Huawei Builds Bank Virtualized App Platform


Background

The People’s Bank of China, the central bank of the People’s Republic of China, controls monetary policy and regulates financial institutions, including financial risk prevention and resolution, statistics collection, bank card management, financial regulations formulation, and fraudulent money prevention.

Challenges

The bank’s original IT system ran the IT services using dual-socket servers. Since only one service could run on one server, an increasing number of servers were required to improve service performance. In this situation, the server resource usage rate was low. The bank planned to replace the original servers with higher-performance servers. As a result, IT services needed to be upgraded; service data needed to be migrated and stored as well.

The bank urgently needed a solution to resolve existing IT system issues, enhance IT system reliability, and improve the staff’s work efficiency.

Solution

Huawei introduced its data center IT system solution. With this solution, a virtualization system is installed on Huawei’s RH5885 V2 four-socket servers, and IT services are deployed on Virtual Machines (VMs). Huawei’s solution provides reliable, high-performance servers, improves server resource utilization, and service migration efficiency. This solution has the following features:

High Reliability and Performance

The RH5885 V2 generally runs mission-critical applications, such as databases and ERP. The solution features high performance, reliability, and scalability, and provides 35 RAS features to ensure stable system operations.

High Server Resource Utilization

Dozens of service VMs can run on one four-socket server, which makes full use of server hardware resources.

High Service Migration Efficiency

Application VMs are isolated from physical hardware. When a server is faulty or replaced, services can be seamlessly migrated to another server without stopping services. This enhances service continuity and reduces the workload for IT personnel.

The People’s Bank of China was very satisfied with Huawei’s solution, and decided to use this solution to upgrade its IT system. During four-socket server selection, Huawei recommended the RH5885 V2 four-socket rack server, which is developed based on the 32-socket server architecture technology and provides an outstanding virtualized computing platform. The RH5885 V2 offers the following features:

  • Supports up to 2 TB memory capacity to support more VMs, improving functional requirements of a virtualized system
  • Has 35 RAS features, supports hot-swap of server components such as hard disks, DIMMs, PCIe cards, fan modules, and PSUs, which ensures reliable, stable operations of the system and services
  • Provides superb performance to ensure the efficient operations of IT services, has multiple SPEC and TPC performance test world records, and has been rated by SAP as the fastest SAP HANA server
  • Has passed compatibility tests and official certification conducted by VMware, Citrix, and XEN virtualization system vendors

For the proof-of-concept tests, the Huawei RH5885 V2 four-socket server was highly recognized and finally chosen by the customer due to its high performance, reliability, and scalability.

Benefits

Huawei RH5885 V2 servers help build a stable, reliable, secure and convenient computing platform that also promotes sustainable, IT-based development for banking services. Additionally, the Huawei RH5885 V2 has large memory capacity and is a highly reliable, convenient computing platform for virtualization services.

  • Huawei’s solution doubles IT system deployment efficiency and enhances service performance by 30 percent.
  • The RH5885 V2 provides 35 RAS features to ensure reliable operations of mission-critical services.
