WANdisco (LSE: WAND), the data activation platform, is pleased to announce that it has signed an initial agreement (the "Agreement") worth $6.6m with a European-based global telecommunications service provider (the "Client"). The Agreement is a one-off migration that provides for Internet of Things ('IoT') data that resides in the Client's data centre to be migrated to the cloud.
WANdisco was chosen due to its proven ability to migrate petabyte scale data. Once the migration is complete, it is expected that the Client will launch a range of IoT-related services.
With the proliferation of IoT devices, telecommunication service providers are increasingly seeing data as an important revenue opportunity. This industry vertical is a strategic target market for WANdisco with a healthy pipeline of further opportunities. The Company expects this industry to continue being a core and growing market for WANdisco.
David Richards, CEO and Chairman of WANdisco, commented:
"This is the third tier 1 global telecommunications company to choose WANdisco's solutions since the start of 2022, underpinning our unique ability to seamlessly and securely migrate large scale data from edge platforms to the cloud. As the Company has seen with other customers, WANdisco believes there is potential for significant expansion opportunities with this customer.
The IoT use case of moving data from edge platforms to the cloud, is continuing to drive a significant pipeline of opportunities for our business. Companies across multiple industry verticals face significant challenges in successfully executing this data movement and unlocking the full capabilities of the cloud. Our unique solutions and proven experience in the IoT market make us well placed to continue winning market share and supporting clients around the globe."
