Case Study: People’s Bank of China achieves a stable, secure, high-performance banking network with Huawei

IT Artery Pumps Up the Financial Sector

People’s Bank of China (PBC), China’s central bank, needed to modernize the Intranet that supports critical financial systems such as payment, credit reporting, treasury management, and office automation. As network traffic grew rapidly across headquarters and branches, core devices became overloaded and the existing WAN links needed an upgrade to keep the financial backbone stable, fast, and secure. Huawei worked with PBC to address these performance, scalability, and security challenges.

Huawei implemented an all-round network optimization using Huawei NE series high-end routers, including NE40E routers, to upgrade core routing, unify WAN transmission from SDH to ATM, and improve QoS and security policies. The result was a more stable and high-performance banking network with expanded switching capacity, better manageability and scalability, improved bandwidth expansion for future growth, and stronger security features such as ACL, HQoS, and URPF.
