The ironArray Advantage: Unrivalled Expertise

We are ironArray, the team of open-source developers behind industry-leading data tools like Blosc/Blosc2, Caterva2, PyTables, and NumExpr. As the authors and maintainers of these projects, we possess unique expertise in combining them to solve complex challenges across the three critical axes of your data workflow:

  • Efficient Storage: Leveraging advanced Blosc compression, we dramatically reduce your storage footprint, hardware requirements, and operational expenses.

  • Accelerated Computation: Utilizing high-performance compiled code backends and modern Blosc2 data formats, we accelerate computations of any scale, even under significant memory constraints.

  • Rapid Transmission: With Caterva2, we use Blosc compression to accelerate data transfer and provide streamlined remote access to datasets, whether they are stored on-premises, in the cloud, or on-disk.

Our Commitments​

Client-Centric Solutions: We reject "one-size-fits-all" approaches. Whether you operate large-scale data centers, real-time streaming services, or embedded systems, we design and implement bespoke solutions tailored to your unique environment.

Open-Source Sustainability: Partnering with us for support and consultancy is a direct investment in the long-term health and innovation of the open-source tools your business relies on.

Optimizing Your Data Pipeline​

Modern data pipelines are a complex interplay of storage, computation, and transmission. Optimizing the complete workflow requires an integrated infrastructure that expertly manages these interactions. ironArray is uniquely positioned to deliver these solutions. We build bespoke frameworks that accelerate performance, reduce costs, and provide a decisive competitive edge.
