Huawei Cloud Strengthens Singapore's Digital Future with GaussDB and DataArts
May 08, 2025
[Singapore, May 8, 2025] Huawei Cloud today hosted Huawei Cloud Fusion: The Next Frontier in Big Data & Database Innovation Forum, under the theme "Huawei Cloud Database, A Better Database for an Intelligent Future." In collaboration with local customers and partners, Huawei introduced its latest database and big data solutions aimed at empowering public and private sectors across Singapore to leverage distributed database technologies and accelerate digital transformation.
Driving the Era of Cloud with Data-Centric Innovation
Steven Li, Senior Vice President of Marketing & Solutions at Huawei Cloud Singapore, delivered the opening keynote. He remarked, "We are living in a cloud and intelligence era. Data is no longer just the new oil—it is the foundation of innovation, decision-making, and competitive advantage. However, as data volumes grow exponentially and applications become increasingly complex, traditional systems are being pushed to their limits. The challenge is no longer simply storing data, but harnessing it intelligently, scalably, and reliably to drive transformative outcomes."

He added, "Aligned with Singapore's Smart Nation 2.0 initiative, Huawei Cloud is proud to introduce cloud-native databases such as GaussDB, TaurusDB and GeminiDB. These solutions offer high performance and reliability, along with elasticity and intelligence-driven optimization. We're also exploring the powerful convergence of data and intelligence— where high-quality governance, unified workspaces, and large models are unlocking entirely new possibilities for businesses."
Huawei Cloud Database, A Better Database for an Intelligent Future
Hao Zhang, Director, Huawei Cloud Database Product Management, detailed Huawei Cloud Databases have achieved remarkable breakthroughs across multiple key aspects, including performance, availability, scalability, and intelligent operation and maintenance (O&M).

One of the most notable achievements of Huawei Cloud Databases is its breakthrough in performance. Leveraging a three-layer pooling architecture, GaussDB has been dramatically enhanced, improving its performance by two-fold. This innovative architecture allows for more efficient resource allocation and utilization, enabling GaussDB to handle large-scale data processing and complex workloads with ease.
Intelligent scaling is another pioneering feature that makes TaurusDB stand out. Powered by advanced algorithms, TaurusDB is able to automatically predict and adapt to changing workloads, ensuring optimal resource utilization at all times. This not only improves performance and efficiency but also reduces costs by eliminating the need for over-provisioning of resources.
Since 2001, Huawei Cloud Databases have been under development for over 20 years, and it has been fully validated in practical applications. For example, one of the world's top banks used GaussDB to transform legacy databases supporting over 220 core business systems.
Unleash New Business Value with Convergence
David Sanchez Plaza, Chief Data Analytics Solution Architect at Huawei Cloud, introduced how businesses can unlock new value using Huawei Cloud's Data Intelligence platform, DataArts.
