Case Study: National Meteorological Information Center cuts IT costs and footprint with Huawei cloud platform

Weather Center Avoids Data Storms

China’s National Meteorological Information Center, affiliated with the China Meteorological Administration, needed to support multiple business divisions with more efficient IT infrastructure. Its traditional environment had long construction cycles, complex management, high space and energy costs, and poor resource sharing, all of which increased total cost of ownership. Huawei addressed these challenges with a cloud platform built on its E9000 blade servers and FusionSphere virtualization software.

Huawei’s solution unified management of computing, storage, and network resources, enabled shared and elastic resource allocation, and simplified IT operations. The result was faster deployment, better resource utilization, and lower costs: IT expenses were cut by 50%, the device footprint was reduced by 60%, and energy consumption dropped by 40%.
