Big Data Customer Win

Consumer data business dunnhumby adopts WANdisco Big Data solution

WANdisco (LSE: WAND) is pleased to announce that dunnhumby, the world's leading customer science company, has selected WANdisco's Big Data solution to support retail customer analysis. The resulting new subscription for WANdisco's Non-Stop Hadoop has

a value of approximately $475,000 over a three-year term.

dunnhumby pioneered retail customer analysis with Tesco Clubcard data. Today it is using Hadoop to analyse and apply insights from 700 million shoppers, enabling consumer brands

to personalise their offerings.

Following the completion of a successful production trial establishing continuously available data and a dramatic reduction in analytics processing times, dunnhumby has adopted Non-Stop Hadoop as part of its standard enterprise Hadoop architecture in live production.

This deployment is integrated with Oracle's Big Data Appliance server infrastructure and is the first one to result from WANdisco's partnership with Oracle, announced on 17 July 2014.

David Richards, WANdisco Chief Executive, adds:

"Adoption of our Big Data solution by the pioneer of retail customer analysis is a great endorsement for our Non-Stop Hadoop product. I expect dunnhumby to make greater use

of WANdisco technology as it expands the scope of its new Hadoop infrastructure."
