Case Study: Hi3G Sweden achieves 50% lower TCO with Huawei Active-Active Storage Solution

Huawei Active-Active Storage Solution Ensures Business Continuity for Hi3G Sweden

Hi3G Sweden, a major Swedish telecom carrier, was facing significant challenges with its aging storage infrastructure. Their existing system was nearing end-of-warranty, suffering from high failure rates and serious performance bottlenecks caused by its gateway appliances. This resulted in unreliable service, high latency, and a complex, costly operation. To address this, they turned to vendor Huawei for a solution using the Huawei OceanStor active-active storage system.

Huawei implemented its gateway-free active-active storage solution, which provided a highly reliable architecture to ensure 24/7 operations. The solution eliminated performance bottlenecks by removing the gateways and employing acceleration methods like SmartTier and SmartCache. As a result, Hi3G Sweden achieved a 300% increase in storage performance, a 50% reduction in operational costs (TCO), and a 50% improvement in operational efficiency for core services like report generation.
