The DM8 is a next-generation database developed by Dameng Database Co. Ltd. The database was created utilizing the company’s experience in the R&D and application of its past DM product series and in adherence to its core concepts of openness, innovation, simplicity and practicality.
The DM8 adopts the advantages of current advanced new technology concepts and mainstream database products, fusing the strengths inherent in distributed, elastic computing and cloud computing to achieve large-scale improvements in flexibility, usability, reliability, security and other aspects. Its diversified architecture fully meets the requirements for various scenarios, supports super large-scale concurrent transaction processing and transaction-analysis hybrid service processing, and the dynamic allocation of computing resources. This then facilitates more refined resource utilization and lower investment costs.
A single database that satisfies a multitude of user requirements, allowing them to focus more of their energy on business development.
DM8 uses unique dual-storage engine architecture: a row storage engine and a column storage engine that can cooperate and work together. At the same time, this helps allow the separation of the computing layer and storage layer, while the same kernel supports both shared storage clusters and distributed transaction clusters. Compared to current mainstream product architecture—where different features rely on different kernels to achieve this—DM8’s architecture is an industry first and the future of database architecture.
