The release of four new products and the commitment to becoming a full-stack data solution provider is the second major step forward for DAMO in pursuing the Chinese dream of developing a domestic database.

Adhere to independent innovation and release full-stack solutions

At the press conference, Feng Yuan, deputy general manager of DAMO, Zhang Yongqiang, deputy general manager of DAMO, Zhang Rui, deputy general manager of Shutian Mengtu, a subsidiary of DAMO, and Fu Quan, senior deputy general manager of DAMO, respectively shared the product and technical features of the four new products released this time, namely DAMO Data Sharing Cluster (DMDSC), DAMO Qiyun Database (DMCDB), Mengtu Database (GDM), and DAMO's new generation distributed database.

The DAMO Data Sharing Cluster (DMDSC) was first launched by DAMO in the field of domestic databases. It supports 8-node shared storage clusters, while previously only 2 nodes were supported. It adapts to the international mainstream product architecture and fully supports domestic operating systems, chips, middleware and other basic hardware and software equipment. It is committed to creating highly available database solutions and building a large IT ecosystem. The DAMO Data Sharing Cluster has been successfully applied in the power, telecom operators, finance, public security, e-government, energy and other industries and has been highly praised.

DMCDB is a cloud-native strategic product launched by DMC to embrace the future trend of cloud computing and modern applications, targeting the new generation of IT architecture. The product is benchmarked against foreign private cloud database products, based on DMC's original core products, compatible with the domestic IT basic software and hardware ecosystem, and provides cloud database service capabilities (DBaaS) in various infrastructure environments, realizing "on-demand application, out-of-the-box use, and second-level release" of the database, which can greatly simplify the use, management and operation and maintenance processes of the database, improve the speed of business launch, and reduce investment costs. At present, the "Qiyun" database cloud service system has been successfully applied in China Mobile, Fujian Provincial Government Cloud, Shenzhen Cyberspace Administration, Guangxi Electronic Government External Network Cloud Computing Center and other units, and has been highly recognized and praised by user units.

Mengtu Database (GDM) is a distributed graph database management system with completely independent intellectual property rights launched by Shutian Mengtu, a subsidiary of DAMO. Mengtu Database adopts a distributed architecture and performs storage optimization. While taking into account performance and storage occupancy, it realizes the horizontal expansion of storage nodes and can meet the storage needs of massive data in the big data era. GDM also provides a variety of graph computing algorithms and uses multi-node parallel computing to improve the analytical computing capabilities of large and ultra-large graphs, and can simultaneously meet the needs of online analytical processing (OLAP) and online transaction processing (OLTP). At present, Mengtu Database has been applied in projects such as public security and procuratorates.

DAMO's new generation of distributed databases has chosen the native distributed database technology route. It was designed for distributed architecture at the beginning and based on the RAFT protocol to ensure strong data consistency. The new generation of distributed databases can support deployment modes such as two locations and three centers or three locations and five centers, and achieve disaster recovery capabilities for data center failures and regional disasters. Unlike general distributed database products on the market, this product has good versatility and can maintain the user experience of a centralized database while meeting various high-level functions.

The industry works together to build a prosperous ecosystem

Time will refine true gold, and the market will filter out truly useful products. Technology implementation and industrial upgrading are inseparable from the collaborative cooperation and integrated innovation of upstream and downstream enterprises. In the "Smart Ecosystem" session, Chen Xiaopu, Deputy Director of the Information Department of Henan Social Insurance Center, Le Jiajin, the founding dean, professor and doctoral supervisor of the School of Computer Science and Technology of Donghua University, Gai Guoqiang, founder of Yunhe Enmo, Hu Rudao, vice president of Pactera Finance, Li Mingyu, chief scientist and doctor of Sangfor Technology Group, and other representatives of cooperative enterprises gave keynote speeches on the integrated innovation of the industrial ecology and shared their experiences and feelings of working with DAMO to build an ecology.

Director Chen Xiaopu said that the "Henan Human Resources and Social Security Data Sharing Big Data Platform" provided by DAMO Company to the Henan Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security has efficiently solved many previous project management problems. DAMO Company's high-quality products and services have brought remarkable results to the informatization construction of Henan Province's human resources and social security system.

Starting from the innovative development of the information technology industry, Professor Le Jiajin introduced the positive contributions made by domestic basic software and hardware manufacturers, mainly DAMO, in promoting the innovative development of Shanghai's information technology industry.

Interpreting industrial development and embracing future changes

Industry leaders are "debating on Mount Huashan" to determine who will dominate the future of the industry. As a feast of technology, this conference focuses on hot issues in current industrial development and is oriented to the future. Many heavyweight guests have been invited, including Le Jiajin, the founding dean, professor, and doctoral supervisor of the School of Computer Science and Technology of Donghua University, Chen Ximing, deputy general manager of China Electronics Information Industry Group, Feng Yucai, chairman of DAMO, Zuo Chun, chairman and president of ChinaSoft, and Gai Guoqiang, founder of Yunhe Enmo. They will have in-depth dialogues on topics such as the value of basic software under the background of new infrastructure, the development of the information technology innovation industry, and domestic innovation in high-end industries such as finance and energy. The current status and future development of domestic databases are deeply analyzed and interpreted from multiple aspects such as technological innovation, industrial integration, and ecological co-construction.

The craftsmanship and precision casting lived up to the expectation of the "attention" of the people and the ceremony was successfully completed

Adhere to craftsmanship and live up to expectations. At the end of the meeting, DAMO executives pressed the energy column, and four new products, DAMO Data Sharing Cluster (DMDSC), DAMO Cloud Database (DMCDB), DAMO Map Database (GDM), and DAMO's new generation distributed database, slowly appeared on the main screen. The screen finally froze at "Swords Unsheathed, Smart Future-2020 DAMO Innovative Product Launch Conference", and the conference came to a successful conclusion. Standing at a new starting point, DAMO will not forget its original intention, keep its mission in mind, adhere to independent innovation of core technologies, give full play to its industry-leading advantages, and join hands with upstream and downstream companies in the industrial chain to jointly write a new chapter in the cybersecurity industry!
