Grant: Applied Research and Development Grants - Level 1

ZoneTI Inc. is a Quebec-based company offering a wide range of products and services in all areas of IT management and digital infrastructure. In order to significantly reduce the memory space allocated by hosting its customers' video data, the company is currently working on the development of image compression codes. This development requires the use of image compression codes based on open source libraries incorporating a WebP or WebM image compression methodology. This open source image compression code will not only substantially reduce operating costs, but will also process data at the PetaByte level without creating a computational bottleneck in the company's servers while being compatible with Blockchain transactions for data security. To do this, ZoneTI is seeking the expertise of C2T3, developed over the past 11 years in the field of interconnected objects, particularly in video data compression, for a technological feasibility study that meets these specifications. For ZoneTI, this project is an important vector of innovation and growth designed to position itself competitively in the market of massive data management on servers at the cutting edge of technology for the storage, processing and secure backup of data from the Internet of Things.
