Certified Again! GBase 8s Passes CAICT's Specialized Test for Shared-Storage Architecture Databases!
Recently, in the "Trusted Database" testing of the first half of 2026 cohort organized by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT), GBase 8s V8.8, a product of GBASE, successfully completed the product test for "Database Basic Capabilities Based on Shared Storage Architecture." Prior to this, GBase 8s V10 had already pioneered the test, becoming the first database product in China to achieve this certification. With this, GBase 8s has now completed testing for both V8.8 and V10, signifying authoritative validation of its key characteristics—high availability, high performance, and high scalability—under the shared storage cluster architecture. This provides finance, telecommunications, energy, and transportation industries, as well as other critical sectors, with a more diversified and stable enterprise-grade database choice for their core systems.
The evaluation was conducted in accordance with the "Technical Requirements for Databases Based on Shared Storage Architecture" standard compiled by CAICT. It systematically verified the database cluster capabilities across five dimensions: shared storage coordination, basic functions, high availability and disaster recovery, compatibility and adaptation, and security capabilities. The results showed that GBase 8s V8.8 fully met all the technical indicators specified by the standard.
Core Capabilities of GBase 8s
GBase 8s, a shared storage-based database cluster from GBASE, is a mature and reliable enterprise transactional database. The V8.8 version that passed this test, just like its subsequent V10 version, supports a cluster design built on shared storage architecture. The product’s core advantages are reflected in the following aspects:
First, high security. GBase 8s complies with Level 4 of China’s Classified Protection of Information Security (equivalent to international B2 level) and supports China’s national cryptographic algorithms, delivering all-round protection for sensitive data.
Second, high availability and disaster recovery. The product offers multiple high-availability solutions, including Shared Storage Cluster (SSC), High-Availability Cluster (HAC), Remote High-Availability Cluster (RHAC), and Enterprise Replication (ER). It supports automatic failover and is designed to achieve 99.999% system availability.
Third, strong compatibility. GBase 8s is compatible with SQL92/99/2003 standards and mainstream development interfaces, ensuring smooth migration and rapid development for user applications.
Fourth, proven deployments. GBase 8s has been widely deployed in core business systems across finance, telecommunications, government, energy, transportation, and other sectors, delivering high-performance, highly reliable real-time transaction processing capabilities for large-scale data environments.
The successive completion of authoritative CAICT tests by both GBase 8s V8.8 and V10 demonstrates that GBASE has established comprehensive product coverage on the shared storage cluster technology roadmap, while also reflecting the market’s urgent demand for and strong recognition of high-end Chinese transactional database products. Through its SSC (Shared Storage Cluster) solution, GBase 8s enables simultaneous read/write operations across multiple nodes in the cluster. If the primary node fails, other nodes can rapidly take over services, achieving switchover in seconds and effectively ensuring 24/7 uninterrupted operation for core businesses. Currently, GBase 8s has been implemented at scale in key scenarios such as core banking transaction systems and dispatching systems of State Grid and China Oil & Gas Pipeline Network (PipeChina), reliably supporting real-time services for tens of millions of users.
Looking ahead, GBASE (General Data Technology) will continue to focus on core database technologies, deliver rigorously validated and reliable products to support the digital transformation of mission-critical systems across even more industries, and contribute solid strength to the Digital China initiative.
