Case Study: EastWest Bank achieves scalable, energy-efficient data center growth with Huawei

Data Center Solution Helps SE Asia Bank Grow

EastWest Bank, a fast-growing Philippine bank with more than 200 branches and customer service centers, needed to upgrade its network infrastructure as online banking services increased demand. Its existing IT environment was fragmented into silos, and expanding server and storage needs made centralized management difficult. To address these challenges, the bank turned to Huawei and its Data Center Solution, including CloudEngine data center switches.

Huawei implemented a new, scalable data center environment after detailed planning and migration testing, allowing EastWest Bank to run its old and new data centers simultaneously during transition. The solution improved virtualization, reliability, security, and network efficiency while reducing CAPEX and power consumption through advanced cooling and energy-saving features. Huawei’s Data Center Solution is designed to support EWB’s growth for the next 10 years, with core devices supporting a 5- to 8-year network lifecycle.
