Chinese technology giant Huawei, known for its smartphones and telecommunications equipment, is making further inroads into the enterprise IT market with a database product powered by machine learning.

The product will compete with popular database systems provided by IT's old-guard, including IBM, Oracle and Microsoft.

Huawei claims the system is the first to use machine learning to tune database performance, and that the self-tuning algorithm improves the process' performance by over 60 percent.

The database is named GaussDB and will be available as a service on local and private clouds. When running on Huawei's cloud platform, HUAWEI Cloud, GaussDB provides data warehouse services for a raft of customers, including financial, Internet, logistics, education, and automotive industries.

GaussDB is also compatible with both x86 and Arm processor architectures and leverages GPUs and neural processing units (NPUs).

The launch was first reported by The Information who cited sources saying GaussDB will be initially available in China, with worldwide coverage coming later.

    Huawei isn't sticking to their neat little box of cellular phone provisioning equipment, but is positioning itself to be a rival player in the enterprise IT market - where the U.S. bread and butter currently is. The U.S. let China have manufacturing because it was dominant in information technology services. Now China is developing independence of U.S. control and that is a national security crisis since there are too many eggs now in the services basket and we are learning from the trade war that attempting to wean ourselves off foreign trade hurts at least as much as it helps (tariffs).

    Which I would suspect is the real reason for the U.S. government attempting to poison the relationship of Huawei and the rest of the world, at which it has only been marginally successful. And perhaps they are right - the American Empire is indeed threatened by other countries learning to be digitally independent.

    Which is like having the tires made by your competitor because you are dominant in the engine department.

    Anyway: industrial revolution props up Europe, Europe raises USA and USSR and gets wasted, USA beats USSR and raises China and gets wasted, China raises Africa. Looks like a shell game.

      Or... yup. Plus ca change, plus la meme chose. Never the same and which is the next Empire to rule? Tune in next week! (as it probably won't be too much longer than that, relatively speaking...)
