“In addition, we launched LiveData Migrator on AWS and became the only vendor to achieve Migration Competency status, positioning WANdisco as the global standard for cloud migration to AWS. These milestone achievements position WANdisco for significant scalable growth in the 2021 financial year.

“WANdisco is uniquely positioned to enable the next generation of machine learning and artificial intelligence in the cloud.

“Our partnerships with the major cloud vendors and solutions like Databricks and Snowflake provides a growing opportunity to become integral to the entire lifecycle of analytical data.

“In the 2021 financial year, the business is focused on accelerating the conversion of the 200-300 exabyte cloud migration market identified by Microsoft by continuing to expand our partner relationships and delivering on our pipeline.

“WANdisco enters the 2021 financial year with an unparalleled solution, deeply embedded into the world’s largest cloud ecosystems and with the experience and financial platform to convert on a vast market opportunity. With these drivers and the group’s current pipeline and visibility, we remain confident in our ability to achieve at least $35m in revenues in the 2021 financial year.”
