Building an Analyst Platform for a Smart, Open, Digital ICBC


Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) developed their financial big data and AI system under the guidance of the "One Bank" and "Digital ICBC" strategies, building a bid data service ecosystem with that integrates technologies, data, and services. On June 30, 2019, ICBC migrated workloads from their appliance-based data warehouse to the big data service cloud based on Huawei's converged data platform.


This migration brings a new smart engine and marks ICBC's leading position in the financial industry in building a digital world.


GaussDB(DWS) keeps evolving, using cutting-edge technologies to help ICBC build an industry-leading open platform for data convergence.

Solution

Core data warehouses and data marts are constructed based on GaussDB(DWS), providing enterprise-grade multi-tenancy and resource isolation capabilities to support batch processing and hybrid load of online services.

An independent analyst platform is deployed. It has 480 nodes in a single cluster, responding to the analysis requests from more than 13,000 analysts in real time. R&D efficiency is significantly improved.

A converged data analysis solution is developed based on GaussDB(DWS) and FusionInsight MRS. Structured and unstructured data is integrated to facilitate management. Real-time, quasi-real-time, minute-level, and hour-level computing are supported.

AI and knowledge graphs enables the data platform to evolve to a big data & AI platform.
