Deterministic compression for structured cold-storage data.

Powered by N-Code

  • Reliably increase compression ratios by up to two orders of magnitude on most structured datasets

  • Decode latency comparable to existing formats

  • Integration with common tabular storage formats (Parquet, Delta, Avro)

  • Graceful fallback to standard formats; worst-case behavior matches existing baselines.

No Vendor Lock-in

Basel is opt-in by design and minimally disruptive to existing storage workflows.

Transparent Pricing

Our licenses are priced as a percentage of realized storage savings.

If no savings are achieved, no fees are incurred.

Description & Product Scope

    • Archive and Cold-Storage Tiers

    • Large, Structured Tabular Datasets

    • Infrequently Accessed Data

    • Cost-Dominated Storage Environments

    • Slow Encode Times

    • Highly uncorrelated or noisy datasets can yield poor compression ratios

    • Requires basic schema identification for each dataset

      • Best results are achieved when dimensional or categorical fields are explicitly defined

    • Compute resources require a minimal GPU for bulk operations

      • Requirements are modest: Entry-level GPUs achieve parallelism at scale.

      • Hardware requirements are noted here.

    • Serves as a compression layer

    • Opt-in to use; invisible otherwise.

    • Lossless and deterministic

    • Additive to existing storage stacks

    • Not a database or generic storage container

    • Not a query engine

    • Not a data transformation platform

    • Lossless Reconstruction

    • Deterministic Output

    • Self-Contained Compressed Partitions

    • No Impact on Decode Correctness

  • Our product suite is deployed selectively in enterprise environments - prioritizing those with major storage capacity and demands.

    Engagement typically begins with a limited technical evaluation focused on archive-tier datasets.

    If value can be created on small pilot datasets, then a custom license can be determined based on storage volume, throughput, and SLA requirements.
