GBase Database Powers New Digital Infrastructure at the 2026 Mobile Network Conference

GBase Database recently appeared at the 2026 Mobile Network Conference, themed “Co-creating New Forms of the Intelligent Economy,” held in Guangzhou, showcasing implementation practices across core telecom operator scenarios. As a solid foundation for the digital and intelligent transformation of the telecommunications industry, GBase Database is comprehensively advancing China Mobile’s database replacement process, providing reliable support for efficient processing of massive data and stable operation of core business systems.

To date, GBase Database has deployed 10,000+ nodes and supports 100+ PB of data at China Mobile, making General Data Technology one of the database vendors with the broadest coverage and deepest implementation in China Mobile’s database replacement process. The deployment covers group headquarters and 29 provinces along two main lines: first, big data analytics platform innovation to solve operators’ massive data processing challenges; second, replacement of core business systems, successfully bringing the databases into B-domain and O-domain production core systems to match differentiated multi-scenario requirements.

GBase 8a: The Engine for Massive Data Analytics

Operators’ big data analytics is essentially a calculation of “fast and cost-efficient” over petabyte-scale data. With its MPP distributed architecture and virtual cluster capabilities, GBase 8a has become the core engine supporting China Mobile’s massive data analytics.

At the group level, the headquarters “1+N” big data platform uses GBase 8a as its core data warehouse. The cluster provides services as resource pools, with provincial companies managed as tenants under a virtual cluster architecture — achieving effective physical resource isolation and on-demand MPP scaling by tenant count, well suited to group-level centralized management and elastic scheduling.

At the provincial level, GBase 8a supports big data platforms in more than 20 provinces with multiple architectural innovations: with Shandong Mobile, a lakehouse-integrated big data platform broke the separation between data lakes and warehouses, cutting storage consumption through centralized HDFS and object storage; with Jiangsu Mobile, a storage-compute separation upgrade decoupled compute from storage so each can scale independently, substantially reducing storage costs.

GBase 8c: A Multi-Model Foundation for Core Business Systems

Facing the accelerated replacement of mobile core systems, GBase 8c, with its multi-model design and strong compatibility, provides solid support for O-domain and B-domain core businesses.

GBase 8c offers multiple storage modes — row store, column store, and HTAP hybrid row-column storage — plus deployment options including primary-standby, distributed, and storage-compute separation. Native multi-model capabilities such as GIS, time-series, and vector storage meet emerging demands like AI applications and spatial data retrieval. By specifying syntax compatibility modes at database creation, it maximizes compatibility with heterogeneous database dialects; together with the DMT automated migration tool, it delivers smooth migration with business-critical cutover requirements.

In production, GBase 8c has been deployed at scale across differentiated scenarios including CRM, accounting, settlement, network management, complaints, GIS, and resource management, covering O-, B-, and M-domains across provincial companies in Jiangsu, Anhui, Guangdong, Shandong, Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Shaanxi. In Jiangsu Mobile’s O-domain system transformation, the DMT tool enabled smooth full and incremental migration of a complex environment of 10 Oracle RAC instances with about 58 TB of data and 20,000+ table objects. At Anhui Mobile, multiple O-domain systems — comprehensive performance analysis, government-enterprise operations, and pipeline management — now run on a single distributed cluster for efficient unified management.

GBase 8s: A Secure Line of Defense for High-Concurrency Transactions

In scenarios demanding extreme concurrency and security, GBase 8s plays a key role. It features millisecond-level primary-standby automatic failover, a two-site three-center high-availability architecture, and SM3/SM4 data encryption, ensuring zero data loss for core businesses under extreme failures. GBase 8s now broadly supports China Mobile’s electronic channels, business outlets, service provisioning, and network management systems, safeguarding business continuity under massive concurrency.

From large-scale node deployment on the “1+N” big data platform, to lakehouse innovation at provincial companies, to the smooth replacement of core business systems, GBase Database has entered a new stage of scaled application at China Mobile. Riding the wave of “co-creating new forms of the intelligent economy,” GBase Database will continue deepening operator scenarios with a more autonomous, more intelligent technology foundation.
