Case Study: Sichuan Local Taxation Bureau achieves zero‑downtime, high‑availability tax infrastructure with Hitachi Vantara

Sichuan’s Golden Tax Project Builds a Stable, Secure and Reliable Infrastructure With Hitachi Solutions

Sichuan Local Taxation Bureau needed a fast, highly available and performance‑based storage platform to support phase III of China’s Golden Tax Project across hundreds of offices without service disruption or data migration. The bureau chose Hitachi Vantara’s Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform (VSP) G1000 with the global‑active device feature and Hitachi’s storage virtualization software to protect its core tax system and deliver continuous, distributed access.

Hitachi Vantara implemented an active‑active VSP G1000 cluster that cross‑mirrors volumes for synchronous read‑write access across sites, consolidating storage into a single pooled solution. The deployment went live in eight days (saving up to 40 days versus migration), delivered zero downtime/zero recovery time and submillisecond performance at petabyte scale, and reduced administrative overhead while improving data protection, availability and overall business continuity.
