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.

Q4 2012 Bookings Update



Q4 Subscription Bookings increase by 76 per cent year-on-year



Renewal rate 140 per cent



Sheffield, UK - WANdisco (LSE: WAND), a provider of high-availability software for global enterprises to meet the challenges of Big Data and distributed software development, is pleased to provide the following update for the final three months of the year ended 31 December 2012.



In the fourth quarter, subscription bookings reached a new record level of $2.518 million, representing a 76 per cent increase year-on-year (2011: $1.427 million). When combined with bookings for the first nine months of the year of $5.399 million, the total bookings for 2012 were $7.917 million (2011: $4.618 million), representing an increase of 71 per cent.



Notable new customers secured in the fourth quarter include Apple, Fujitsu, Cap Gemini, General Dynamics, Delta Systems, Penn State University, E-Signal, Pioneer Investments, Georgia Tech and another division of Cisco. The company also announced new deals from its recently established presence in China including H3C and Nanjing Exchange.



The annualised renewal rate by booking value was 140 per cent. It should be noted that this number includes the impact of four existing customers, each of which significantly increased its usage of WANdisco products in the period. Excluding these four customers from the calculation results in an underlying renewal rate of 116 per cent, which is more consistent with historic levels. Renewals in the fourth quarter included John Deere, European Southern Observatory, Cooper Power, Amgen, Sherwin Williams, Mentor Graphics, Pitney Bowes, Ansys, Navis, Huawei and Western Digital.



During the period the Company announced the acquisition of pioneering Big Data company, AltoStor. The acquisition underscored WANdisco's drive into the Big Data solutions market, forecast by analyst firm Wikibon to grow at a compound annual rate of 58 per cent between 2012 and 2017 and from $5 billion to approximately $50 billion in the same timeframe. The addition to the WANdisco software development team of AltoStor co-founders Dr. Konstantin Shvachko and Jagane Sundar, who are among the core creators of Apache Hadoop has significantly reduced time-to-market for WANdisco's new big data products. As a result, the company now anticipates the release of its first Big Data products during the first quarter of 2013.



WANdisco will report results for the financial year ended 31 December 2012 on Thursday, 25 April 2013.

Fantastic news

David Richards has stated he would love to turn Wandisco into a $1 billion company.
If the company continues on this pace who knows may see £10 a share this year(or more) and who knows where this is going. I think the analysts have only just understood the company potential.

WANdisco: Panmure Gordon ups target price from 537p to 565p, while downgrading from buy to hold.

WANdisco’s trading update confirmed that momentum continued into Q4, both in terms of commercial progress with the Subversion application lifecycle management business and in hitting development milestones in big data, where the first product launches are now anticipated in Q1.

Record subscription bookings for Wandisco - FT.com

http://www.wandisco.com/get?f=documentation%2Fpress%2FRecord-subscription-bookings-for%20Wandisco%20-%20FT.pdf

MORNING NOTEWANdisco’s Q4 Subscription Bookings increased by 76% YOY and are ahead
of our, and consensus, estimates. Also, pleasingly the 12 month bookings
growth rate, 71%, topped the 69% growth rate for the nine month period. In
addition there is a slew of very impressive new customer names – Apple,
Cisco, CapGemini, Fujitsu to name a few, which is proof of the sales ‘talent’
at WANdisco, and the new professionalism running in the organisation. This
is a bookings update, so WANdisco did not disclose further P&L results –
investors need to await the April results – but in our view they are likely to be
similarly a shade better than expectations.

WANdisco Trading Statement: Good News continues but 2014 PE now 120

Is anyone changing forecasts? At this stage no. That means that WANdisco will report a 2013 loss. Earnings per share ( Panmure estimate) should come in at 4.8p in 2014 and by 2015 (my estimate as none of the analysts not even of the paid for lackey variety can be bothered) earnings could hit 15p. With a very high cross margin and this rate of revenue growth 2016 could see 25p plus.

Of course in technology things can move fast. And that is the danger of forecasting out too far ahead. But the potential earnings growth is why the shares continue to move ahead.

WANdisco Teams with Cloudera to Accelerate Adoption of Apache Hadoop-based Business Solutions











WANdisco Joins Cloudera Connect Partner Program


San Ramon, CA – January 21, 2013 - WANdisco (LSE: WAND), a provider of high-availability software for global enterprises to meet the challenges of Big Data and distributed software development, today announced it is an authorized member of the Cloudera Connect Partner Program. The program focuses on accelerating the innovative use of Apache Hadoop for a range of business applications. WANdisco Big Data solutions support Cloudera’s open-source Apache Hadoop distribution, CDH.

