GBASE and China Unicom Cloud Build a Solid Data Foundation for Hunan's Multi-Chip Government Cloud

As provincial government clouds move towards a "one cloud, multi-chip" architecture, data layer fragmentation, silos, and security risks have become core challenges. Recently, the project "Innovation and Practice of Database Management for Hunan Province Government Cloud under IT Application Innovation," jointly submitted by GBASE and China Unicom Digital Technology, was awarded the "First-Class Case" in the ICT China (2025) Industry Solutions category. This recognition underscores the authoritative validation of GBase database’s core capabilities in complex government scenarios.

Tackling Core Challenges of Government Cloud Data

In the digital transformation of government services, traditional decentralized construction models have increasingly exposed five major pain points:

Resource Silos: Departments independently build data centers and procure equipment, leading to low resource utilization, high operational costs, and heavy financial burdens on maintenance and construction.

Data Sharing Barriers: Scattered data across departments makes cross-agency and multi-level sharing and collaboration difficult, creating data silos that hamper service efficiency.

Struggling System Upgrades: Many legacy deployments are hard to integrate, slowing new service launch and lengthening update cycles. Migration faces a "dare not move, cannot move" dilemma.

Fragmented Security: Dispersed databases and business systems harbor security vulnerabilities, making it hard to ensure data confidentiality and integrity.

High Total Cost of Ownership: Each department builds its own IT systems, incurring steep costs across procurement, deployment, and ongoing maintenance.

Unicom Cloud + GBase Database Creates a New Data Foundation for Government Cloud

As the core builder of Hunan’s government cloud, China Unicom Cloud has rolled out a full-stack cloud service system covering IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS, built on a "dual-engine base + one cloud, multi-chip" architecture. The platform supports hybrid deployment of virtual machines and containers, and is fully compatible with x86, ARM, and various domestic chip architectures. Within this architecture, Unicom Cloud Database GBase plays a critical role.

Unicom Cloud Database GBase is a database product jointly developed by China Unicom Cloud and GBASE. It combines Unicom Cloud’s comprehensive cloud platform capabilities with GBASE’s specialized expertise in domestic database innovation, leveraging Unicom Cloud’s national cloud pool resources and provincial branch marketing networks to meet users’ needs for unified management of cloud-native domestic databases.

Unicom Cloud Database GBase delivers an online database service that is ready to use, instantly deployable, stable, reliable, elastically scalable, and easy to maintain. It supports a wide range of web applications and provides a complete solution for management, backup, recovery, and monitoring, freeing users to focus on application development.

Eight Core Capabilities: How GBase Database Serves as the Backbone of Government Cloud Data

1. Intelligent Operations – Simplifying Database Management

Provides an out-of-the-box distributed database that is fast, convenient, and easy to manage. Routine maintenance that once required dedicated DBAs can now be handled through GBase’s visual platform, significantly improving operational efficiency.

2. Defense in Depth – Building a Security Fortress

GBase database offers comprehensive security protection from the network layer to the application layer. Its dynamic data masking feature ensures that when handling sensitive data, personnel can “see but not use” it, effectively preventing insider data leaks.

3. High Availability Architecture – Ensuring Non-Stop Operations

Full HA design for distributed cluster management nodes, data nodes, and all components eliminates single points of failure. Strongly consistent distributed transactions safeguard system availability on every front.

4. Extreme Performance – Handling Business Peaks with Ease

A single node can achieve million-level tpmc performance. Combined with distributed scaling capabilities, it delivers cluster-level ultra-high performance for users.

5. Distributed Transactions – Ensuring Precise Data Consistency

Supports RC and RR isolation levels along with strongly consistent transactions, making cross-department business collaboration more reliable.

6. High Compatibility – Enabling Smooth System Migration

GBase database’s high compatibility with Oracle syntax greatly reduces the workload of adapting core government applications during migration, significantly lowering migration risks and costs.

7. Full-Stack IT Application Innovation – Creating an Autonomous and Controllable Technology Foundation

GBase database has completed full-stack adaptation with mainstream domestic IT environments, providing government systems with an end-to-end, locally developed solution from chips to applications.

8. Visual Operations – Keeping System Status Clear at a Glance

Through a unified monitoring platform, operations staff can track the running status of provincial government databases in real time, transforming their approach from reactive firefighting to proactive prevention.

In practice within Hunan’s government cloud, GBase database has demonstrated that domestic databases can shoulder critical roles in core business systems and possess the ability to support large-scale, high-concurrency workloads.

Looking ahead, as digital government initiatives deepen, GBASE will continue to focus on government scenarios. Through ongoing technological innovation and product optimization, it will provide a reliable data foundation for digital government construction in more regions, driving the country’s digital transformation to new heights.
