Joining Forces: GBASE and Huawei Storage Launch a Financial Core-Grade High-Availability Database Solution

On June 29, GBASE and Huawei Storage jointly released the "Financial Core-Grade High-Availability Database Solution". Based on a disaggregated compute and storage architecture with shared storage, leveraging Huawei OceanStor all-flash storage and GBASE's shared-storage database cluster GBase 8s, it delivers a high-performance, high-availability database solution that meets the requirements of core financial systems, accelerating the technological transformation of infrastructure in critical industries such as finance and telecommunications.

Gu Xuejun, Vice President of Huawei Data Storage Product Line, delivered a speech. Gu Xuejun stated that databases, as core enterprise applications, are vital infrastructure supporting the development of the digital economy. The financial industry has always been at the forefront of digital transformation. Both traditional core businesses and new internet-based financial services place higher demands on database performance and stability. The joint innovation between Huawei Storage and GBASE can, in terms of reliability, performance, and energy efficiency, take the lead in meeting the needs for core business transformation in the financial industry, accelerating the deployment of enterprise-grade core database modernization.
