In the financial heart of Tokyo sits the China Construction Bank Tokyo Branch (CCB Tokyo), which serves as a vital bridge linking two economies and cultures, facilitating a myriad of cooperation and business opportunities.
This is a comprehensive bank that has been operating in Japan for over 30 years, licensed for wholesale and retail banking. Its wholesale banking services include deposit, credit, trade financing, foreign exchange trading, fund clearing, international settlement, etc. The retail banking side focuses on individual pre-settlement activities, including individual deposit, remittance, transfer, foreign exchange trading, etc. The Osaka Branch was established in 2013, in order to better serve companies, institutions, and partners in Japan's Kansai region. It provides wholesale banking services such as deposit, loan, trade financing, and has also set up retail counters to provide deposit, remittance, and other retail services for individual customers.
CCB Tokyo is committed to China Construction Bank's business philosophy, which emphasizes a market-oriented and customer-centric approach. It is dedicated to optimizing products and services, strengthening risk management, and enhancing service quality. By coordinating with businesses in Japan and China, the branch provides customers with more convenient and comprehensive cross-border financial services, helping them expand beyond their home markets.
While operating two branch offices has been conducive to CCB Tokyo's market expansion and resource acquisition, it also brings complexity in data management. First, data needs to be transmitted and stored between the two cities, which increases the risk of unauthorized access or loss. Next, integrating scattered data from different locations poses a significant challenge, and effective integration and analysis is essential to support unified decision-making across the branches.
Data resilience and effective data management have always been key for financial institutions to stay ahead of the curve in the fierce market competition, and are also the top priority of their ICT infrastructure construction.
When it comes to ICT construction, CCB Tokyo acts as a skilled craftsman, meticulously tending to every aspect of data infrastructure and integrating requirements with business strategies to establish a robust data architecture.
After careful consideration, CCB Tokyo chose Huawei's desktop cloud appliance solution.
• CCB Tokyo refused to tolerate the inefficiency and waste of how things were done in the past and tried to make every minute counts. By leveraging the FusionCube all-flash hyper-converged architecture, the bank has reduced the startup time of office desktops by 30%.
• Based on the Huawei-developed eDME platform, computing, network, and storage resources in Tokyo and Osaka are managed in a unified manner. As a result, unified data backup and management, quick desktop provisioning, and fast fault demarcation and locating have now become a reality.
• In addition, thanks to the optimal inline deduplication and compression technologies, Huawei's storage cuts space requirements by 80% and boosts storage performance by two to three times compared with traditional storage solutions. In a city where space is famously in short supply, CCB Tokyo can now make the most of every inch of space while also maximizing the value of its data.
As night descends, the radiance of neon lights pours into dark spaces left empty by the retiring sunlight. The heartbeat of finance reverberates in step with the pulsing of the neon glow, marking time for the anthem of prosperity.
