For a long time, China's core business systems of financial institutions generally are based on a database of foreign brands. Even if it is "to IOE" campaign has been vigorous for many years, core business systems, including a variety of industries including finance still could not escape the foreign database brands.
So, who is the first time a domestic alternative to foreign databases database brands in a large bank's core business systems it?
It is not "going IOE" vanguard of the Internet giant, nor is it for many years been committed to the innovation of Chinese database database company, but focused in the communications market for many years, ZTE, its database product called GoldenDB.
Since the beginning of 2014, ZTE launched the development of the financial level of the database, and to work closely with CITIC Bank, five years of independent research and development, and gradually build a distributed database product GoldenDB apply to banks and strong transactional consistency. According to reports, this year, CITIC Bank credit card's core business will be the first to migrate all GoldenDB database, complete substitution of foreign brands of database; and complete replacement of all core business systems before the end of the year.
"This is a milestone and replace epoch-making." Senior vice president of ZTE, Yu Yifang, president of the political energy products business he said.
Financial technology engine needs domestic brands
The role of the database system is particularly important in the financial sector, banking, insurance, securities and other financial institutions, core transaction system is almost always a large amount of transaction data to be processed every day, store, query, and carrying these core database system played an important role , called the financial industry engine. Yu Yifang said: "The financial sector is the most difficult because of the financial industry in the field of database for the most demanding strong database consistency, reliability, security requirements, data can not be a little mistake.."
It can be said, in all sectors, the financial sector is the most difficult scene database technology, can be called the "crown jewel" in the database field. But domestic banks' core database business database basically been monopolized by foreign brands, foreign brands have leading database decades of accumulated deep in the kernel, tools, products and other aspects have a big advantage, domestic database products over the years has not achieve a major breakthrough in the financial industry.

ZTE GoldenDB alternative to achieve international data CITIC Bank brand in the core business in the financial sector means that domestic database real breakthrough.

"Yu Yifang disclosed.
ZTE GoldenDB out through the evaluation
ZTE introduced, GoldenDB database has four characteristics:
First, GoldenDB a distributed architecture, the hardware and software decoupling, can help financial customers away from the traditional centralized architecture of the hardware platform, no longer subject to proprietary hardware platforms;
Secondly, GoldenDB distributed architecture can prop up the banking system of large trading business, to meet the needs of the bank's core business;

Fourth, GoldenDB smooth migration support, application support smooth migration to distributed database to help banks a good continuation of the application of the results and data assets;
Yu Yifang said, the current GoldenDB distributed database has been successfully applied in CITIC Bank, Bank of Jiangsu, Jiangsu rural credit cooperatives and other banks, and has been tested in more than 20 banks. "From the test results, GoldenDB basically came in first. It can be said, on the financial industry's core business systems, ZTE the first to achieve a breakthrough in China-made database of zero future, ZTE's target market is the domestic financial industry database market achieved 50% market share. "
Future development of three-step
In fact, GoldenDB distributed database that is not about jumping like a monkey from the stone out, but ZTE has nearly 20 years of hard work and achievements in the field of database crystallization. Yu Yifang said, "ZTE has 17 years of database development experience, patented more than 100, have the ability to fully grasp the code." According to reports, ZTE has invested a total of more than 1 billion yuan in the database, now we have more than 500 people R & D team.
"ZTE is a strategic-level database products in the next three-step strategy we have first of all is to become the financial industry database brand leader;.. The second step is to become the Chinese market leader in database brands; third step is to global. "Yu Yifang undisguised ambition ZTE.
It is reported that, GoldenDB distributed database product and technical level have a clear strategic plan. Cloud database as an example, the current global database market with more than half of the revenue ratio for cloud databases, legacy database size of the market is gradually narrowing, cloud database system rich variety of products, cost-effective deployment and on-demand pay-payment model being welcomed by users.
Yu Yifang said: "The current database on GoldenDB nature is already a form of cloud database, we now focus financial sector, especially ×××, but because of the special requirements of high-grade banking business, mostly deployed in the private cloud has .GoldenDB long-term product planning for public cloud deployment is a direction of our future development. "
In addition, ZTE also want to improve the database of domestic brand building from an ecological point of view. Yu Yifang said: "We want to first establish ecological domestic databases in the financial sector, by way of technology alliances, industry alliances, from business, chips, operating systems, databases, various vendors to participate, building ecology, developing from the technical route to the standard , work together to create a database of industrial ecology. then extend from the financial sector to the entire industry. "
Written in the last
The financial sector as the country's pillar industries, should have a database of domestic brand position.
Compared with servers, storage, database field for many years been the international giants of the world, the database of domestic brands need to work harder to achieve substantial breakthroughs. Current, GoldenDB ZTE has taken an important step in the brand of domestic database, but the database for domestic brands is not enough, you need to ZTE, Huawei, South Common who work hard, try harder.
I believe that in the near future, domestic database will inevitably have an important place in the country's major industries!
