WANdisco wins $3m health insurance contract in US

WANdisco, the Sheffield-headquartered big data specialist, has secured its largest ever cloud contract with a US health insurer.

The three-year agreement is valued at $3m and will see the health insurer deploy WANdisco’s patented Big Data and Cloud product, WANdisco Fusion.

The health insurer will start utilising Fusion for on-premise and hybrid cloud use cases. This contract leverages WANdisco’s co-sell relationship with Microsoft as the health insurer looks to move data to the Azure cloud.

The health insurer has major data requirements across its 22,000 employees and 15 million members.

Both hybrid-cloud and cloud migration are LiveData use cases where, in order to take advantage of the significant benefits of cloud, customers must be able to move data without interruption to business operations.

WANdisco Fusion allows organisations to move large volumes of data whilst meeting regulatory requirements.

David Richards, CEO and chairman of WANdisco, said: “I am delighted to announce our largest ever cloud deal. This reflects our continued focus upon predictable recurring revenues.

“The $3m contract initially spans three years, but there is significant potential to expand this further to meet their developing data requirements This contract illustrates the significant traction we are gaining in healthcare and other key industries. Our pipeline continues to grow, and we remain confident and excited about our future.”
