Case Study: State Grid Corporation of China boosts power grid security and efficiency with Huawei servers

SGCC Picks Huawei to Upgrade Power Grid

State Grid Corporation of China (SGCC), the world’s largest state-owned electric utility, needed to upgrade its critical smart grid dispatching system while maintaining compatibility with its existing x86 server + Linux infrastructure. The challenge was to ensure extremely high security, reliability, and performance for the D5000 automated dispatching platform, which supports real-time telemetry, telecommand, and fast dispatch operations across the power grid.

Huawei worked with SGCC to implement a solution built around Tecal RH2485 V2 rack servers, Tecal E6000 Blade Server Chassis, and OceanStor S5600T storage. The upgraded platform improved security and compatibility, helped reduce maintenance costs by 30%, cut equipment footprint by 50%, and lowered energy consumption by 10%, while supporting SGCC’s demanding availability and performance requirements.
