Since the issuance of the "14th Five-Year Plan for the Development of the Digital Economy" in 2022, China's digital development has been driving on the expressway. As the basic software for data storage and calculation, database is crucial to build a solid base for digital economy. The server is an important carrier for carrying data, and the cooperation and connection between the database and the server have become closer and closer as the performance of the database can be improved without ceiling through expansion.

　　AsiaInfo Technologies (China) Co. Ltd.( abbreviated as AsiaInfo Technologies) and Inspur Power Commercial Systems Co., Ltd (abbreviated as Inspur) recently completed the mutual compatibility certification of AntDB 7.0 and Inspur K1 Power server, and joined hands to create a joint solution with higher resource utilization, more flexible deployment and better performance. Together, they will enable the digital transformation of key industries such as communication, finance, transportation, energy, and IoT.

　　15-year experience in the industry

　　Fast and stable AntDB

　　AsiaInfo is a leading provider of software products, solutions and services, committed to becoming an enabler of digital transformation for large enterprises. AntDB started in 2008. On the core system of operators, AntDB provides online services for more than 1 billion users in 24 provinces across the country. With product features such as high performance, elastic expansion and high reliability, AntDB can process one million core communications transactions per second at peak, ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the system for nearly ten years, and is successfully implemented for commercial purpose in communication, finance, transportation, energy, Internet of Things and other industries.

　　AntDB has the following four features:

　　· Amount - A huge number of users. More than 1 billion mobile phone owners using AntDB in the background.

　　· History - A history of solid implementation. AntDB has gone through 15 years of trials and tribulations since its implementation in billing system in 2008.

　　· Speed - Fast execution performance. All the call records and every message first sent on the Internet in the telecom business need the support of AntDB in the background, and AntDB can which can handle millions of core telecom transactions per second at its peak.

　　· Stability - Stable and reliable products. AntDB has been running smoothly safely in the core system of telecom operators for more than ten years.

Figure2: functional architecture of AntDB

　　AntDB is a home-grown and independent distributed database with multi-tenant and high performance, which aims to provide one-stop solutions for OLTP (Online Transactional Processing) and OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) scenarios, with automatic high availability, online elastic scaling, kernel-level read/write separation and other features. It supports SQL2016 standard, provides petabyte-level data processing capabilities of high concurrency, high throughput and low latency, and facilitates smooth migration of applications from Oracle to AntDB.

　　AntDB also has the advantages as follows:

　　 · HTAP mixed load: AntDB is a universal, enterprise-level distributed relational database, which integrates transaction processing and online analysis operation, and supports the operation of daily flow and decision-making business of enterprise reports.

　　· Extensive syntax compatibility: It adopts the advanced multi-modal compatible SQL engine, supports SQL 2016 standard, and is compatible with the SQL syntax of foreign mainstream databases.

　　· One-click data migration: AntDB provides a one-click data migration tool, which can proactively determine migration risk points and make optimization adjustments, greatly reducing migration workload and migration risks.

　　· Online elastic scaling: AntDB can expand its capacity as the data grows, and support automatic data redistribution with 0 change. It only needs to add more machines to meet business growth needs, and the application layer does not need to care about storage capacity and throughput.

　　· Kernel-level read/write separation: AntDB routes the read traffic to the slave node and the write traffic to the master node at the kernel level, so as to efficiently deal with the traffic load during peak. This can multiply the data throughput performance of the system.

　　· Reliable data security: AntDB can quickly detect cluster anomalies and automatically repair them. RPO=0 and second-level RTO ensure service continuity.

　　First choice of core applications

　　Inspur K1 Power server

　　With the technical accumulation in the field of high-end server system design, combined with the advantages of performance, function and reliability of Power processor, Inspur Commercial Machinery develops, produces and sells Inspur K1 Power series products with both vertical and horizontal scaling features for domestic market and the "Belt and Road" market. It provides customers with customized, safe and reliable holistic solutions, as well as professional and prompt software and technical support .

　　With its excellent features, Inspur K1 Power server provides stable, reliable, secure and efficient hardware infrastructure platform for enterprises’ core business. Its valuable features of hardwares are as follows:
