When 520 Meets GBase Shared-Storage Cluster: Rock-Solid Marriage Records for a Lifetime Without Glitches.

“520” is an auspicious day for marriage registration and a peak period for marriage services. Today, marriage registration halls across the country are bustling, with couples beaming with happiness, witnessing their sweet love together.The GBase shared-storage cluster powers the national “520” marriage registration, ensuring steady data flow so happiness never lags.

ID card reading, face comparison, fingerprint collection, electronic signatures, archiving… The rollout of the Jinmin Project’s nationwide marriage registration management system has elevated marriage registration to a new level of intelligence and convenience.

Beyond marriage registration, behind systems for social assistance, elderly care, charitable fundraising, child welfare, and other civil affairs informatization, the GBase database is steadily supporting the delivery of civil affairs services through documents and workflows.

This is a gratifying achievement of the first phase of the Jinmin Project. As a major initiative by the Ministry of Civil Affairs to comprehensively enhance civil affairs informatization and better fulfill its service functions, Phase I of the Jinmin Project adopted a “Four Horizontals and Four Verticals” architecture. Following a “platform + application” concept, it leverages a large platform to support large systems, aggregate big data, and deliver extensive services. Here, the platform refers to the Jinmin Project Application Support Platform, comprising development tools, foundational software, and support systems. Database software, as a key component of the foundational software on the application support platform, is responsible for data storage, aggregation, governance, and providing external data services.

The civil affairs system processes a large volume of population-related business data, requiring the database to have excellent scalability and performance. At the same time, the civil affairs system touches on many aspects of people’s social lives, so business continuity must be guaranteed, making database stability a top priority. Moreover, the database is closely tied to business support and data protection; therefore, high availability is also a critical requirement in the construction of the civil affairs information system.

GBase 8s, independently developed by GBASE (General Data Technology), with its outstanding stability and performance advantages, has become the underlying database for the unified civil affairs information infrastructure. It has been fully deployed in the civil affairs government cloud center, providing foundational data services for the smooth implementation of the Jinmin Project and pushing civil affairs informatization to new heights.

In the civil affairs government cloud center’s internet zone and government extranet zone, GBase 8s databases are deployed on a cloud platform built on multiple physical servers, providing foundational support for data storage, online query, data processing, and data verification for the unified acceptance service system of the government cloud application platform and the social assistance business system.

Leveraging GBase’s unique dynamically scalable architecture, it offers high scalability, multi-process and multi-thread operation. Its high processing power, robust security, comprehensive transaction mechanisms, and advanced storage technologies meet the construction needs and performance requirements of the civil affairs system.

GBase 8s provides Shared-Storage Cluster (SSC) technology, realizing a centralized database architecture with separated storage and compute. Multiple compute nodes provide read/write capabilities, enhancing horizontal scalability. Dedicated storage devices improve data persistence reliability while reducing the impact of disk failures and recovery reconstruction on database services. The SSC technology fully leverages hardware performance to achieve optimal performance with the minimum number of compute nodes, saving hidden costs such as data center space, cooling, power, and O&M.

With the GBase 8s shared-storage SSC cluster solution, automatic failover occurs when a single node fails, requiring no manual intervention, ensuring business continuity. It provides a solid data foundation for the Jinmin Project, empowering civil affairs services to make the digital leap from “paper” to the “cloud.”

The application support platform, which includes the GBase database, provides unified support for all business system software of the Jinmin Project, comprehensively covering informatization systems for essential livelihood security such as marriage registration, low-income population monitoring, social assistance, disability qualification certification, elderly care, charitable fundraising, child welfare and more.

Beyond the Jinmin Project, GBASE (General Data Technology) is leveraging its deep expertise in core database technology to deliver solutions for the digital transformation and IT application innovation across various industries. As a leading database provider in China, GBASE will continue to promote the vigorous development of data products and services and related industries, while advancing the quality and efficiency of digital transformation and deeply empowering industry data applications.
