Why ironArray
The ironArray advantage
We are the open-source team behind tools like Blosc2, Caterva2, PyTables, and NumExpr. That gives us unusual depth across storage, computation, and transmission.
Core strengths
Expertise across the full data pipeline
Efficient Storage
Advanced Blosc compression reduces storage footprint, hardware needs, and operating cost.
Accelerated Computation
Modern Blosc2 formats and compiled backends keep computations fast, even when memory is constrained.
Rapid Transmission
Caterva2 enables fast remote access to datasets stored on-premises, in the cloud, or on local systems.
How we work
Client-focused and open-source minded
Client-Centric Solutions
We do not force one-size-fits-all designs. We build around your actual environment, whether it is a data center, a research workflow, or an embedded system.
Open-Source Sustainability
Partnering with us supports the long-term health and evolution of the tools your business depends on.
Integrated Optimization
We design storage, computation, and transmission as one system so the full workflow becomes faster and easier to operate.
Testimonials
What collaborators say
"The ironArray team has made exceptional contributions to the photon and neutron user communities... Their expertise in developing tailored compression methods has significantly enhanced our data management capabilities."
Nicolas Soler, Head of Scientific Data Management at ALBA synchrotron
"The amount of feature completeness, integration with state-of-the-art data containers, robustness and speed makes Blosc2 a prime tool to use in new projects."
Peter Steinbach, Team Lead Helmholtz AI Consulting for Matter Research
"The MAX IV Laboratory deeply values not only the exceptional expertise of the ironArray team and the robustness of the Blosc compression platform but also their dynamic attitude and flexibility."
Zdenek Matej, MAX IV Laboratory Scientific Software Coordinator
