"Data compression software has the potential to address some of the most significant data storage, computing and sharing challenges facing biomedical researchers," the NIH said in its announcement.

IBM will acquire Storwize, a developer of real-time data compression technology, under a deal IBM disclosed late Thursday. IBM did not disclose the financial terms of the acquisition, which it expects ...

Compressing the data moving back and forth is one way to do that. NetsEdge Research Group recently released a new study that takes a look at that developing market. Peter Christy, co-founder of ...

The rapid expansion of data volumes in modern applications has intensified the need for efficient methods of storing and retrieving information. Contemporary research in data compression focuses on ...

In the big data era, algorithms for efficient data compression have become increasingly crucial, both for transmission over the network and long-term archival. Most traditional compression techniques, ...

Israeli startup, Onavo, was acquired by Facebook (NASDAQ: FB), according to an Onavo blog post Monday. Onavo makes data compression software, which Facebook said it planned to use in promoting the ...
