Block- and file-level data storage is unified, requiring no

additional file engines, simplifying deployment, and

reducing purchase cost.

The efficiency of databases and file sharing services is

notably improved.

Two storage devices are required to provide SAN

and NAS services.

The efficiency of databases and file sharing

services cannot be maximized.


Convergence of SSDs and HDDs — On-demand performance

and capacity


HDD storage system SSD storage system HDD SSD

To choose large-capacity and cost-

effective traditional HDD storage

systems or to choose high-

performance SSD storage systems?

This is a question.

All-flash arrays are optimized to put the high performance

and low latency advantages of SSDs into full play.

HDDs and SSDs are converged to meet the performance

requirements of complex services.

Success stories


The only vendor engaged in the open platform construction

of ICBC in 2013

Customer Pain Points

Solution

Skyrocketing unstructured data posed an urgent

requirement on storage systems.

Massive unstructured data was stored in mid-range

and even high-end storage systems, resulting in low

return on investment (ROI).

The lifecycle management of service data needed to

be improved.

Employed OceanStor enterprise unified storage

systems to classify services in terms of service

levels and application environments.

Tiered storage resources and provided different

storage tiers for different services, improving data

lifecycle management.


Safeguarding Golden Auditing Project of China National

Audit Office


Solution

Central management and protection must be provided for

service data of China National Audit Office (NAO)'s Beijing

headquarters and its 18 resident offices.

Service data generated by NAO's functional departments

was structured data, and must be stored on storage systems

featuring high reliability and robust performance.

The storage systems must support unified storage and could

provide unified disaster recovery services for resident offices.

Employed OceanStor enterprise unified storage systems

that support innovative 32:1 shared disaster recovery to

provide CNAO's headquarters and its 18 resident offices with

flexible and ease-of-use shared disaster recovery services.

Provided specialized data disaster recovery test services

and helped the customer periodically test and authenticate

data in the disaster recovery center.


Assisting Hunan Local Taxation Bureau in tax reform


Solution

30 complex service systems were working at the same

time and must be remotely protected.

Service increase requirements in the next five years

must be met.

Employed intra-city disaster recovery to safeguard

customers' service data.

Leveraged OceanStor enterprise storage systems that

are scalable up to 7 PB to fit customers' long-term plans.

OceanStor enterprise storage systems ranked No.

1 in storage performance and could easily bear 30

service systems.


Safeguarding the social security data of 1.3 billion residents

in China


Solution

The personal data of China's 1.3 billion residents

must be kept for 200 years as required by the law.

It was estimated that social security data would

increase to petabytes in 2018 at an annual growth rate of

50%.

24/7 stable service running must be ensured.

Consolidated four major services of Ministry of

Human Resources and Social Security of the People's

Republic of China (MOHRSS) into one storage

system.

Enabled the four services to access the same data set,

improving the work efficiency by four times.


Optimizing China State Grid's D5000 intelligent dispatch system


Solution

Stable, secure, and normal operating of power grid

and reliable power supplies

Efficient, secure, and stable supervisory control

and data acquisition (SCADA) data
