Sheffield tech firm WANdisco has secured a £7.2m contract to provide data services to a global brand.
The data management and software specialist told the London Stock Exchange it has signed an initial agreement to provide a one-off migration of data from the unnamed client's European and Asian data centres to cloud providers. WANdisco told investors it was chosen for the work thanks to its ability to migrate huge petabyte scale data.
The contract involves moving data created by the clients manufacturing and management activities. WANdisco says the manufacturing sector has become a target market for its services and expects to see further sales in the space.
