GBASE, together with Tongfang Softbank and Kylinsec, releases a joint independently developed IT ecosystem solution for core banking systems
As IT Application Innovation gains momentum across the financial sector, strengthening the independent innovation of underlying technologies in financial information systems has become essential. Banks, as the primary drivers of this shift, are rapidly advancing their IT Application Innovation initiatives. To support the dual imperatives of digital transformation and IT Application Innovation for banks and other financial institutions, GBASE has deepened its collaboration with Hunan Kylinsec Technology Co., Ltd. (Kylinsec) and Dalian TFC Software Co., Ltd. (TFC) to jointly launch a banking core system solution. This joint solution features a fully compatible and performance-optimized full-stack architecture—spanning database, operating system, and core banking applications—on the IT Application Innovation platform. This powerful synergy provides robust support for enhancing the security and stability of IT architecture in the financial industry and accelerating digital initiatives in the era of IT Application Innovation.
Joint Solution Components
The joint core banking system innovation solution, jointly released by GBase (General Data Technology), Tongfang Software, and Kylinsec, is built on the GBase database, Kylinsec operating system, and Tongfang Software's RunningCore core banking system:
Database Access Layer: Utilizes GBase database products. GBase 8s is a centralized transactional database designed for hundreds of TBs of data storage and thousands of concurrent users. GBase 8c is a distributed transactional database that meets scalability needs, suited for massive data and high-concurrency scenarios.
Operating System Layer: Kylinsec OS provides a secure, independently-developed foundation for the solution. It is a commercial distribution built on the openEuler community, fully inheriting all openEuler features and ecosystem capabilities, delivering high security, high reliability, strong real-time performance, and versatile customization.
Application Layer: Tongfang Software's RunningCore core banking system adopts a microservices architecture, built on the proprietary distributed platform RunningDAS. Business functions are partitioned into subsystems, each independently deployed as a microservice, with supporting development and operations tools.
The Value of the Joint Solution
Security and Reliability:
The solution achieves a full-stack deployment of China-developed servers, operating systems, databases, and core business applications, ensuring financial information security. It provides financial institutions with a secure, reliable, and fully integrated core banking system solution built on homegrown technologies.
High Performance:
Built on a domestically sourced database and operating system foundation, the distributed architecture significantly enhances core system performance to handle massive data volumes and high concurrency typical of internet scenarios. Validated with a dataset of 50 million customers, the solution achieves a complex transaction time of under 80ms and a simple transaction response time of under 30ms.
Stable Operation:
The joint solution demonstrates robust stability under high concurrency: it ran continuously for 48 hours without errors, with steady resource utilization. When server, database, or application nodes are abruptly terminated, the system continues operating unaffected with zero data loss.
Flexible Scalability:
It offers the most reliable and stable configuration based on actual data volume and concurrency, delivering optimal performance across scenarios. For small datasets, a centralized architecture minimizes resource consumption and maximizes efficiency. For larger data volumes, the solution employs a full distributed architecture combining distributed applications and distributed data, enabling rapid scaling of system capacity by adding hardware resources.
Moving forward, GBase will join forces with Kylinsec and Tongfang Softbank to drive IT application innovation in the financial sector, empowering banks and other financial institutions to achieve independent innovation in key information technologies and providing robust support for the digital transformation of the financial industry.
