GBase 8a MPP Cluster parallel database empowers the General Administration of Customs of China to build its core business big data platform.

In 2015, China witnessed a succession of major events: the Belt and Road Initiative was in full swing, the three major pilot free trade zones were fully launched, the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) became a global focus, and China's stock market experienced dramatic fluctuations. Meanwhile, the closely watched landscape of China's IT industry was undergoing profound changes. In recent years, hot topics such as big data, cloud computing, and IoT gained continuous momentum. Against this backdrop, as a leading Chinese database vendor, GBase continued to drive its growth in China’s big data market, achieving remarkable successes in both product technology and market position.
 

Recently, the GBase 8a MPP Cluster parallel database, with its strengths in product performance, service capabilities, and key project implementation experience, won the trust of end users and was successfully selected in the procurement project of the General Administration of Customs’ ‘Golden Customs Project’, becoming a benchmark for large-scale deployment of Chinese database software in China’s government sector. The General Administration of Customs’ Golden Customs Project is one of China’s earliest and most influential national e-government ‘Golden’ projects, serving as a model for IT construction across the government sector. The successful signing of this project marked a major breakthrough for GBase in the e-government sector, demonstrated its leading position in China’s big data field, and showcased the advantages that Chinese databases possess in product performance and in adapting to local customer needs.

GBase 8a MPP Cluster parallel database is a high-performance, cost-effective database product independently developed by GBase for massive data analysis. It meets customers’ growing needs for high-value, high-density data analysis, data mining, and data backup, and is an ideal database for modern data warehouses, data marts, and online data backup. Using x86 PC server systems, it effectively saves hardware investment costs. Based on breakthrough columnar storage, adaptive compression, and intelligent indexing technology, and employing a shared-nothing (SN) + MPP distributed flat architecture, it achieves petabyte-scale data storage and high-performance distributed data processing, enabling second-level query responses for complex queries on petabyte-scale data. In typical analytical applications, GBase 8a’s performance and cost-effectiveness far exceed those of traditional international database products.

In 2014, GBase released the new version of GBase 8a MPP Cluster parallel database. It has since been successfully deployed in key business systems of the Agricultural Bank of China, the cloud-based business analytics system of China Mobile, the national security audit platform, and the decision support system of the Golden Tax Phase III project, among other major initiatives. In its latest “2014 Database Market Tracker Report,” IDC noted that “the new version of GBase 8a MPP database cluster delivers performance and stability on par with international counterparts of its class, and can support enterprise-grade data warehouses and petabyte-scale industry big data applications.”
