ClearStory Data Epitomizes Strength of Apache Spark for Fast-Cycle Multi-Source Analysis at Spark Summit 2014

MENLO PARK, CA--(Marketwired - Jun 30, 2014) - ClearStory Data, the company that's bringing Data Intelligence to everyone, invites you to Spark Summit 2014 to learn more about how multi-source analysis is dramatically faster with Spark-based solutions like ClearStory Data.

ClearStory's solution has been natively integrated Spark from the start, recognizing the advantages of Spark while it was still just a project in Berkeley's AMPLab. The recent release of Spark 1.0 is further evidence that developments in Spark will accelerate large-scale diverse data analysis. ClearStory's participation and sponsorship of the Spark Summit offers attendees an opportunity to hear from the leading users of Spark about where it's heading and how to use Spark in a variety of applications.

"Spark 1.0 is a fantastic milestone for Spark developers and the community in general, and our several-year investment in Spark is evidence of its strength for fast processing of data at scale," said Vaibhav Nivargi, Technical Co-founder of ClearStory Data. "Spark 1.0 marks an important stage in its evolution, making imperative advancements for fast in-memory processing, especially given the increased urgency for enterprises to do fast analysis and discovery of diverse data."

"For the promise of big data to be realized, data processing needs the right framework to finally make diagnosis and discovery with large and numerous data sets easy," said Ion Stoica, CEO and Co-founder of Databricks, the company founded by the creators of Spark and leading Spark developments. "The ClearStory Data platform is built natively on Spark in order to attain raw speed for data harmonization at scale, empowering companies to interact and explore data at speeds previously not possible."
