Adding Double Insurance for Data Security | GBASE and Yunqi Technology Release a Joint Solution

As digital transformation accelerates, distributed databases are gaining significant momentum, with more enterprises adopting them for mission-critical systems. Today, distributed databases are widely deployed in data-intensive industries such as finance and telecommunications—in financial services, they have become a cornerstone of core transaction systems.

According to IDC, China's financial sector distributed transactional database market reached approximately USD 200 million in 2023, up 12.1% year-over-year. The market is poised for sustained growth as digital initiatives intensify and data processing demands increase.

In our previous "Inside GBASE" episode, we hosted Vinchin, a leading provider of cloud data center backup and disaster recovery solutions, to discuss the evolution of distributed databases and best practices for disaster recovery—a session that resonated with many attendees.

Here is a recap of the compelling exchange and practical insights on innovative approaches to China-developed distributed databases and disaster recovery.

GBase by General Data Technology: Third-Generation Intelligent Distributed Database

GBase 8c is General Data Technology’s self-developed third-generation intelligent distributed database. It supports multiple storage engines—including row, columnar, and in-memory—to meet diverse application requirements. By offering different SQL compatibility modes, it maximizes interoperability with heterogeneous databases and comes with automated migration tools to reduce the cost and risk of modernization. GBase 8c supports standalone, primary-standby, and distributed deployment topologies, enabling flexible scaling and lower total cost of ownership.

With high performance, high availability, elastic scalability, and strong security, GBase 8c can be deployed on physical servers, virtual machines, containers, private clouds, and public clouds—delivering secure, stable, and reliable data storage and management for core systems in critical industries, internet businesses, and government & enterprise applications.

In terms of high availability, GBase 8c eliminates single points of failure globally to prevent system outages. It supports multi-site multi-data center architectures with active-active deployment, ensures data reliability through multiple replicas, and provides standby archiving and backup to offload primary hosts—boosting service stability and safeguarding business continuity across complex scenarios.

Vinchin: Comprehensive Disaster Recovery Strategies for Databases

As a specialized data protection solution provider, Vinchin has crafted a full suite of disaster recovery strategies tailored to the characteristics of distributed databases.

The Vinchin Backup & Disaster Recovery system delivers professional data protection and management, significantly enhancing database resilience and recoverability. It not only meets the requirements of China’s Multi-Level Protection Scheme 2.0 (MLPS 2.0) and industry-specific data security regulations, but also ensures the security and stability of upstream applications—preventing business disruptions caused by ransomware, natural disasters, and human errors. In intelligent operations, Vinchin helps enterprises reduce disaster recovery management workloads, achieving both cost efficiency and operational effectiveness.

Joint Solution: Dual-Protection for Data Security

The joint solution from General Data Technology and Vinchin unveiled in this session provides a blueprint for strengthening distributed database data security and achieving effective disaster recovery.

By leveraging the high-availability capabilities of GBase 8c alongside Vinchin’s innovative database protection and disaster recovery technologies, enterprises gain a dual layer of defense that bolsters system security, regulatory compliance, and business continuity.

Looking ahead, General Data Technology and Vinchin will deepen collaboration—driven by core technology innovation and guided by real-world business scenarios—to explore more joint solutions for data security and disaster recovery, empowering enterprise customers with enduring momentum for their digital transformation journeys.
