DAMENGs 2026 Hong Kong New Product Launch Event Concludes Successfully
Summary
DAMENG held a Hong Kong product launch on May 15, 2026, to reveal DM9, its upgraded database management system, and DAMENG PAI, a next-generation converged database appliance, as part of its global expansion plan. DM9 introduces a fully upgraded kernel with major performance gains (e.g., TPCC single-node +100%, distributed +350%; TPCH single-node +126%, distributed +150%) and more than 450 feature upgrades across performance, availability, compatibility, security, and multimodal support. DAMENG PAI emphasizes extreme-speed storage (starting at 12 million IOPS), tiered storage with GPU/vector retrieval for 10x vector search improvements, an in-storage compute engine that accelerates 2-billion-row scans by 50x, and full RDMA/user-space I/O to cut latency. The company also presented an AI-era roadmap (in-database inference, heterogeneous acceleration, domain-specific small models) and showcased Hong Kong deployments and validated POCs demonstrating government migration and real-time synchronization capabilities.
