The results of the trials have proven that the N8500 meetsrequirements for an electronic archiving system. The N8500is different from the traditional NAS storage system in that itenables NAS engines to concurrently process the same lesystem data or service, signicantly improving the performancein reading and writing small les. In addition, the front-endand back-end congurations are exible, and various storageunits are available. We can customize a conguration solutionthat best suits our service needs to reduce the total cost ofNAS centralized procurement.

Agricultural Bank of China

Challenges

Existing storage systems cannot meet the need for massive le storage

Data volumes increase sharply but the existing storage capacitycannot be further expanded

A large amount of data needs to be archived. The prices of existingstorage devices greatly exceed the budget. A more cost-effective

image archiving solution is needed

Huawei Solution

One enterprise-class NAS storage system is deployed in each of 36branches for imaging applications

Three enterprise-class NAS storage systems are deployed in the

Beijing data center to provide resources for the development andoperation of multiple projects. The three systems are also used in thetest center for resource expansion and resource pool construction.Old devices will be upgraded or discarded

Customer Benets

The outstanding, exible architecture adapted to the rapid serviceand data growth, meaning the bank didn't need to purchase newdevices to support service growth, reducing procurement costs

The ability to manage massive les supports smooth operation of therecord imaging systems

Huawei's Virtual Tape Library (VTL) solution is reliableand cost-effective. This solution proves that Huaweideeply understands our demands and expectations.We believe that our cooperation with Huawei will bea big success.

Michael Taschuck,

Head of Database & Unix-Systems Production

Challenges

Data security vulnerabilities due to the absence ofgeographical redundancy in the existing VTL system

No global data deduplication functionality on thelegacy VTL equipment, making it impossible to set up ageographically redundant network

Poor backup performance of the legacy VTL equipment,taking too long for a full backup

Huawei Solution

Set up a hybrid local and geographical redundancy system.

Deployed two Huawei VTL6000s at data centers A and B

and implemented cross-site backup between them.Deployed two additional VTL6000s at geo-redundant datacenters and enabled them as backups for data centers Aand B

Customer Benets

Improved data reliability and protection due to thegeographical redundancy

Highly cost-effective due to storage capacity savings (about83%) and lower bandwidth consumption (about 90%)
