Forging a New Chapter in Digital-Intelligent Finance! GBase Leads Financial Digital Transformation.

Continued procurement by large state-owned banks and joint-stock banks, consecutive wins of multi-million-level projects, annual growth of over 20 new financial customers, and large-scale deployment of full-stack database products... These are the impressive achievements GBASE has delivered in the financial market over the past two years, clearly reflecting its high 'gold' standard in financial services.

As digital technologies advance and the imperative for self-reliance in critical IT infrastructure hardware and software grows, financial institutions are accelerating digital transformation and embracing trends such as data-intelligent empowerment, open convergence, and comprehensive security and trust. As a core component of IT infrastructure, databases have always been a bottleneck in the financial industry's digital transformation and IT application innovation efforts.

Large-Scale Deployment Drives Digital-Intelligent Upgrade in Finance

The financial industry deals with vast and complex data, imposing stringent requirements on system security, reliability, and stability. Therefore, any hardware and software that meet these demands are naturally regarded as benchmarks by the market and the industry.

"If a database can meet the stringent requirements of the financial sector, is it not easier to replicate and promote in other industries?"

As a leading database vendor in China, GBASE identified high-end application scenarios—exemplified by the financial industry—as its primary focus over a decade ago, and has since been committed to delivering outstanding database products and solutions.

GBASE has built its core product competitiveness through independent R&D and innovation, meeting the business needs and security/controllability requirements of the financial sector. By iterating on real-world scenarios in leading banks, it continually refines product performance and availability. It then creates benchmark deployments at large financial institutions, replicating and extending them to small and medium-sized financial institutions and other verticals.

In recent years, GBASE has maintained a high growth trajectory in the financial industry.

Customer numbers continue to grow, adding an average of over 20 new financial customers per year. Coverage is steadily expanding from core institutions such as large state-owned banks and joint-stock banks to include city commercial banks and rural credit cooperatives. Deployment is rapidly advancing into core systems, moving from data warehouses and office systems to critical operations like clearing, credit, and internet banking. This broad customer base and deep industry penetration have laid a solid foundation for the influence of GBase databases in finance, earning the trust and acclaim of numerous clients.

Years of sustained focus on core database technologies and the demands of high-end customers have brought GBASE significant results. With exceptional performance, stability, and security, GBase databases have achieved remarkable outcomes and large-scale deployment in finance.

Having been refined in the complex application landscapes of finance, GBASE has accumulated a wealth of mature financial use cases and extensive implementation expertise. It has served over 150 financial institutions, deployed over 20,000 database instances, among which more than 10,000 run in core and general business systems, managing over 200 petabytes of data.

Full-Stack GBase Databases Empower Financial Business Innovation

Centralized or distributed? OLTP or OLAP? The choice of technical architecture and database category has always been a critical question for financial users.

In terms of architecture, financial databases feature a coexistence of centralized and distributed models. By product type, OLTP databases hold a large share, while demand for OLAP and HTAP continues to grow.

There is no one-size-fits-all answer to architecture or category—the right choice is what fits best. Financial institutions weigh factors such as future data growth, current system technology stacks, and in-house talent capabilities when selecting architecture and product types. When choosing a database, they focus on compatibility, performance, stability, as well as the vendor’s R&D strength, long-term commercial viability, ecosystem support, and technical services.

As an innovative company focused on database R&D for two decades, GBASE has built a full-lifecycle, full-tech-stack product portfolio and service solutions covering the entire data management lifecycle. Whether distributed or centralized, OLTP or OLAP, GBASE offers mature, corresponding products. Moreover, GBASE deeply understands the database security and production baselines of financial users, meets policy and regulatory requirements, and has earned user trust through long-term validation in financial scenarios. In addition, GBASE has introduced products such as cloud-native data warehouses and vector databases to meet the needs of financial customers in emerging areas like cloud computing, big data, and AI. The full-tech-stack, multi-category GBase product lineup provides financial institutions with a more diverse range of database choices.

GBASE’s leading technological innovation, extensive engineering experience, twenty-year commercial track record, and large-scale financial deployments give institutions confidence and peace of mind when choosing GBase databases.
