Knowledge infrastructure
Better decisions, faster, at any scale
Black Forest is Craxel's patented knowledge infrastructure. Data becomes immediately queryable at ingest, so decision makers and AI work from a picture that is current, at a fraction of the compute.
O(1)
Patented breakthrough. Access cost independent of data set size.
Up to 90%
Reduction in compute, OPEX and associated energy.
Billions
Of records ingested, queried and correlated in real time.
Who we are
A software company solving the problem underneath the problem
Craxel is a software company working on one of the hardest problems in computing: how to organize enormous volumes of data so that it can be found, connected and used at the speed decisions are made.
We are computer scientists and mathematicians. Rather than optimizing around the limits of fifty year old indexing, we went back to the algorithm and invented something new. That work is patented, it is in production, and it is the foundation of everything we build.
We work with organizations in financial services, technology, telecommunications, energy and critical infrastructure. What they share is not an industry, it is a data problem that conventional platforms can no longer solve affordably.

Organizing Information Using Hierarchical Data Spaces, the breakthrough behind O(1) indexing and searchable encryption.
Your data is growing. Your answers are getting slower.
Modern organizations generate extraordinary volumes of data from sensors, transactions, cyber telemetry, logistics platforms and intelligence sources, flowing continuously at machine speed.
Conventional architectures were built on indexes that slow down as data grows and ingest one record at a time. The result is fragmented, stale or inconsistent pictures, and decisions made without the full context.
One breakthrough changes the economics
Craxel invented and patented a hierarchy preserving probabilistic hash that delivers O(1) indexing. The cost of locating data is decoupled from the size of the data set, so performance stays constant however far your data grows.
Data is written to a precisely computed location rather than searched for, which means less compute, low latency access from low cost storage, and query cost proportional to the answers returned rather than the volume stored.
One platform, two layers
Black Forest is built as an onion. The database is the engine at the core. The knowledge infrastructure is the platform built around it. Both are open at every interface.
Black Forest Knowledge Infrastructure
Fused retrieval across knowledge graphs, vectors and unstructured content, with dashboards, native AI integration and container deployment.
Black Forest Database
A multi modal distributed OLTP engine holding SQL, graph, time series, spatial and vector data in a single index.
Wherever data outgrows the systems holding it
The problem Black Forest solves is not specific to one industry. Any organization whose data is growing faster than its ability to query it hits the same wall.
Financial services
Billions of interactions, connected
Fraud detection, risk, surveillance and customer intelligence across transactions and counterparties at market speed.
Artificial intelligence
Context models can trust
Selective, connected context for retrieval augmented generation, with provenance preserved so outputs can be traced.
Cybersecurity
Real time and forensic together
Correlate logs, alerts, identities and network telemetry as they arrive, with forensic analytics across years of history.
Life and health sciences
Research and patient data connected
Link genomic, clinical, trial and real world data across time, with provenance preserved so findings can be traced back to source.
Manufacturing
From production line to supply chain
Correlate production telemetry, quality records and supplier data for traceability, yield analysis and predictive maintenance.
Defense and space
Multidomain data, one picture
Fuse sensor, earth observation and mission data into a real time common picture, at petabyte scale and across security boundaries.
