For long, LeaseWeb has been regarding reducing server energy consumption and high-quality

customer service as its core competence. Therefore, LeaseWeb is highly demanding on the energy

efficiency and reliability of servers. Huawei has been a constant innovator in the server field and

established professional R&D and design capabilities in equipment, interconnection, chip, energy

efficiency, and heat dissipation. Huawei's high-quality servers passed LeaseWeb's strict energy

efficiency and reliability tests. At the CeBIT 2014 hosted in Hanover, Germany in March 2014,

LeaseWeb and Huawei signed a strategic cooperation agreement. The two companies would start

a dedicated Huawei server hosting project (thousands of Huawei servers purchased in the first

phase) and engage in product innovation in the server field.

9.4 Huawei Storage Greatly Improves Program Production Efficiency of CCTV

CCTV is the largest TV station in China. After the Ya'an earthquake took place in April 2013,

CCTV planned a special program to introduce major earthquakes that happened around the globe

in recent years. During the program production, editors in CCTV suffered a low access efficiency

of their traditional media library which provided data access through online, nearline, and offline

storage. It took over 30 minutes for them to invoke historical data, greatly slowing down the

program playout. In September 2013, CCTV chose Huawei's innovative 1.5-level media library

solution that accelerated online media library access by employing virtual view, RAID 2.0+, and

SmartCache technologies. It used to take 5 minutes to obtain 50% of historical data, while now 80%

of historical data can be obtained in 5 seconds, an efficiency improvement of 60+ times, ensuring

punctual program broadcast.

9.5 Huawei All-Flash Array Doubles Database Performance of Shanghai

Customs

Shanghai Customs is the largest port for foreign trade in China. In 2013, Shanghai Customs

processed over 200,000 customs clearance applications. Each midnight, the system spent up to 7.5

hours collecting and analyzing the applications generated on the previous day, almost completely

occupying the data analysis and backup time window from 00:30 to 08:00. This time-consuming

process delayed the customers clearance service on the present day. In September 2013, Shanghai

Customs deployed Huawei's all-flash array Dorado5100 to accelerate its database. The time spent

on data collection and analysis shrank from 7.5 hours to 3.6 hours without changing upper-layer

applications. With a doubled efficiency, the customs clearance service on the second day now

proceeds smoothly.

9.6 Huawei All-Flash Array Helps Germany's GEMA Improve Operating

Efficiency

Germany GEMA is the largest musical rights publisher in Europe. GEMA operated its businesses

mainly on an online music platform, which ran on an Oracle database and employed a traditional

disk array. The platform saved 64,000 entries of property rights information and information about

millions of users. In 2013, GEMA's businesses grew quickly, but the database's performance

became increasingly lower, not only impeding GEMA's operating efficiency, but also affecting

customer satisfaction. In early 2014, GEMA replaced its existing disk array with Huawei's

all-flash array Dorado5100, which boosted the database performance by 7 times and greatly

improved customer satisfaction, without changing the upper-layer applications.

9.7 Huawei Desktop Cloud Helps Saudi Arabia's TVTC Build the Most

Influential Training Organization in Middle East

Saudi Arabia TVTC is an organization that provides nation-wide vocational education and training,

with 142 technical schools, 250 training labs, and 65 vocational training centers. To reduce IT

purchase and O&M costs, TVTC planned to deploy desktop clouds to replace existing PC systems

for all its training branches. The project tender was open to all vendors, and all mainstream

vendors participated. In the end, Huawei's E2E desktop cloud solution was recognized by TVTC

because of its excellent audio/video experience, sound security, and centralized, unified O&M. In

2014, Huawei will deliver over 10,000 cloud desktops, which will save more than 30% of TCO

than TVTC's existing PC systems.

9.8 Huawei Cloud Computing Solution Builds a Cloud IT Resource Pool for

State Grid

State Grid is the largest electric power company in the world. In 2013, State Grid had over 62,000

information systems. However, its stovepipe construction mode resulted in a server utilization of

less than 30%. Resource waste, repeated procurement, and growing energy consumption became

pronounced problems. To resolve these problems, State Grid introduced the cloud-centric concept

of "building centralized IT infrastructure service" and started looking for virtualization software.

