Multi-year contract win with global telecoms firm

The Client has committed to migrating a minimum of 5 petabytes ("PB") over a maximum term of 5 years

Significant opportunity for further consumption growth using WANdisco's LiveData Migrator for Azure

WANdisco (LSE: WAND), the LiveData company, has won a contract with the analytics division of one of the world's largest telecommunications companies ('the Client') to migrate analytical data to the Microsoft Azure cloud, worth a minimum of $1m over a maximum term of five years.

The Client is an existing customer of LiveData Plane and has now entered into a 'Commit to Consume contract to deploy WANdisco's LiveData Migrator for Azure (LDMA) to migrate business critical analytical data from an on- premise Vertica system to the cloud. WANdisco's unique technology was the only solution capable of moving the live data set to the cloud within Azure's ecosystem effectively and without disruption.

The agreement is an example of a 'Commit to Consume' contract and aligns revenue to the consumption of services, as is the standard in the cloud, enhancing the visibility of future revenues. The Client has committed to a minimum of 5PB over a maximum term of five years. This represents only a fraction of the Client's data estate and there is a significant opportunity for further consumption growth and commercial upside for WANdisco.

WANdisco CEO and Chairman David Richards, commented:

"We are extremely pleased to be extending our relationship with this key customer. Having already purchased a license for our LiveData Plane product, the unique capabilities of our products in dealing with data at scale were apparent. This led to a further use case and the desire to use our native service in the Azure Cloud, LiveData Migrator for Azure (LDMA). The customer's consumption of LDMA will become part of their monthly Azure bill, illustrating the simplicity of adding the service. We look forward to deepening our relationship further with the customer in the future."
