Near Infinity

NIC+Big Data

Near Infinity engineers have years of experience developing, deploying, operating and evolving some of the Government’s most successful cloud-based, big data entity analytic capabilities.

In 2008 we kicked off our first big data project, long before big data buzzwords became commonplace. We saw the potential in the technology, and we’ve focused our attention and training dollars on learning the hardware and software associated with big data, cloud computing and related technologies. This has enabled our teams to address one of today's most pressing issues, customers who have accumulated massive amounts of data and need to make it accessible and meaningful to their business or organization in order to meet demanding mission objectives.
