The first phase of the relationship will see GM committing to moving at least 3.3 Petabytes ( the equivalent of 3,300 Terabytes) of data with a contract value of over $400,000. An announcement from WANdisco said the deal signified a “significant working relationship” with GM.

The deal comes as WANdisco continues its attempt to recover from a number of controversies that have blighted the firm in recent months.

In April, the Financial Conduct Authority announced an investigation into WANdisco after the firm suspended its shares on the Alternative Investment Market. This followed WANdisco announcing that it had discovered “potentially fraudulent irregularities” in its accounting.

Earlier this month, the firm also called on its former bosses to repay almost £650,000 in bonuses which they received last year before the company became embroiled in a financial scandal.
