GBASE and Sunline jointly launch a major financial data warehouse joint solution.

As digital transformation deepens, financial institutions face an increasingly urgent need for data-driven capabilities. Integrating internal and external business data to enable seamless vertical and horizontal data flow, and turning that data into a true engine for business growth, have become essential. At the same time, the IT Application Innovation wave is sweeping the industry. As the foundational software and core pillar, databases must deliver a highly available, highly secure, and intelligent data foundation capable of supporting massive-scale data storage and computing – all of which are critical to the digital transformation of financial institutions.

With keen insight into market demand, GBase and Sunline have joined forces to launch a converged, intelligent, and reliable China-developed financial data warehouse solution, which has been widely recognized by financial institutions.

GBase has focused on database product R&D and services for 20 years, accumulating extensive project delivery and implementation experience. It has consistently held the No. 1 market share in the analytical database market in China, deeply rooted in industries such as finance and telecommunications. Deployed at over 200 large enterprises both domestically and abroad, GBase powers several mission-critical core systems for major organizations, including Agricultural Bank of China and China Mobile.

Sunline has been dedicated to financial big data for 21 years, driving industry advancement with financial technology. It empowers clients to build an integrated data closed loop—from business digitization and data assetization to asset servitization and service monetization—unlocking the potential of data elements and fostering intelligent finance. As of the end of 2022, Sunline’s big data business had served over 200 financial clients worldwide, with more than 1,000 projects implemented, covering 100% of policy banks, 83% of state-owned banks, and 92% of joint-stock banks. The company has also extensively expanded into non-banking sectors, forming deep partnerships with China’s leading securities firms, finance companies, trust companies, and financial holding companies.

Both parties had proactively pursued product compatibility certification. GBase 8a MPP Cluster V9 and Sunline’s data warehouse solution have completed joint testing, and the two products are fully compatible, stable in operation, and fully meet the data warehouse construction requirements of financial institutions.

Leveraging their combined innovation strengths, the joint solution uses GBase 8a MPP Cluster V9 as the core component, complemented by Sunline’s Data Development Platform, Data Exchange Platform, Enterprise Scheduling Platform, Data Asset Management Platform, and Data Service Platform. This builds a technical platform for massive data computing and complex model analysis, enabling centralized collection, storage, and sharing of data across business domains. It provides a comprehensive, timely, and accurate view of the operational status and trends of critical systems, empowering financial institutions to fully unlock the value of their data.

Mature Financial Data Models for Effective Data Integration

Based on years of deep financial industry experience, the data models are applicable across various sectors—stable, easily scalable, and adaptable to evolving business needs.

Advanced Architecture Built on Homegrown Innovation Supports Future Planning

By deploying a fully homegrown and self-reliant environment, the core database engine delivers high availability, reliability, performance, stability, and scalability. This meets the demands of large-scale financial applications, aligns with core business requirements, and enables more possibilities for future growth.

Comprehensive Toolset for Efficient Development and Operations

Powered by Sunline’s proprietary scheduling, development, and data exchange platforms, the configuration-driven approach dramatically reduces manual coding and improves operational efficiency.

Seamless Integration with Data Governance for Orderly Data Management

Aligned with enterprise data governance systems, it enforces comprehensive data standards, automated quality checks and monitoring, and data security classification and grading within the data warehouse. This results in more secure and accessible data, delivering accurate, complete, and reliable data resources for business analytics, regulatory reporting, and other applications.

Supports Data Supply for Over 50 Applications

The joint solution can meet the data supply demands of over 50 applications—including business management, customer management, financial management, risk management, and regulatory reporting—satisfying the needs of fine-grained operations for financial institutions.

Currently, the financial data warehouse joint solution launched by GBASE and Sunline has been deployed in multiple projects, receiving widespread recognition from financial customers, especially banks.

Bank of Jilin Data Warehouse System Project

In this project, leveraging GBase 8a MPP Cluster and Sunline’s data development platform, data exchange platform, and enterprise scheduling platform, and aligning with Bank of Jilin’s unified data standards, a next-generation data warehouse was built. It enables centralized data collection, processing, storage, and sharing, delivering comprehensive, timely, and accurate insights into the operational status and trends of key systems at headquarters and branches, thereby helping Bank of Jilin fully unlock data value.

Bank of Chengde Data Middle Platform Project

In this project, GBase 8a MPP Cluster was combined with Sunline’s data development, data exchange, enterprise scheduling, indicator management, and data backfill platforms to create a foundational data infrastructure with a hybrid Hadoop+MPP architecture for Bank of Chengde. This infrastructure features data ingestion, preprocessing, storage, modeling, analysis, and visualization capabilities, providing solid data support for the bank’s enterprise-wide digital transformation.

Looking ahead, GBASE and Sunline will further deepen their collaboration, harnessing the dual engines of “data + technology” to continuously expand financial big data applications. Together, they will deliver advanced, mature, and self-controllable digital transformation products and solutions to banking, securities, insurance, and other financial customers, accelerating the industry’s shift toward secure and independent IT innovation.
