History

The name WANdisco is an acronym for wide-area network distributed computing. WANdisco was co-founded in 2005 by David Richards and Dr. Yeturu Aahlad. They grew the company without raising any private equity, venture capital, or angel funding and led it to a successful IPO on the London Stock Exchange on June 1, 2012.

In 2012, WANdisco acquired AltoStor and entered the big data market with its non-stop Hadoop product.[3]

Share suspension

On March 9, 2023, the company's shares were suspended from trading in London, citing potentially fraudulent irregularities.[4] The company said it expected revenue for 2022 could be as low as $9 million compared to its previous expectation of $24 million.[4]
