Technical Outlook: GBase Big Data Analytics Products Achieve Compatibility Certification with Kylin Operating System

Recently, Tianjin General Data Technology Co., Ltd. and Tianjin Kylin Information Technology Co., Ltd. jointly completed compatibility certification testing of the GBase Analytical Data Management System and GBase Large-Scale Distributed Parallel Database Cluster System with the domestic Kylin server operating system. Test results show good compatibility between the products.

GBase (General Data Technology) is a leading Chinese database vendor. It was recognized as the "No.1 domestic database brand in China" in the annual China Platform Software Market Research Report by CCID Consulting and annual IDC research reports for three consecutive years from 2014 to 2016. Driven by the mission of "Empowering China with World-Class Homegrown Databases," GBase has developed a portfolio of independently developed and internationally competitive database and big data products including GBase 8a, 8t, 8m, 8s, 8d, and UP. It is the only Chinese database deployed at scale in core systems of high-end industries, serving over 10,000 users across finance, telecom, government, defense, and enterprise sectors.

GBase 8a is a database product for big data analytics, keeping pace with mainstream international counterparts in technology and market position. Built on massively parallel processing, columnar storage, high compression, and intelligent indexing, it meets the growing needs of data-intensive industries for data analysis, data mining, data backup, and ad hoc queries.

Tianjin Kylin Information Technology Co., Ltd. is a state-owned IT company established with the support of China Electronics Corporation (CEC), the National University of Defense Technology (NUDT), and the Tianjin Municipal Government. It is a leader in domestically developed and controllable operating systems in China and one of the key enterprises in Tianjin's strategy to build an independent and controllable industrial chain and to transform and upgrade the electronics and information industry.

Targeting domestic IT infrastructure platforms represented by Phytium processors, Tianjin Kylin has developed and promoted Kylin operating system, Kylin Cloud, Kylin Big Data Platform Management System, and their derivatives. It also provides adaptation and integration services for over a hundred mainstream hardware, database, middleware, cybersecurity, application software, and system integration vendors in China. Multiple official versions of Kylin server and desktop operating systems V4 series have been released. Among them, Kylin server OS has passed the structured protection level 4 security test by China's public security authorities — the highest security level for an operating system in China — and is widely deployed in national defense, confidential government, public services, electric power, finance, and other critical sectors.

The completion of compatibility certification testing between GBase big data analytics products and the Kylin operating system fully demonstrates the synergy and increasing maturity of China's IT ecosystem, jointly providing a secure, reliable, independently developed, and controllable core support system for national information security.
