GBASE’s China-developed database successfully adopted by a city commercial bank in Guangdong Province

Recently, GBASE General Data Technology’s database was successfully applied in the “New Regulatory Statistical Data Submission System” project of a city commercial bank in Guangdong Province. The project adopts a full-stack domestically-developed ecosystem, selecting GBASE’s distributed logical data warehouse GBase 8a as the database cornerstone, meeting the bank’s regulatory reporting and other requirements while helping the bank achieve this important milestone in IT Application Innovation and domestic technology adoption.

Project Background

In recent years, regulatory authorities have imposed more stringent, standardized, and comprehensive requirements on the banking industry, particularly with the continuous expansion of regulatory reporting data scope and rising data quality demands. Financial institutions face diverse and complex regulatory data categories, increasingly granular reporting granularity, and tight submission deadlines. The growing sophistication of business operations places higher demands on the underlying domestic database. Actively implementing new development concepts and serving the new development paradigm, the bank accelerates its transformation towards IT Application Innovation and domestic technology adoption, enhances its ability to serve the real economy, and launches the construction of a new regulatory statistical data submission system to meet its evolving business development strategy. For database selection in this project, GBASE’s distributed logical data warehouse GBase 8a serves as the database foundation.

Full-Stack Domestically-Developed Solution

During project implementation, the project team fully considered domestic compatibility requirements in technology selection, assisting the bank in completing this important practice of IT Application Innovation and domestic replacement. As the technical cornerstone supporting future business development, this project injects new vitality into the bank’s domestic ecosystem. The software system uses Yinfeng Xinrong’s New Regulatory Statistics Data Submission Platform, the database uses GBase 8a, the middleware uses TongWeb 7.0, and the operating system uses Kylin OS, with support for AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Windows, and other similar domestically-developed products. At the same time, the solution can cover multiple business environments such as public cloud, private cloud, hybrid cloud, physical machines, and virtual machines. The regulatory system adopts an intelligent and user-friendly design philosophy, delivering a compliant, secure, and efficient regulatory reporting platform for management and business personnel.

GBASE’s Practice and Action

Having specialized in the database field for nearly 20 years, GBASE has always been at the forefront of domestic databases, closely following policy trends, deeply analyzing customer pain points, and promptly identifying market demands. It continuously evolves its database product portfolio to meet the latest requirements of financial core business systems. In the “New Regulatory Statistical Data Submission System” project of this city commercial bank in Guangdong Province, GBASE leveraged in-depth interpretation of regulatory policies and comprehensive data analysis as the entry point, using the distributed logical data warehouse GBase 8a to build a data mart. This not only improved data quality but also enhanced the effectiveness of the regulatory reporting system, safeguarding financial institutions’ regulatory reporting.

Data architecture and data storage methods are critical factors that determine the efficiency, security, and stability of business systems. GBASE strictly follows the bank’s data standards for implementation, supports full data lifecycle management, and features comprehensive data backup and data cleanup mechanisms to ensure correctness, integrity, consistency, security, and auditability during data transmission and storage. For massive data volumes, technologies such as read-write separation, database and table sharding, and in-memory data processing are adopted to ensure high processing efficiency.

Distributed Logical Data Warehouse GBase 8a

GBase 8a is a high-performance, domestically-developed distributed logical data warehouse independently created by GBASE, targeting massive data query and analysis applications. It meets the growing data storage, management, and processing needs — such as data querying, statistics, analysis, mining, and backup — of various data-intensive industries, and can serve as the underlying database for data warehouse systems, BI systems, and decision support systems.

The product has been deployed at scale in industries with massive business data, such as finance, telecommunications, and energy, and has demonstrated outstanding performance in the business analytics and business intelligence market.

Extreme Performance

• GBase 8a achieved a QphDS score of 8,944,478 in the authoritative TPC-DS benchmark, using the fewest test nodes, ranking first in average per-core performance, and delivering optimal loading performance;
• It passed the foundational capability assessment of the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) with full marks on a 4,096-node cluster.
