Gao Qianying, VP of Enterprise Service Solution, said in a blog post, "The resilience of financial data centres needs to be considered from the perspective of planning, construction, and daily operations. This includes the overall architecture design that can support smooth evolution, data migration that does not affect service operations, secure and reliable disaster recovery (DR) management, risk prediction and detection, accurate fault location, and quick processing. The digital and intelligent services enhance the resilience of financial data centres and ensure robust service operations."

A digital intelligence financial services solution, covering the lifecycle of planning, construction, operation, and optimisation, was also introduced. The solution brings together Huawei solutions like Netlive, its intelligent disaster recovery management platform (iDRP), and the Huawei Smart Network Operation Service (NOS) to help build resilient financial data centres. The NetLive platform helps users evaluate the durability of live networks, providing resilience visualisations, and help financial institutions better understand and improve network infrastructure resilience.

Michael Fan, VP, Huawei Data Storage Product Line, said that Huawei will remain focused on the challenges facing its financial sector customers in the AI era with the new OceanStor A800 high-performance storage, OceanStor Pacific 9550 scale-out storage, all-flash OceanProtect E8000 Appliance, and the Omni-Dataverse global file system. The OceanProtect appliance offers ransomware protection with network-storage capabilities. These solutions combine to build an AI data lake with performance, capacity, and data protection pools for higher agility and resilience.

Huawei also introduced several case studies. Bank D, for example found that the I/O performance of its data storage deteriorated after running for a long time. Problems occurred frequently with the accumulated potential risks, affecting the experience for users. They sought a solution that could ensure stability and better quality of service.

Huawei identified and eliminated more than 90% of potential risks and improved operations and maintenance (O&M) efficiency by about 30%. Thanks to the support of the VIP technical assistance centre (TAC) frontline and remote expert team, the customer's mean time to repair (MTTR) for major issues went down by 75%.

In another real-life scenario, Bank A's core banking service had been running for many years. Due to the complex logical relationships between core applications, outdated devices, and high incident risks, their existing data centre could not meet the DR management requirements for remote data switchback. Bank A was reluctant to initiate DR switchovers, accumulating incident risks.

After consulting and planning, integration implementation, and DR drills, Huawei took the lead in building a complete geo-redundant DR solution for bank A. The solution quickly detects and makes decisions on data centre-level DR events and implements agile switchover.

Huawei has served over 3,600 financial customers in more than 60 countries and regions, including 53 of the world's top 100 banks.