WANdisco’s patented active-active replication technology turns globally distributed servers into mirrors of each other so they always remain in-sync, providing continuous hot-backup and automatic failover across every site for non-stop data recovery. By applying this technology to Big Data with products being announced this quarter, WANdisco allows enterprises to put truly effective business continuity strategies into place by having globally distributed data synchronized in real-time.

“We are pleased to welcome WANdisco into the Cloudera Connect network of valued service and solution providers for Apache Hadoop and look forward to working together to bring the power of Big Data to more enterprises,” said Tim Stevens, VP of Business and Corporate Development at Cloudera. “As a trusted partner, we will equip WANdisco with the tools and resources necessary to support, manage and innovate with Apache Hadoop-based solutions.”

WANdisco’s technology removes the single point of failure inherent in Hadoop and works over both Wide Area Networks (WANs) spanning multiple servers thousands of miles apart, as well as over Local Area Networks (LANs). This provides enterprises with non-stop availability and addresses planned outages by allowing administrators to take servers offline for maintenance without interrupting user access.

In addition to supporting CDH, as a member of Cloudera Connect, WANdisco adds Cloudera’s extensive tools, use case insight and resources to its already broad and deep expertise of Hadoop committers. This enables the company to provide customers with rich deployment, support and management of Apache Hadoop so they can quickly begin benefiting from their clusters and data as well as disaster recovery and business continuity strategies.

“Our partnership with Cloudera provides organizations with the ability to utilize Cloudera’s CDH while taking advantage of WANdisco’s active-active replication technology for high availability global deployments,” said David Richards, WANdisco CEO. “We look forward to working with Cloudera to deliver non-stop Big Data solutions to enterprises.”

WANdisco establishes China Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise





Sheffield, UK - WANdisco (LSE: WAND), a provider of high-availability software for global enterprises to meet the challenges of Big Data and distributed software development, is pleased to announce that it has established a Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise ("WFOE") in Chengdu, China.



The WFOE, named WANdisco China (officially WANdisco Software Chengdu Ltd) aims to expand WANdisco's activities in the region. WFOE status provides WANdisco with the ability to conduct business in China as WANdisco, rather than through a local representative, thereby maximising the efficiency of the Company's local operations and its control over strategy and future development.



WANdisco joins an extensive list of global companies with a presence in Chengdu, which has become an emerging base in China for IT companies, including Intel, IBM, Apple, Cisco, NOKIA, Canon, HP, Xerox, Microsoft and Dell. WANdisco China will serve as WANdisco's China headquarters.



From this China HQ, WANdisco will provide sales, training, consulting and 24/7 customer support for its software solutions sold in the country. The HQ office will support the Company's existing sales office in Beijing. The Company will also continue to expand sales and support offices in Shanghai and other key locations.



"We view China as an emerging and high growth market for WANdisco," said David Richards, CEO of WANdisco. "Having secured our first sale in China with Huawei, it was a natural progression to establish our Chengdu office as a WFOE and concentrate our efforts here, given so many companies have operations in the country. We are excited about this announcement and look forward to the growth opportunities this brings."



In July 2012, WANdisco announced a key enterprise installation of its Application Life Cycle (ALM) Subversion MultiSite solution with Huawei. The premier smartphone and communications solution provider purchased Subversion MultiSite to solve network latency issues between China and Canada

San Ramon, CA – January 23, 2013 - WANdisco (LSE: WAND), a provider of high-availability software for global enterprises to meet the challenges of Big Data and distributed software development, announced that Mark Schreiber has joined the company as Vice President of Business Development. Reporting to Peter Scott, WANdisco’s VP of Worldwide Sales, Schreiber will focus on developing new business, strategic relationships and partnerships.

“Mark has proven success with high-growth technology companies, extensive experience building strategic partnerships and leading corporate development,” said David Richards, CEO for WANdisco. “As we launch our Big Data products and start investigating ALM partnerships, we look forward to the new strategic relationships he puts in place. We’re pleased he chose to join our team.”

“It’s an exciting time to be joining WANdisco and I’ve hit the ground running,” said Schreiber. “It’s the same incredible opportunity I saw back when I was launching Fanplayr, only more robust because WANdisco is entering the Big Data market, which essentially touches every enterprise. I couldn’t have found a better fit.”

Schreiber joins WANdisco from Fanplayr, a startup focused on driving conversions on any website that offers an eCommerce component, where his launch strategy and execution acquired more than 1,000 eCommerce clients for the company in its first six months, making it the leader in eCommerce traffic analytics, insight and conversion. Prior, Schreiber was Cloud Services Executive with Hewlett-Packard, responsible for more than $65M in revenues at eBay, Intel, Wells Fargo, Chevron, Kaiser, Visa and Bechtel. Previous to HP, Schreiber held senior strategic management and business development positions with Wipro Technologies, SocialTwist, Extreme Networks and Cisco, among others.

Schreiber earned his Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of Southern California
