Case Study: Peking University saves on big data research with Huawei RH5885 Servers

RH5885 Servers Save on Big Data Research

Peking University’s College of Information Science and Technology needed a high-performance platform for Big Data research and SAP HANA-based applications. As data volumes exploded, the team faced challenges around storage, management, and analysis of PB-scale data, while also requiring high-speed I/O, strong reliability, and SAP HANA certification.

Huawei implemented the RH5885 V2-based SAP HANA appliance solution to meet these demands. The platform delivered fast in-memory computing, high I/O performance, and strong reliability, with the ES3000 PCIe SSD helping boost appliance I/O performance by five times and reducing hardware investment by 60%; Huawei also noted the system had been operating reliably since 2013.
