Case Study: Midea Group overcomes Big Data bottlenecks with Huawei OceanStor storage

OceanStor Relieves Big Data Bottlenecks

Midea Group, a major Chinese appliance manufacturer, was struggling with Big Data growth after its IT applications began overwhelming its existing NAS storage infrastructure. The bottlenecks were affecting application performance, limiting new service deployment, and creating a need for a scalable, secure, and cost-effective storage and disaster recovery platform. Huawei was selected to address these storage and business continuity challenges with its OceanStor enterprise storage solution.

Huawei implemented OceanStor 5600 V3 converged storage systems for both production and backup, along with remote replication to a separate DR site. The solution unified SAN and NAS, improved data tiering and load balancing, and supported future growth for 5 to 10 years; it also delivered measurable gains including 30% lower management costs, up to 40% higher storage utilization, 30% lower TCO, and replication reduced to seconds for faster failover readiness.
