LONDON (Alliance News) - WANdisco PLC said Tuesday it has signed a distribution agreement with Carahsoft Technology Corporation to support continuous availability of its products to US agencies.
The big data software firm said the deal will see its Non-Stop Hadoop for Cloudera product marketed and sold directly by Carahsoft to US federal agencies.

Meeting service level agreements, and achieving security and compliance requirements are high priorities for government institutions.
