DILEMMA
DILEMMA
The traditional business systems within the power company, such as external portal systems, notification systems, indicator monitoring systems, maintenance systems, and operational platforms, originally relied on foreign databases like MySQL and Oracle. From the perspective of supply chain security, if external technology supply is interrupted, it would cause catastrophic damage to the company’s core business, posing a significant risk. Therefore, finding a reliable domestic database alternative has become an urgent task.
Against this backdrop, the power company launched migration verification testing for domestic databases in the second half of 2024, aiming to cope with the technological challenges in the digital transformation process and achieve independence and control over key technologies. MogDB, a commercial distribution database based on the openGauss open-source kernel, has come into the view of this power customer due to its enterprise-level characteristics of “stability and ease of use,” numerous successful cases, and advantages in ecological tools and supporting services.

Foundation for Business Stability: Robust Support for High-Concurrency Scenarios
The power industry is crucial to national economy and people’s livelihood, serving as one of the cornerstones for ensuring national security, social stability, and people’s lives. Therefore, the database products supporting its business systems need to possess high concurrency processing capabilities to ensure that during peak business periods, users can access and use services safely and stably anytime and anywhere. MogDB has achieved powerful high-concurrency processing capabilities through comprehensive optimization of database storage architecture and query links, ensuring the stable operation of its business systems during peak periods in testing.
Fault Response Strategy: Building a Rapid Recovery Mechanism
Fault recovery has been a major headache for this power customer. In the past, system fault recovery often required significant time and manpower investment, leading to prolonged business interruptions, numerous complaints, and even economic losses for the enterprise. MogDB has implemented capabilities such as autonomous fault detection, failover, and virtual IP automatic drift based on its self-developed MogHA high-availability component, reducing the database recovery time to seconds (RPO=0, RTO<30s), effectively ensuring the rapid recovery of business systems to normal operation. Meanwhile, the improvement in system stability has also reduced the maintenance and downtime costs caused by faults.
Data Security Protection: Comprehensive Safeguarding of Business Data
Since the power industry involves a large amount of sensitive information, such as user electricity consumption data and power grid operation data, data security is crucial and is regarded as the lifeline of the power industry. MogDB, with its strong data encryption, strict access control, and detailed audit logs, locks data in a “safe,” ensuring traceability of every operation and providing comprehensive security protection for the business systems of this power customer.
