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.

Inaugural Multi-Cloud Contract Win

$565k contract for multi-cloud and multi tenancy use cases

WANdisco (LSE: WAND), the LiveData company, is pleased to announce it has secured its first multi-cloud contract with one of the largest mobile network operators in the world (the "Client"). The agreement is valued at approximately $565,000 and will see the Client deploy the Company's patented Big Data and Cloud product, WANdisco Fusion for Multi-Cloud ("Fusion").

The contract was won directly by WANdisco, whilst working with Amazon Web Services. The Client will deploy Fusion to enable continuous replication of data across multiple Amazon cloud environments and locations. This marks the first contract where a Client will utilise Fusion for both multi-cloud and multi-tenancy use cases. The initial three-year subscription contract is valued at approximately $565,000 with opportunities for expansion during the term. The contract was closed and will be recognised in FY 2018.

WANdisco Fusion for Multi-Cloud allows for consistent global data across an organisation allowing customers to replicate data across a multi-cloud architecture with guaranteed data accuracy. The technology allows for the optimisation of a multi-vendor cloud strategy ensuring data is concurrently available in different cloud applications, preventing vendor lock-in while cutting total cost of ownership through reducing switching costs across different cloud vendors.

WANdisco Fusion is the only solution that can enable organisations to seamlessly move large volumes of data with consistent and continuous availability whilst meeting regulatory requirements. WANdisco's patented technology ensures our customers are able to leverage the impact of their IT investment to support exponential data growth without growing the IT budget.

David Richards, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of WANdisco, commented:

"It is becoming increasingly unlikely that businesses of this scale will chose to depend on a single cloud vendor for their data requirements. We are seeing businesses with complex data requirements choose multiple suppliers for a range of specialised data use cases. This requires data to be replicated across a multi-cloud architecture with guaranteed data accuracy. The only technology that can enable such live data at scale is WANdisco Fusion.

"We built strong momentum during the second half of FY18, leveraging the full power of our sales model and winning contracts which are increasingly recurring in nature, both directly through our salesforce and through our partnerships with IBM, Microsoft and Amazon."

Distributed computing software company WANdisco said it had launched a new joint-engineered solution with IBM to support relational database technology.

The so-called IBM Db2 Big SQL solution was created to extend the capability of IBM Big Replicate -- IBM's product name for WANdisco Fusion -- to support scenarios where customers were looking to take advantage of hybrid cloud.

'This co-engineered SQL solution with IBM is an exciting breakthrough for WANdisco as this is the first time that our technology has been applied to SQL data,' chief executive id Richards said.

'This launch also represents a significant advancement of our relationship with a key partner and the scope of our addressable market in IBM's channel.'

'WANdisco's unique technology presents great opportunity to collaborate with partners to address novel data requirements that previously have not been possible to meet.'
