This task will research and deliver solutions to 4 BIGDATA technology areas: (1) Rapid Science Algorithm Integration -- automatically and efficiently integrating IDL, Python, Matlab, etc. algorithms in the U.S. National Climate Assessment and into projects using the Common Astronomical Software Applications (CASA) software from NRAO; (2) data movement - exploring the tradeoffs between the architectural propertie and scalability properties of 4-5 modern data movement technologies under realistic scenarios for the U.S. NCAs and for the SKA; (3) cloud computing - for processing and for storage of Earth and astronomical data; (4) automatic and rapid data/metadata extraction from file formats - the use and application of technologies for automatically extracting text and metadata from science data formats.

Listed on TechPort itself — the most direct way to ask about this specific project.
This is a mature technology (TRL 7+) — the realistic path in is usually NASA's Technology Transfer Program: licensing an existing NASA patent, or a Space Act Agreement to use NASA facilities/expertise directly. NASA also runs a startup licensing program with no upfront fee for companies formed to commercialize a specific NASA technology.
None of these are guaranteed paths for this specific project — TechPort itself doesn't have an "apply" button. Reaching out to the contact(s) above with a specific question is usually the fastest way to find out what's actually open.
