GBASE Named to 2022 China Cloud Database Ranking

On March 3, 2023, the "2022 China Cloud Database Ranking" jointly published by Internet Weekly (Chinese Academy of Sciences), Deben Consulting, and eNet Research Institute was officially announced. GBASE's cloud-native data warehouse GCDW is honored on the list.

In September 2020, Snowflake went public, with its market cap once reaching hundreds of billions of US dollars, sparking boundless aspirations for countless software companies. It also injected a strong dose of confidence into GBASE, which was exploring the cloud-native data warehouse path.

As one of China's earliest developers of column-store databases, GBASE pioneered the distributed analytical database cluster GBase 8a MPP Cluster. Through three major evolutionary stages—column-store database, MPP + column-store database, and Logical Data Warehouse (LDW)—GBase 8a has become a leader in China's data warehousing field, consistently featured in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for data warehouse solutions, and has achieved the highest single-node computing power and best loading performance in TPC-DS benchmarks. In terms of commercial maturity, it has been deployed at top-tier financial and telecom customers such as Agricultural Bank of China and China Mobile, making it the most widely adopted and case-rich domestic data warehouse.

With the continuous evolution of cloud computing technologies, moving to the cloud became a new direction for GBASE, giving rise to the cloud-native data warehouse GCDW.

GBase Cloud Data Warehouse (GCDW) is a cloud-native data warehouse product independently developed by GBASE. It is a multi-instance elastic cloud data warehouse supporting both cloud and on-premises deployment, with elastic resource scaling capabilities. It is suitable for analytical big data platforms, comprehensive BI systems, data warehouses, and data mart systems.

Currently, GCDW is available on Alibaba Cloud Compute Nest for free trial. Additionally, on March 8 (this Wednesday) at 3:00 PM, GBASE's official livestream will broadcast a live tutorial on creating and using the GCDW cloud data warehouse.

Gartner notes that database market revenue accounts for 18.4% of the total software market, with 68% of that contributed by cloud databases. As the cloud era arrives and the large-scale domestic substitution trend expands, cloud databases have become a new choice for enterprise digital transformation. GBASE, an innovative database company, has cultivated the seeds of innovation through two decades of deep technological cultivation. Riding the wave of IT application innovation, these seeds have soared far and wide, blooming into lush cloud-native flowers. This marks a new chapter for GBASE, a cloud-native database provider.
