Innovation Is Our Commitment: GBase Shines at Data Technology Carnival

The 11th Data Technology Carnival (DTC), themed "Intelligence · Innovation · New Ecosystem — Data Drives Future, Ecosystem Co-creates Value", concluded successfully on December 23-24. General Data Technology Co., Ltd. (GBase) was invited to participate and shared insights on trending database technology topics online.

Supporting Multi-Cloud and Hybrid Cloud Strategies

GBase GCDW Cloud Logical Data Warehouse Provides a Fulcrum for Industry Digital Transformation

Facing six major challenges—lack of resource elasticity, complex data types, increasing workloads, higher data value, processing latency, and data security—how will the next-generation enterprise data warehouse evolve? Zhang Shaoyong, General Manager of the Data Intelligence Products Department at General Data Technology, delivered a brilliant speech titled "GBase GCDW Cloud Logical Data Warehouse Supports Lakehouse Integration for a Data-Driven Future" at the ecosystem integration sub-forum.

In the future, next-generation enterprise data warehouses will evolve toward cloud-native, distributed, converged, intelligent, real-time, and secure architectures. Logical data warehouses will also shift from heavy data collection to emphasis on "data correlation." The logical data warehouse recommended by Gartner—New Data Warehouse—possesses key capabilities of unification and integration, featuring massive, low-cost data storage; the ability to store data in raw format in a data lake; easy access to data in the data lake; and flexible, task-oriented data provisioning.

The GBase GCDW cloud logical data warehouse architecture is built on data virtualization and data federation, supporting data lakes, data warehouses, and data marts. It enables in-database machine learning and deep data mining via GBMLlib, efficient transparent data encryption, and dynamic data masking, while integrating information silos and real-time data ingestion.

In addition, GBase GCDW cloud logical data warehouse serves as a next-generation vectorized computing engine, featuring multi-instance deployment, logically unified but physically isolated virtual clusters, and support for lakehouse integration. Deployed in the cloud and offered as DaaS, it has achieved a perfect score in the database performance and foundational capability evaluation by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) with a record-breaking cluster size of 4,096 nodes. GBase 8a MPP also topped the TPC-DS benchmark with the fewest nodes, highest average computing power per core, and optimal loading performance.

A Decade of Accumulation: Sharpening the Sword

At the innovation application sub-forum, Zhang Yi, General Manager of the GBase 8c product line at General Data Technology, delivered a compelling presentation on "Distributed Database Practices."

GBase 8c is an enterprise-grade distributed transactional database product developed over a decade of persistent effort by General Data Technology. In the distributed transactional database evaluation conducted by CAICT, it achieved a perfect score in functional testing and passed performance testing with exceptional performance and high availability.

GBase 8c features strong stability, elastic scalability, online upgrades, and support for strongly consistent distributed transactions. Compatible with the IT application innovation ecosystem, it can be flexibly deployed across physical servers, virtual machines, containers, public clouds, and private clouds, providing diverse solutions for different application scenarios. The GBase 8c product family includes the database core, a general management platform, a data migration platform, a security management platform, and a management console, offering users one-stop services from installation and deployment to data migration and daily operation and maintenance.

As an enterprise-grade distributed transactional database, GBase 8c's adaptive transaction processing mechanism and high-performance distributed query engine deliver efficient data read and write capabilities in distributed environments. It supports disaster recovery schemes such as intra-city active-active and two-site three-center architectures, eliminates single points of failure globally, and achieves 99.999% high availability. Additionally, with global lock management, transaction state preservation, and other critical features, GBase 8c ensures self-healing capabilities in the event of system anomalies. Its elastic scalability flexibly addresses performance demands in extreme scenarios, while its grayscale release capability safeguards frequent application rollouts and rollbacks.

Leveraging industry-leading R&D advantages, GBase 8c delivers secure, stable, and reliable data storage and management services for core systems in critical industries, internet business systems, and government and enterprise business systems.

Technology continues to advance, and General Data Technology keeps innovating. Whether it is the GBase GCDW cloud logical data warehouse or the distributed transactional database GBase 8c, the company always focuses on real user needs, keeps pace with technological development, and continuously explores technological innovations. As a leading database provider, General Data Technology will strengthen collaboration with upstream and downstream partners in the industry chain to promote the flourishing development of China's big data ecosystem.
