Case Study: Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality achieves zero downtime for critical services with Huawei Cloud Data Centers

Huawei Cloud Data Centers Empower South Africa EMM’s Critical Services to Achieve Zero Downtime

The Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality (EMM), a major South African government entity, needed to ensure zero data loss and absolutely zero service downtime for its 30+ core applications. Their challenge was to find a highly reliable, automated solution for disaster recovery that would protect critical public services without increasing operational manpower. They turned to Huawei for a solution.

Huawei implemented an active-active and active-standby architecture using its OceanStor 6800 V3 storage and FusionSphere platform. This solution provided comprehensive service continuity, ensuring zero data loss and downtime. The implementation also included a visualized management platform that boosted operational efficiency and significantly reduced both power consumption and ongoing maintenance requirements for the municipality.
