We specialize in the creation of native mobile applications and mobile websites supported on all the popular platforms and devices including iOS, Android, BlackBerry and Windows Phone.

Mobile websites embrace fully responsive design and are created using only the latest and best technologies available such as HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, jQueryMobile, Tera-WURFL, and more to support for the full spectrum of handset devices available from low-end feature phones to high-end smartphones.


Iminsys
Data Science

We also specialize in analyzing a clients persistence frameworks with special attention to:

  • What ORM frameworks are used if any.
  • Custom persistence or ORM framework analysis
  • Normalization levels of relational databases
  • Query optimization
  • Traversal optimization
  • Lazy and eager loading
  • Domain model characteristics
  • Caching

Benchmarking is always a key priority for our clients. Questions asked are:
  • What is the performance of Hibernate with MySQL or Hibernate with PostgreSQL? 50GIG vs 500GIG vs 1T vs 100T and higher.
  • What is the performance of Hibernate with MySQL vs MongoDB with Spring Data?
  • Is relational the way to go? Or NoSql? Or an Object Database? Or a Column Store? Parallel Database?
  • Which databases integrates with sending raw data to Hadoop Clusters?
  • Which databases utilizes compression and why?

Finally we can also perform the following investigations:
  • Hardware Level: Hard disk types and their caches, RAID settings, etc.
  • Operating System Level: ext3 vs ext2 with PostgreSQL/MySQL, I/O scheduler levels, memory and CPU raw transfer speeds (baseline), raw disk transfer speeds, etc
  • Database Level: cache sizes, transaction settings, rollback options, etc
