Challenge
Support and Protect Unstructured Data
Shandong Telecom, established in October 2002, is part of China Telecom, the state-owned telecommunication company. It is the largest fixed-line service and the third largest mobile telecommunications provider in the People’s Republic of China.
- All the unstructured data, such as call detail record (CDR), voice calls, scanned copies of financial files, and so forth, are in the tape library via Veritas NetBackup (NBU).
- Growing 4G traffic led to a massive increase in the volume of unstructured data, as well as an increase in purchasing costs of the backup software and tape library.
- Data backup and recovery was a long process. Plus, the data in the tape can’t be restored.
- The company needed to ensure business continuity of its key business systems, such as Management & Business Operation Supporting System (MBOSS).
Solution
Improve Data Protection, Implement Object Store
For greater data security and to manage rapid growth of unstructured data, Shandong Telecom moved from a tape library (NBU) to a Hitachi data protection and object storage solution:
- Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G1000 with global-active device and Hitachi Universal Replicator replicate the of core business system, including MBOSS.
- Hitachi Content Platform (HCP) replaces part of the existing Sun SL500 tape library to archive unstructured data.
- HCP uses S3 (Amazon Simple Storage Service) protocol to create an easy user interface for Shandong Telecom’s existing environment for easy and better adoption.
Since implementing the Hitachi Content Platform, we improved efficiency of backup and recovery by over 30%. We don’t worry about passing a KPI evaluation.
