Focus on Innovation, Driving a Digital Intelligent Future | GBase Showcases at the China IT Application Innovation Summit
On the morning of May 19, 2023, the parallel forum of the 7th World Intelligence Congress — the China IT Application Innovation Industry Development Summit — was held at the Bolonghu Science and Technology Park in the High-tech Zone. Lian Maojun, Member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Tianjin Municipal Committee and Secretary of the CPC Binhai New Area Committee; Wei Guangyong, Deputy Director of the Tianjin Municipal Development and Reform Commission; Zhang Guihua, Deputy District Head of Binhai New Area; Xia Qinglin, Party Secretary of the High-tech Zone Party Committee and Director of the Management Committee; leaders of the Information Technology Application Innovation Working Committee; and leaders from the Tianjin Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology, the Municipal Bureau of Commerce, and other departments attended the event. At the summit, GBase officially launched innovative IT application innovation database products and delivered a keynote speech titled “Focus on Innovation, Driving a Digital Intelligent Future”.
The event invited nearly 300 participants, including responsible leaders from various commissions, offices, and bureaus, representatives from IT application innovation and technology enterprises, and journalists. It focused on the theme “New Visions, New Opportunities, New Challenges — The High-Quality Development Path of the IT Application Innovation Industry in the New Intelligent Era”, presenting an international, intelligent, and achievement-oriented showcase.
At the summit, GBase launched two innovative IT application innovation database products: the multimodal and multi-state distributed database GBase 8c and the cloud-native data warehouse GCDW. Chen Mingzhi, General Manager of the North China Marketing Department, delivered a keynote speech titled “Focus on Innovation, Driving a Digital Intelligent Future”.
Chen Mingzhi noted that database systems are among the most complex and critical foundational software in modern information systems. The database industry is currently facing unprecedented development opportunities. China's national policy of achieving self-reliance and controllability has driven continuous market expansion. Advances in hardware, such as CPUs and memory, provide greater possibilities for database design and continuous performance optimization. In 2022, China's database market reached 38.2 billion yuan, and the total market is expected to approach the 100 billion yuan mark by 2026.
Seizing these market opportunities, GBase has established a development strategy of leveraging specialized products to support target market segments. Building on its foundation in traditional relational databases, the company has developed four GBase database products, centered on four key pillars: DBaaS, High Elasticity, Strong Consistency, and Data Warehouse, to address diverse scenarios. Through its sustained focus on specialized products, GBase has secured a leading position in niche markets.
Currently, the Binhai High-tech Zone is concentrating efforts on building the “China IT Innovation Valley”. As a Tianjin-based IT innovation enterprise, GBase will focus on core database technology R&D, leverage the innovation platforms in the zone, and actively support enterprises in Tianjin and across China in integrating digital transformation with IT application innovation upgrades.
GBase 8c: Multimodal Multi-state Distributed Database
Based on openGauss, GBase 8c is a multimodal and multi-state distributed database that supports row storage, column storage, in-memory storage, and various deployment modes including standalone, active-standby, and distributed. It delivers high performance, high availability, elastic scalability, and robust security. It can be deployed on physical servers, virtual machines, containers, private clouds, and public clouds, providing secure, stable, and reliable data storage and management services for core systems in key industries, internet business systems, and government and enterprise systems.
GCDW: Cloud-native Data Warehouse
GCDW is a massively parallel processing (MPP) elastic cloud data warehouse based on columnar storage, designed for massive distributed processing. It supports both on-premises deployment (with a compute-storage separation model in private clouds) and cloud deployment. Its disaggregated compute-storage architecture allows independent and unlimited scaling of compute and storage resources. GCDW is ideal for analytical big data platforms, comprehensive BI systems, data warehouses, and data marts, fulfilling users’ cloud data warehousing requirements.
