Software company secures sales agreement

Sheffield-based software development company WANdisco has entered into a non-exclusive Original Equipment Manufacturer sales agreement with a Dell Technologies business.

The business, Virtustream, will sell WANdisco’s patented Fusion  product as an embedded replication solution for hybrid cloud. Virtustream will use WANdisco Fusion as a replication platform worldwide. Fusion will be sold as a standard Virtustream product covering on-premises and cloud environments.

 David Richards, Chief Executive Officer of WANdisco, said: “This new OEM agreement firmly embeds Fusion into Virtustream’s offerings, which adds significant market reach and scale to our business as we benefit from Virtustream’s global sales reach as a part of the Dell Technologies family of businesses. 

“It also marks another significant milestone in our emergence as a critical part of the cloud and on-premises ecosystem and is another strong endorsement of WANdisco’s unique technology from one of the world’s leading technology players.”

 Rodney Rogers, Chairman and chief executive of Virtustream said: “When considering core technology partners for our next generation hybrid cloud solutions, WANdisco was an obvious choice.  This provides our customers with the ability to leverage best-in-class technology across both public and private cloud deployments to ensure that continuous and consistent data replication occurs seamlessly with no downtime.”
