand patterns.

Across the whole British Gas data infrastructure, Non-Stop Hadoop accelerates the transformation to a consolidated and available body of management information, for which data centre storage and processing will be handled more efficiently and less expensively.

David Richards, WANdisco Chief Executive, comments:

"Customers see our Hadoop technology as critical for enterprise big data deployments. Enlarging our footprint with existing customers like British Gas, in addition to gathering new customers, is a very important part of our strategy. This deal clearly demonstrates our ability to expand a small initial big data deployment into a much larger deal."

A full update on fourth quarter sales bookings will be released on 19 January.
