SequoiaDB

SequoiaDB (Chinese: 巨杉数据库) is a Chinese software manufacturer specializing in the research and development of distributed database technology. Operating under the legal entity Guangzhou Sequoia Software Development Co., Ltd., the company was established in 2012 and has dedicated itself to building a native distributed database engine from scratch. Its stated vision is to become a global leader in the database industry, with a mission to explore the fertile ground of data and unleash its full value, focusing on proprietary foundational software. The company's core product is the SequoiaDB distributed document-oriented database, complemented by SequoiaCM. SequoiaDB positions itself around several service scenarios: Real-Time Data Lake, Multi-Model Data Lake, Personalization, and Mainframe Offloading, and it also presents a Lakehouse offering. The technology is designed to address the limitations of traditional relational databases, which are built for structured data and struggle with the flexible data structures required by AI applications. SequoiaDB therefore concentrates on semi-structured and unstructured data foundation technologies, which it argues are crucial for future AI application development. SequoiaDB has been widely adopted in banking, insurance, securities, new energy, government, and other industries. According to the company, its database is used in the production systems of more than 100 banks on a large scale. It highlights large-scale practice in banking production systems, citing a single cluster supporting a maximum of 500 physical servers, a maximum storage capacity of 3.0 PB, and management of up to 1.4 trillion rows of records, along with remote disaster recovery service achieving RPO = 0 seconds and RTO < 15 seconds. In 2017, SequoiaDB became one of the first Chinese vendors to be included in Gartner's database reports, and it has consistently been recognized in authoritative reports by Gartner, IDC, Forbes, KPMG, and other internationally renowned institutions. Its website notes that it was selected by DBMS Reviews - Gartner for three consecutive years. The company continues to focus on distributed technology and customer practice to support AI-era data infrastructure needs.

SequoiaDB was established in 2012 as Guangzhou Sequoia Software Development Co., Ltd., a domestic Chinese software manufacturer specializing in distributed database technology. From its founding, the company dedicated itself to the research and development of database products, persistently building a native distributed database engine from scratch rather than relying on existing engines. In 2017, SequoiaDB became one of the first Chinese vendors to be included in Gartner's database reports. This recognition marked an important milestone for the company, and it has since been consistently recognized in authoritative reports by Gartner, IDC, Forbes, KPMG, and other internationally renowned institutions. Its website notes that it was selected by DBMS Reviews - Gartner for three consecutive years. Over the years, SequoiaDB has been widely used in banking, insurance, securities, new energy, government, and other industries. The company reports that its database is used in more than 100 banks' production systems on a large scale.

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, new demands emerged for database technology. Traditional relational databases, designed for structured data, struggle to meet the flexible data structure requirements of AI applications. SequoiaDB responded by focusing, through years of technical accumulation and the application of distributed technology, on constructing semi-structured and unstructured data foundation technologies. The company positions these technical features as crucial for the development of future AI applications, addressing the technical deficiencies of traditional relational databases and providing robust support for AI applications. Through years of customer practice, SequoiaDB has continued to commit to these goals.
