3 Government & Public Huawei OceanStor Storage Shines at CERN Over 25 PB of annual data growth High reliability and cross-region data sharing Long-term data storage and maximum total cost of ownership Applies UDS' EB-level storage capacity to meet growing data storage requirements Applies multiple data copies to enhance reliability of service data Reduced OPEX by 45% % reliability with no data loss Distributed architecture and EB-level storage capacity to meet storage requirements for the following 40 years CERN is reaching the technological limits for resourceintensive simulation and analysis. Our collaboration with Huawei showed us an exciting new approach, where their novel architecture extends our capabilities in preparation for the exascale data rates and volumes we expect in the future. Bob Jones, Head of CERN openlab.

4 Government & Public The University of Lübeck Turns to Huawei Enterprise to Power Server Virtualization A high-performance storage solution was required for VMware server infrastructure virtualization to ensure 24/7 service operation OceanStor S5500T storage solution with a 25 TB capacity (SAS and SATA hard disks) Significant performance improvement High reliability and uptime Easy integration with VMware In terms of quality, performance, and efficiency, Huawei offered the best solution. The storage solution was tailored to our needs in performance, scalability, and optimal integration with VMware. Dipl.-Inf. Helge Illig, Director of the IT Service Center at the University of Lübeck

5 FSI ICBC Banks Improves Efficiency with Huawei OceanStor Storage Exploding demand for storage due to growth of unstructured data, such as electronic files and OA Low ROI resulting from using mid-range and high-end storage devices to store large amounts of unstructured data Incomplete ILM due to lack of nearline storage Deployed about 130 Huawei OceanStor S2600 systems Introduced nearline storage to improve ILM for Meets requirements for storing business data at ICBC's 31 tier-1 branches and 5 centrally-managed branches Reduced purchase cost by up to 35% and maintenance cost by up to 40% Meets ILM requirements for ICBC's business data We chose Huawei because Huawei OceanStor S2600 is the most cost-effective among competing devices. Huawei has a solid track record in developing products and solutions and providing in-time globalized services, helping ICBC manage and maintain its data center.

6 FSI Agricultural Bank of China Constructs an Economical and Efficient Image Archiving System with Huawei Existing storage systems cannot meet the need for massive file storage Data volumes increase sharply but the existing storage capacity cannot be further expanded A large amount of data needs to be archived. The prices of existing storage devices greatly exceed the budget. A more cost-effective image archiving solution is needed One enterprise-class NAS storage system is deployed in each of 36 branches for imaging applications Three enterprise-class NAS storage systems are deployed in the Beijing data center to provide resources for the development and operation of multiple projects. The three systems are also used in the test center for resource expansion and resource pool construction. Old devices will be upgraded or discarded The outstanding, flexible architecture adapted to the rapid service and data growth, meaning the bank didn't need to purchase new devices to support service growth, reducing procurement costs The ability to manage massive files supports smooth operation of the record imaging systems The results of the trials have proven that the N8500 meets requirements for an electronic archiving system. The N8500 is different from the traditional NAS storage system in that it enables NAS engines to concurrently process the same file system data or service, significantly improving the performance in reading and writing small files. In addition, the front-end and back-end configurations are flexible, and various storage units are available. We can customize a configuration solution that best suits our service needs to reduce the total cost of NAS centralized procurement. Agricultural Bank of China

7 FSI Huawei OceanStor Storage Safeguards CSS Insurance Data security vulnerabilities due to the absence of geographical redundancy in the existing VTL system No global data deduplication functionality on the legacy VTL equipment, making it impossible to set up a geographically redundant network Poor backup performance of the legacy VTL equipment, taking too long for a full backup 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 data centers and enabled them as backups for data centers A and B Improved data reliability and protection due to the geographical redundancy Highly cost-effective due to storage capacity savings (about 83%) and lower bandwidth consumption (about 90%) Huawei's Virtual Tape Library (VTL) solution is reliable and cost-effective. This solution proves that Huawei deeply understands our demands and expectations. We believe that our cooperation with Huawei will be a big success.
