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.
