SAN RAMON, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 09/05/13 -- WANdisco (LSE: WAND), a provider of high-availability software for global enterprises to meet the challenges of Big Data and distributed software development, announced it is an official sponsor of the UC Berkeley AMPLab, a five-year collaborative effort at UC Berkeley where Spark, Shark and Mesos have been developed.

WANdisco previously announced the integration of Spark and Shark into its certified Apache Hadoop binaries, delivering data processing speeds up to 100 times faster than MapReduce or Hive to any Hadoop-supported filesystem. WANdisco will continue to work closely with AMPLab on continued research into in-memory data storage for Hadoop.

"We are pleased with WANdisco's strong support of AMPLab as well as Spark and Shark," said Ion Stoica, co-director of AMPLab of UC Berkeley Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences. "Their participation helps with market validation, and our continued work will enable businesses to quickly deploy interactive data analytics on Hadoop."

"Berkeley AMPLab is at the forefront of Hadoop innovation and we're proud to be an official sponsor," said David Richards, CEO of WANdisco. "Spark and Shark allow users to improve the efficiency of their Hadoop deployments without the need for additional configuration or infrastructure. We look forward to further developments from AMPLab."
