Case Study: China State Administration of Taxation achieves stronger, more reliable tax data storage with Huawei OceanStor 18500

SAT Taxation Woes Tamed with OceanStor 18500

China State Administration of Taxation (SAT), a national tax collection agency in China, needed to upgrade its storage environment as taxpayer data and processing demands grew rapidly across provincial, municipal, and county levels. Its existing system was not scalable, struggled with performance and capacity, and lacked centralized management, while also needing stronger security and reliability for core tax service data. Huawei addressed these challenges with the OceanStor 18500 enterprise storage platform and OceanStor SNS3096 fiber-optic switch.

Huawei integrated the OceanStor 18500 into SAT’s existing infrastructure to unify storage resources, improve disaster recovery, and support smooth migration without disrupting operations. The solution delivered higher performance, better scalability, centralized management, and strong reliability, including 99.999% availability; Huawei also reported measurable benefits such as 15% IT investment savings for future disaster recovery expansion and a 20% reduction in TCO over three years.