In July 2013, HUAWEI FusionSphere stood out among competitor products with the highest test

results (performance, pressure, and stability), thanks to its comprehensive computing, storage, and

network virtualization and E2E software and hardware optimization capabilities. Finally, State

Grid chose Huawei as one of its two virtualization software suppliers. In the next two years, State

Grid will deploy Huawei's FusionSphere systems in data centers of its six Northeaster and

Northwestern provincial companies. The FusionSphere systems can cloudify up to over 30,000

servers, improve server resource utilization by 30%, reduce new server purchase by over 30%

YOY, and save 27 million yuan on energy consumption.

9.9 Huawei FusionCube Greatly Raises Service Quality of Hong Kong's

Infocast

Infocast is a celebrated financial information service provider in Hong Kong. To further improve

the competence of Hong Kong's securities market, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange initiated the

Orion Market Data (OMD) program, aiming to greatly improve the access speed when its

customers conduct securities transaction. Meanwhile, each financial service provider needed to

deploy an IT system to connect to the OMD platform. In March 2014, Infocast deployed Huawei's

FusionCube system to connect to the OMD platform. Deeply converging computing, storage, and

network, FusionCube supports innovative distributed storage and concurrent connections 50%

higher than the industry's average. In addition, the processing latency is as low as 40 ms, meeting

the latency requirement of Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

9.10 Huawei Cloud Data Center Helps Step Up Global Business Development

of Phoenix TV

Phoenix is a leading global Chinese media company. In 2012, Phoenix TV built the Phoenix

International Media Center, which would scale up to global "2+7" cloud data centers. The center

would provide multiple ICT applications and services including program production, media asset,

OA, enterprise communication, and IT resource leasing. Phoenix TV faced huge challenges in

construction cost, resource utilization, and service response. As Phoenix TV's partner in the ICT

field, Huawei provided data center consulting, planning, and designing services and designed a

future-oriented cloud data center architecture as opposed to the traditional stovepipe IT

construction mode. Huawei also offered innovative solutions in computing and storage, network

and security, and cloud operating system. These solutions saved over 20% construction cost,

improved server resource utilization to 60%, and implemented minute-level IT capacity

expansion.

9.11 Huawei Builds a Highly Cost-effective Service Disaster Recovery System

for China Huaneng

Huaneng is the largest power generation group in China. In recent years, a critical IT application

of Huaneng encountered an incident and caused service interruption twice, prompting Huaneng to

build a disaster recovery system for its data center. However, Huaneng's IT system mainly

consisted of midrange computers and high-end storage systems. If the disaster recovery system

adopted the same types of devices, the expenses would be high. In September 2013, Huawei

reviewed Huaneng's existing IT applications and proposed a service continuity and disaster

recovery solution, which later was accepted by Huaneng. In this solution, the disaster recovery of

applications with a high utilization and those with a low utilization was based on midrange

computers and x86 servers, respectively. The disaster recovery of storage systems was based on

heterogeneous devices. Compared with solutions of other vendors, Huawei's solution saved TCO

by over 50% on the same reliability level.

9.12 Huawei MicroDC Solution Enables Unattended IT System Maintenance for

Netherlands' Amazing Oriental

Amazing Oriental is the largest Asian food franchised supermarket in Europe. For a long time,

Amazing Oriental had been facing difficulties with IT infrastructure construction for its branch

stores, including professional equipment room shortage, long product supply periods, and complex

onsite equipment connection and commissioning. The IT construction for one branch store could

take as long as 90 days. Meanwhile, each time a fault occurred, engineers had to rectify the fault

onsite due to a lack of unified remote maintenance, severely affecting branch store operating. In

2013, Amazing Oriental chose HUAWEI MicroDC solution to transform its IT infrastructure in

branch stores. By pre-integrating power supply, environment monitoring, networks, and servers,

the MicroDC solution shortened the IT construction period to one week. In addition, as MicroDC

provided remote monitoring and maintenance, branch stores did not need to be attended onsite and

fault rectification time decreased by 80%.
