GBase Database Enables Jiangsu Mobile's Network Management System Domestic Replacement
Driven by the waves of digital transformation and the need for self-sufficiency in core technologies, the IT architecture of provincial telecom operators is undergoing profound changes. As a leading provincial subsidiary serving over 200 million users, China Mobile Jiangsu (Jiangsu Mobile) is upgrading its network management system not only to meet its own business growth but also to provide a critical practice for exploring the domestic replacement of core systems in the industry. In this process, GBase database, with its comprehensive technical capabilities, has become the core engine supporting this transformation.
Jiangsu Mobile's network management system upgrade is driven by three major motivations:
First, the traditional centralized architecture can no longer meet the demands of rapid business development; second, it is imperative to achieve self-sufficiency in core technologies to ensure data security; third, to embrace the convergence of big data and AI, the underlying database must possess stronger analytical capabilities and scalability.
GBase Solution: Three Key Technical Capabilities
To address the complex business scenarios of Jiangsu Mobile, GBase database provides targeted technical solutions:
Distributed Elastic Scalability
GBase database adopts an advanced distributed architecture that intelligently distributes data storage and computing loads across multiple standard servers. This design delivers near-linear horizontal scalability while fully maintaining transaction ACID properties, making it especially suitable for the “read-heavy, write-light” workloads of network management systems, effortlessly addressing the performance challenges caused by continuous data growth.
Multi-Engine Hybrid Workload Support
Network management operations involve both high-frequency online transaction processing (OLTP) and substantial data analysis and report generation (OLAP). GBase database efficiently supports such hybrid workloads within a single database kernel by integrating row-based, columnar, and in-memory storage engines. This “one database, multi-model” architecture significantly simplifies system complexity and improves overall resource utilization.
Full-Lifecycle Data Security Protection
Data security is the cornerstone of telecom operations. GBase database's fully encrypted technology ensures that data is encrypted throughout transmission, computation, and storage, reliably protecting sensitive data even in extreme scenarios and building a solid defense for Jiangsu Mobile's massive user privacy data.
Implementation Outcomes and Industry Value
This project successfully migrated over ten core business systems including service orchestration, intelligent operations, and network complaint platforms, totaling dozens of terabytes of data. The smooth go-live and sustained stable operation have fully validated the reliability and maturity of GBase database in operators' core production environments.
Due to its significant demonstrative value, this industry practice was selected as a 2025 Big Data “Star River” Potential Case. Its benchmarking significance is reflected in two main aspects:
1. Ultra-Large-Scale Business Validation
In a live production environment serving over 200 million users, a smooth replacement from foreign commercial databases to domestic databases was achieved, proving that GBase database is fully capable of supporting top-tier business scales and complexities.
2. Replicable Implementation Path
The project established a complete methodology covering assessment and planning, data migration, and operational assurance, providing a verified and replicable implementation path for core system domestic replacement in the telecom industry and other critical sectors.
The successful upgrade of Jiangsu Mobile's network management system marks an important breakthrough for domestic foundational software in key areas of the telecom industry. As the digital economy advances, domestic data infrastructure represented by GBase database will continue to leverage its secure, reliable, high-performance, and elastically scalable technical characteristics, helping more industry customers solidify their digital transformation foundation and confidently meet the business challenges of the intelligent era.
