At the recent JCON EUROPE 2026 Keynote—in front of an audience of over 1,000 developers, enterprise architects, and technology leaders – Markus Kett, CEO of Cyrock.AI, and Johann Strauß, CTO of AI Solutions at Dell, took the stage to announce a visionary collaboration. Cyrock.AI and Dell are coming together to combine pioneering open-source Java-native database engineering with world-class enterprise AI infrastructure. The goal? To unlock unprecedented breakthroughs in high-efficiency Enterprise AI, paving the way for Cyrock.AI’s groundbreaking platform to become accessible across the vast Dell customer ecosystem.
As Johann Strauß highlighted during the keynote, building next-generation enterprise applications requires navigating strict requirements regarding data privacy, European AI Act compliance, and infrastructure costs. Modern enterprise data environments are massive, often spanning multiple locations. Moving or replicating these massive data silos into traditional, highly monolithic vector databases is not only cost-prohibitive but also heavily strains traditional data centers. Furthermore, today’s advanced Graphic Processing Units (GPUs) consume significant amounts of power. When a system relies on slow data extraction, those GPUs spin idly, generating immense heat and wasting valuable energy while waiting for input. To bridge this gap, enterprises require a highly secure, ultra-fast long-term memory layer that keeps data exactly where it belongs – fully compliant with sovereign jurisdiction.
To answer this industry-wide challenge, Cyrock.AI introduces the Cyrock.AI Knowledge Fabric. Built on deep expertise with Java object graphs, EclipseStore, and Eclipse Data Grid, Cyrock.AI unifies vector search, graph traversal, and full-text search into an embedded, native environment. The collaboration focuses on integrating Cyrock.AI’s high-efficiency software with the Dell AI Infrastructure Stack. Key pillars of this alignment include:
Massive Cost Reductions: Cyrock.AI’s innovative architecture utilizes specialized, serverless-inspired „storage cells“ grouped on Kubernetes. Compiled natively using GraalVM, these components spin up and down in milliseconds. The result is a platform that cuts traditional enterprise infrastructure costs by up to 80% or, conversely, delivers up to five times more AI processing power for the same infrastructure investment.
Millisecond-Level Long-Term Memory: While Large Language Models (LLMs) operate beautifully as short-term processors, Cyrock.AI provides the deterministic, structured long-term memory. It allows multi-terabyte and petabyte-scale knowledge graphs to be traversed instantly, feeding hot data directly to GPUs at maximum speeds to minimize idle times.
Uncompromising Data Sovereignty: Running Cyrock.AI alongside Dell’s flexible compute, storage, and secure network segmentation enables enterprises to retain complete control over their entire stack. Intellectual property stays protected within the company’s chosen perimeter, seamlessly fitting into the strict corporate guidelines of regulated sectors like finance, healthcare, and defense.
The tech industry’s shift toward green infrastructure is no longer optional. Because of the tangible energy savings enabled by Cyrock.AI’s code efficiency and Dell’s dedication to co-marketing and optimizing hardware for sustainable AI architectures, the joint approach achieved early critical acclaim. During the event, both companies were proudly presented with the Sustainability AI Award by eco – Association of the Internet Industry (eco verband der Internetwirtschaft). This prestigious accolade highlights how optimizing software-hardware interactions can dramatically shrink the carbon footprint of heavy enterprise computing. Following the keynote, a packed panel discussion further explored the future of deterministic, auditable, and autonomous AI knowledge systems, sparking intense engagement from the JCON community.
By bringing Cyrock.AI’s pure Java software stack together with Dell’s global standard in enterprise hardware, the two companies are defining the blueprint for the future of green, compliant, and hyper-scalable enterprise AI.
We are incredibly excited about this shared journey with the team at Dell to bring high-performance, sustainable AI infrastructure to organizations worldwide.
