("WANdisco" or the "Company")

Contract win with a top 10 global retailer

WANdisco strengthens its relationship with leading retailer by establishing new environment for machine learning and analytics

WANdisco (LSE: WAND), the LiveData company, is pleased to announce that it has signed a Commit-to-Consume contract worth $720k with a top 10 global retailer (the "Customer"). Using its LiveData Migrator ("LDM") solution, WANdisco will create a new, focused environment for machine learning and other analytical workloads.

WANdisco will support the Customer by helping to move a subset of data from its existing Hadoop environment to a new storage layer in the cloud, while also supporting the continuous replication of any ongoing changes to this data.

The contract win was driven by the Customer's desire to utilise a separate environment with a smaller, more relevant and succinct data set to perform retail demand forecasting as well as other machine learning and analytical workloads.

WANdisco LDM was chosen by the Customer - an existing client of three years - for its ability to continuously move data to where it is needed at the right time, across multiple distributed on-premises environments, edge platforms or public clouds. This automated process ensures the data is kept up to date meaning the Customer is not required to manually refresh the new environment. This guarantees minimal business disruption, data consistency and security.

David Richards, CEO and Co-founder of WANdisco said:

"We are delighted to announce another deal with one of our key retail customers, representing yet another proof point of the strong demand we are seeing from organisations across various sectors to migrate data to the cloud.

"It is incredibly pleasing to see WANdisco continue to deliver new value through existing customer relationships in providing solutions that not only meet, but exceed business use case needs and requirements. Our talented people and critical solutions such as LiveData Migrator, have led the Customer to view WANdisco as a trusted implementation and solutions architect partner, and we look forward to seeing this relationship go from strength to strength".
