SAN RAMON, CA --(Marketwired - October 08, 2015) -  WANdisco
(LSE: WAND) the leading provider of continuous-availability
software for global enterprises to meet the challenges of Big
Data, today announced that a leading 24-by-7 provider of
financial data, breaking news and expert analysis on business
sectors critical to the global economy, will use WANdisco Fusion(TM)
to deliver continuous availability and performance for its
predictive customer analytics applications built on the
Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP), the Hadoop big data software
platform provided by Hortonworks, Inc. (NASDAQ: HDP). These
applications enable the firm to make real-time decisions
regarding the most relevant information services to offer
subscribers, based on their profile and past behavior.

Many financial services firms find Hadoop to be the platform of
choice for consolidating subscriber data and mapping it to
portfolios of financial information services offerings. Other
critical requirements for financial service firms are real-time
simultaneous ingest and sharing of data across two locations with
continuous availability, to meet the round-the-clock needs of
customers. WANdisco Fusion, with its patented active-active
replication technology for Hadoop is the only viable solution
that meets these requirements.

Implementing predictive customer analytics applications on Hadoop
is a big step forward in improving the ability to offer the
timeliest and most relevant financial information services to its
subscribers. The other challenges faced by this firm revolved
around 24/7 availability and automated disaster recovery. Every
other solution they evaluated only partially met these
requirements, with downtime during upgrades. Something no
financial services firm can afford. With WANdisco Fusion, these
issues go away and they didn't have to compromise.

In addition to WANdiso Fusion's continuous availability and
performance, its flexible architecture eliminates vendor lock-in
and supports staggered upgrades of Hadoop across locations
without any interruption in operation. WANdisco Fusion can be
implemented across different versions of the same platform, as
well as mixed storage environments, including Oracle BDA,
Cloudera, Hortonworks (NASDAQ: HDP), and MapR.

'Real-time financial news and information is mission critical for
financial service providers and the organizations and people they
serve. The highest availability and performance requirements for
big data are paramount for success,' said David Richards, CEO and
Co-founder of WANdisco. 'Our customer wanted an adaptable,
future-proof solution to avoid proprietary lock-in. I'm very
pleased to make further traction into this space and offer them
precisely what they need with WANdisco Fusion.'
