LONDON (ShareCast) - Software company WANDisco has agreed a deal for its 'big data' solution to be marketed and sold to US government agencies.

The Sheffield-based company has teamed up with Carahsoft, which acts in the US as the master government aggregator for many of software vendors, to sell its WANdisco's Non-Stop Hadoop for Cloudera.

WANdisco Executive Chairman David Richards said this provided the company with "significant access to the US government market" for the only non-stop Hadoop provider working with Carahsoft.

Richards added: "WANdisco's solutions will add significant value for Carahsoft's US government agency customers by helping them to meet system availability, compliance, and audit requirements."

Carahsoft Chief Craig Abod added that meeting service-level agreements and achieving security and compliance requirements are high priorities for government institutions.

"With WANdisco's Non-Stop Hadoop Technology added to our offerings, our customers in the federal government will have easy access to technologies that will significantly improve the reliability of their critical Big Data systems," he said.

Shares in WANDIsco were up 1% to 1290p at 09:35 on Tuesday.
