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.

The company

Co-founded in 2005 by David Richards, Jim Campigli and Dr Yeturu Aahlad, WANdisco has dual headquarters in Silicon Valley and Sheffield, England.

The IPO was oversubscribed by over 300% and the list of investors included Fidelity, Legal & General, Blackrock, Artemis, Hargreave Hale, Cazenove, M&G, Octopus and Standard Life.

WANdisco Launches one of the First Hybrid Data Lake Architectures
in Collaboration with AWS
 
WANdisco (LSE: WAND), a world leader in Active Data Replication®, is pleased to announce the launch of one of the first hybrid data lake architectures in collaboration with Amazon Web Services ("AWS"). Using patented WANdisco Fusion® technology, continuously changing data from AWS on-premises data lakes can now be replicated to and from AWS with guaranteed consistency, no downtime and no business disruption.
 
The integration of on-premises Hadoop clusters with the data lake solution on AWS, WANdisco Fusion® and Amazon Simple Storage Service ("Amazon S3") in one of the industry's first hybrid data lake architectures supports use cases such as seamless disaster recovery in the event of an outage and cloud migration to unlock the full potential of cloud analytics for disruptive business intelligence - all whilst lowering overheads. Data that has been replicated to Amazon S3 can also be used by Amazon Athena to provide capacity as required for burst out processing for ad-hoc queries of unstructured, semi-structured, and structured data sets. 
 
David Richards, Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chairman of WANdisco, commented:
 
"The integration of WANdisco Fusion as part of one of the first hybrid data lake architectures shows we are a critical part of the cloud and on-premises ecosystems. This enterprise-grade solution moves active, continuously changing data to the cloud with no downtime and no disruption, keeping both on-premises and cloud environments in sync. With the  data lake solution on AWS, enterprises can benefit from real-time analytics from multiple sources, enabling them to accelerate product and service innovation, improve customer experience and respond to current and future regulatory and compliance requirements."
