9livesdata

9livesdata, LLC is an R&D company delivering advanced software research and development services to international clients. We are responsible for millions of lines of enterprise-quality code which is used by thousands of companies world-wide. Our current clients come from the USA, Japan and Germany. Our broadly defined area of expertise includes storage and file systems, big data, clouds, networking, machine learning and computer vision. We have significant experience with highly-scalable and highly-resilient distributed systems. We cover full software lifecycle from requirements gathering, research and prototyping to software architecture design, system development with quality assurance, deployment and support. Please see our expertise leaflet at http://bit.ly/2OZIL4m The systems we work on are usually targeted at enterprises. The primary example is NEC HYDRAstor, the most scalable and the fastest backup storage. The high quality of our code is built in from the start - the systems we helped design and develop store exabytes of data without a single bit lost. The defect rate measured over large code systems is about 0.27 defect per KLOC . The company is independently-owned and staffed with 75+ highly skilled consultants holding advanced CS degrees. Unlike many other consulting IT companies, we value quality over quantity both in respect to hiring and projects. We seek engagements that are not routine, but instead demand creativity and ingenuity. Our strong background in algorithms design and evaluation lets us produce original research results. Frequently, during an engagement we produce an important intellectual property for our clients, as documented by multiple US patents - see 9livesdata.com/patents ; as well as scientific publications in the most prestigious journals and conferences - see http://9livesdata.com/publications 9livesdata office location is in Warsaw, Poland at the NASK office sitting literally over Kabaty metro station.
