Intelligence Renewed, Foundation Built on Self-Reliance | GBase Database at the 28th China International Software Expo

From September 20–22, 2026, the 28th China International Software Expo and Intelligent Agent Innovation Application Conference was held at the Zhengzhou International Convention and Exhibition Center. GBase 8c, GBASE's next-generation AI-native database, was selected for the 2025–2026 Catalog of Outstanding Innovative Software Products, recognized for its standout performance in AI-native architecture, multi-model multi-form design, and large-scale IT application innovation deployments.

This year's Software Expo focused on a pivotal moment in history: AI technology is accelerating the reconstruction of software development paradigms. The industry is shifting from "programming" to "training," and from CPU-dominated computing to GPU and large language model collaborative architectures. As intelligent agents take over more business decisions and process orchestration, data serves as the "fuel" for agents — and its management efficiency, real-time capabilities, and multi-modal processing power directly determine how deeply agent applications can be deployed. Intelligent upgrading of the data foundation has become an indispensable pillar of the software industry's intelligent transformation.

GBase 8c: A Next-Generation AI-Native Multi-Model, Multi-Form Database

As a selected outstanding innovative product, GBase 8c's strength comes from years of deep technical investment. Its core competitiveness is reflected in the following areas:

Multi-Model, Multi-Form — One Engine for Every Scenario

GBase 8c supports multiple storage engines including row-store, column-store, GIS, vector, and time-series, along with multiple deployment forms including primary-standby, distributed, and storage-compute separation — all flexibly combinable based on business needs. Whether it's online transaction processing, real-time analytical queries, or vector retrieval and unstructured data management in agent scenarios, everything runs on a single database engine — effectively reducing the architectural complexity of maintaining multiple heterogeneous database systems.

High Availability and Strong Consistency — Safeguarding Mission-Critical Workloads

Through multi-replica strong consistency mechanisms, GBase 8c delivers a comprehensive high-availability framework supporting multiple disaster recovery architectures: same-data-center, same-city dual-center, two-city three-center, and cross-region active-active. It achieves RPO = 0, sub-second RTO failover, and system availability up to 99.999%. Global transaction management and global deadlock detection ensure strong consistency in distributed environments, while online elastic scaling delivers linear performance gains as nodes are added.

Full-Chain Security — Meeting Compliance Requirements for Critical Industries

GBase 8c holds EAL4+ security certification and provides end-to-end encrypted security mechanisms spanning transmission, storage, and computation — fully meeting the data security and compliance requirements of critical industries such as finance and government. The product is deeply adapted to domestic chips including Kunpeng, HIGON, and Phytium, as well as domestic operating systems including Kylin and UnionTech. On top of standard SQL syntax, it is highly compatible with mainstream databases including Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQL Server — dramatically reducing migration costs.

Autonomous and Controllable — A Solid Intellectual Property Foundation
GBase 8c currently holds 9 software copyrights and 63 granted invention patents. It is a benchmark database product that has pioneered smooth, domestic replacement of core business systems across multiple industries.

IT Application Innovation in Practice: From "Usable" to "Production-Ready"
A product's true value is ultimately proven in real business operations. Take a bank in southwestern China: its credit business system adopted a GBase 8c distributed cluster deployment, replacing its existing MySQL and Oracle databases to support core operations including the internet middle platform, corporate credit, and retail risk control — achieving a fully domestic technology stack running on Kunpeng servers and the Kylin operating system.

The operational results are striking:

• Nighttime batch processing reduced from 2.5–3 hours to approximately 30 minutes

• Data synchronization reduced from 2–3 hours to just minutes

• Failover shifted from manual operations to second-level automation

• Core query response efficiency improved by 44%

• Month-end aggregation, credit loan assessment, and other analytical workloads gain higher performance through the columnar engine

This deployment sets a replicable benchmark for IT application innovation in the banking sector.

Today, GBase 8c's large-scale deployments span multiple critical industries:

Finance: Running stably in the core peripheral systems of multiple medium-to-large commercial banks, covering internet middle platform, corporate credit, retail risk control, and e-banking scenarios — completing smooth replacement of Oracle and MySQL with domestic distributed databases.

Telecommunications: GBase 8c has achieved large-scale deployment in telecom operators' core systems. One operator's settlement system, under a traditional centralized architecture, processed billions of call detail records (CDRs) monthly. After deploying GBase 8c in a distributed configuration, real-time CDR settlement processing capacity reached 180 billion records per month, with upstream transmission to first-level systems reaching 15 billion records per month — thoroughly validating the stability and performance of domestic distributed databases under high-concurrency, large-data-volume conditions.

Government and Healthcare: GBase 8c serves multiple provincial government platforms, supporting unified government data management. In the Hunan Provincial Government Cloud's "one cloud, multiple chips" initiative, it pioneered innovation in managed IT innovation database services, building an interconnected business collaboration network. In healthcare, the Binhai campus of Tianjin Central Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology built multiple core business systems on GBase 8c — including HIS, EMR, pathology, and anesthesia — achieving secure and efficient medical data flow.

With broad coverage across fintech, smart government, digital healthcare, and telecommunications operations, GBase 8c has become a representative product for domestic databases replacing core business systems in critical industries.

Looking ahead, GBASE will use this Software Expo as an opportunity to continue deepening its database technologies, staying closely attuned to the industry pulse of deep AI-software integration, and working alongside ecosystem partners to contribute domestic database strength to cultivating new quality productive forces and empowering high-quality digital economic development.
