New trend of enterprise digital transformation: from resource automation to application automation
Hu Yanjun said that with the rapid development of cloud computing, big data, AI, Internet of Things and other new technologies, there is a new trend of enterprise digital transformation, began to change from “resource-centric” to “application-centric”, enterprise database will also change from the “cloud” stage to “cloud native” development direction.
Different from the cloud phase, cloud is about resource management and control, while cloud native is application-oriented. Through continuous innovation within the cloud, cloud capabilities can be fully released. Hu Yanjun believes that the core content of cloud native is “coordination, extreme and unity”, and the organic coordination between new capabilities and existing capabilities is not broken, so as to create a new cloud native enterprise with “high resource efficiency, agile application, business intelligence, security and reliability”.
The core of enterprise digital transformation is data. Data has become the new means of production in the intelligent era, while cloud, AI and 5G are the new production tools. New opportunities bring new changes, new changes bring new demands, new demands stimulate new data fission, the sustainable development of database has also entered a new stage of cloud native database. At present, the vast majority of enterprise business is running on the cloud, it can be said that cloud database is the fundamental of enterprise digital transformation, and cloud native database is the key step of enterprise digital transformation.
Huawei cloud native database GaussDB: Enables applications to live and grow in the cloud
Cloud native database is a database based on unified architecture and cloud native infrastructure to realize multi-cloud collaboration, hybrid cloud solutions, and edge cloud collaboration. Huawei cloud native database GaussDB is market-oriented, adheres to an open ecosystem, and has an advanced architecture. It provides cloud services for all users, preventing customers from moving from one closed ecosystem to another.
At the same time, it is based on the unified storage and computing separation architecture, compatible with Huawei’s own openGauss and mainstream open source database ecology (such as MySQL, Redis and InfluxDB), supports relational and non-relational databases, and provides excellent performance, high reliability and high expansion database capabilities for financial, government and enterprise customers. Enabling enterprise applications to become more agile and efficient based on cloud native capabilities and faster business growth.
The cloud native database GaussDB breaks through the bottleneck of the traditional database capability and shows the ultimate capability advantages in all aspects. Its capability breakthroughs are as follows:
L Excellent performance: based on the memory separation architecture, GaussDB can provide ultra-high performance. For example, GaussDB(for openGauss) is up to 10 million level tpmC, which is 10 times higher than traditional database performance.
L Extreme expansion: GaussDB supports minute-to-minute node expansion with extreme scalability. For example, GaussDB(for MySQL) supports 1 write and 15 read, which is five times more scalable than native MySQL.
L large capacity: GaussDB has the advantages of large capacity to meet the requirements of enterprises for storing massive data. For example, GaussDB(for MySQL) supports 128TB data, and GaussDB(for openGauss) supports PB data.
L High availability: GaussDB can be deployed across AZs, and the three data copies are consistent. Data 0 can be lost and flash recovery can be achieved.
Huawei attaches great importance to the research and development of the GaussDB database, and has invested a large number of human and material resources. Currently, the GaussDB database is deployed in 7 regional research institutes around the world, and is supported by over 60 international top experts and over 1000 database professionals. At the same time, based on the full stack of Huawei cloud native capabilities, the integration of Huawei’s multi-field resource capabilities, and actively build a world-class database.
It is worth mentioning that Huawei cloud GaussDB has been widely used in finance, government, Internet, automobile, e-commerce, logistics and other industries. It has been commercialized in more than 500 large customers and has rich industry practices. In addition, in 2020, GaussDB series database products were selected into Gartner Database Magic Quadrant, and GaussDB(for MySQL) core technology innovation papers have been selected into SIGMOD, SSDBM and other international top database conferences, winning wide recognition in the market.
Hu Yanjun finally said, cloud native database is the trend of The Times, the future will be more and more enterprise applications on the cloud native, huawei cloud database will continue to work hard, completes the technical promotion and help customers succeed, digital transformation provides more solid and reliable database base, huawei cloud GaussDB cloud native database “!
