Published on 2021-09-07

Recently, GBase 8s V8.8, a secure transactional database management system from General Data Technology (GBase), successfully completed compatibility testing and certification with Cashway Technology Co., Ltd. (Cashway)’s CPV Integration Platform (CIS@CPVIntegration) and VTM Manager (VTMManager). After rigorous joint testing, the products adapted seamlessly, demonstrated full mutual compatibility, and ran stably. This successful integration marks the first step in their collaboration and the beginning of their partnership in driving IT application innovation within the banking sector.

Headquartered in Tianjin, Cashway is a financial technology enterprise integrating R&D, manufacturing, sales, and services for financial self-service equipment. It is a high-tech enterprise, a software company, and is listed on the main board of the Shanghai Stock Exchange. As a leading provider of smart banking solutions in China, Cashway is committed to delivering a full range of intelligent products, technologies, and services—covering cash, non-cash, and payment security—required for the transformation from traditional banking to smart banking. Through an operating model that combines smart products, advanced technology, and premium services, Cashway meets customers’ diverse, customized needs in building and operating smart banks. It helps realize the intelligent transformation of bank branches, effectively reduces operational costs, enhances user experience and service levels, expands business channels, and improves operational efficiency. Cashway has been qualified as a supplier for all large state-owned banks and national joint-stock commercial banks, and provides products and services to over 30 provincial rural credit cooperatives and more than 100 city commercial banks, holding an industry-leading market share in China.

The certified CPV Integration Platform (CIS@CPVIntegration) is developed using Cashway’s next-generation Java development platform and adopts a front-end and back-end separation model. The front end is built through configuration-based custom H5 page components, while the back end uses a microservices architecture supporting distributed deployment. It consolidates the traditionally separate ATMC, ATMP, and ATMV systems into a unified deployment, unifying basic data and business functions through microservices.

VTM Manager (VTMManager) is a comprehensive management platform for bank self-service equipment, featuring device monitoring, version management, remote control, fault maintenance, statistical data analysis, and asset management. It helps customers enhance the management of bank self-service devices from three perspectives—monitoring, management, and operations—reducing the management costs arising from the expansion of self-service devices and fully leveraging the role of bank self-service channels.

Founded in 2004, GBase (General Data Technology) has consistently pursued independent innovation, with full control over its core technologies and underlying source code. It has built a data product portfolio and service solutions covering the full data management lifecycle and the entire technology stack. Today, GBase is one of the few independent database vendors in China that focuses on database R&D and has achieved large-scale deployments in the financial and telecom sectors.

The certified GBase 8s V8.8 secure database management system is a mature, stable, 100TB-class financial-grade security database with fully independent intellectual property rights. It features high-availability solutions such as shared storage clusters and ultra-long-distance disaster recovery clusters, supporting active-active and three-site disaster recovery deployments. The product meets B2 (GB/T 20273 Level 4) security standards, supports Chinese national cryptographic algorithms, and is compatible with international database standards and interfaces including SQL92/99, ODBC, JDBC, and ADO.NET. GBase 8s is ideal for OLTP scenarios, including mission-critical core business systems in finance and telecom, information systems requiring high security in sectors such as public security, government, and defense, as well as operational and management information systems for large enterprises. It can replace mainstream international databases and shared storage clusters in over 80% of use cases.

After this successful mutual certification, GBase and Cashway can carry out further cooperation in the banking sector, replacing foreign databases amid the drive to replace legacy foreign IT infrastructure (de-IOE). As both are Tianjin-based companies, Cashway’s Executive Vice President Zhang Yunfeng led a team to visit GBase in July this year. This powerful partnership marks the first step in their collaboration. We believe there will be an even broader scope for cooperation in the banking sector in the future, providing more reliable industry solutions for users.
