About Datapps

Beijing Juyun Weizhi Information Technology Co., Ltd., operating as Datapps, was established in 2013 as an enterprise-level data warehouse technology service provider. The company was founded by a team with deep roots in database technology, including CEO Zhang Dehui, a Peking University Ph.D. with 19 years of experience at Bell-Labs and Teradata. He is joined by CTO Zhang Yuexiang, a Peking University master's graduate, and CIO Chen Guanhua, a Peking University postdoctoral fellow, both of whom also have extensive experience at firms like Teradata. This core team leveraged their average of over 15 years in database kernel technology to build the company from the ground up.

Datapps provides advanced big data products and solutions tailored for enterprise-level data warehouses, real-time decision-making, and artificial intelligence applications. The business targets large enterprises in sectors such as telecommunications, public security, aviation, military, and finance. Its revenue model is based on selling its proprietary database software systems and providing related services to these clients. The company has demonstrated consistent growth, securing multiple funding rounds, including a Series A in 2019, a Series B in 2021, and a B+ round in 2022 from investors like Fanatical Fund, CMB International Capital, and others.

The company's flagship product is a proprietary analytical database system, originally named Linkoop DB and later upgraded to ZettaBase. Unlike solutions built on existing open-source kernels like MySQL or PostgreSQL, Datapps developed its system from scratch, focusing on the specific needs of massive data processing and AI. ZettaBase provides a unified platform for managing and analyzing structured, unstructured, and streaming data. A key feature is its unified SQL interface that supports batch processing, real-time stream processing (SQL Stream), and AI calculations (SQL AI), simplifying development for complex applications. The system is designed with a separation of storage and computing architecture, allowing for dynamic resource allocation and significant performance improvements over traditional data warehouses, claiming to boost calculation speeds by up to 40%. It is fully compatible with domestic hardware and operating systems, positioning it as a key player in China's drive for technological self-reliance.
