SAN RAMON, CA --(Marketwired - December 29, 2015) -  WANdisco
(LSE: WAND) a leading provider of continuous availability
software for global enterprises to meet the challenges of Big
Data, today announced two of the largest deals ever for its
flagship Fusion product for Hadoop, with a combined value of well
over one million dollars. These two new contracts comprise an
initial sale to a well-known US financial services firm, and a
major expansion deal with an existing customer that is also one
of Europe's largest mobile carriers. Both customers use Fusion to
meet stringent SLAs (service level agreements) for their
production business applications deployed on Hadoop.

The financial services customer, one of the largest life insurers
in the US, faces stringent regulatory and business requirements
for guaranteed data consistency and availability across multiple
data centers. Without a large IT staff dedicated to Hadoop
support, they also required a solution that was easy to
administer with automated disaster recovery to eliminate downtime
and data loss. After extensive evaluation, they selected WANdisco
Fusion over the backup and recovery solutions offered by the
leading Hadoop distribution vendors, as well as those from
several major hardware vendors that not only couldn't match its
capabilities, but also came with much greater cost and
complexity.

The telecommunications customer, one of Europe's leading mobile
carriers, initially selected WANdisco's big data technology for
continuous availability in 2013 after moving to Hadoop to
streamline their service activation system, previously spread
across multiple applications and databases. Recently, they
expanded the system to new data centers and migrated to a new
Hadoop distribution, leveraging Fusion to avoid the downtime and
business disruption these activities normally entail. After
migration, they found WANdisco Fusion's platform independent
architecture and ability to scale enabled it to work seamlessly
in their new environment.

'These customers operate in regulatory and business settings with
the most demanding SLAs for availability, scalability and
performance,' said David Richards, CEO and co-founder at
WANdisco. 'They also want flexible, future-proof solutions that
impose minimal administrative overhead and avoid vendor lock-in,
given the dynamic nature of the Hadoop market. Their decision to
purchase after extensive evaluation is further proof that
WANdisco Fusion is the only solution available that not only
meets, but exceeds large enterprise requirements for moving
Hadoop from the lab into full-scale production.'

Both companies appreciate WANdisco Fusion's flexible,
easy-to-deploy architecture that eliminates Hadoop downtime and
data loss, and enables them to avoid Hadoop vendor lock-in.
WANdisco Fusion can be implemented across mixed storage
environments, including Oracle BDA, IBM Big Insights (NYSE: IBM),
Cloudera, Hortonworks (NASDAQ: HDP), EMC (NYSE: EMC) and MapR.
WANdisco recently announced Fusion support for replication to the
most widely used cloud storage platforms for migration to cloud,
hybrid burst to cloud and streaming backup without downtime or
disruption. With all platforms, the functionality is the same.
