Covering banking, securities, fund, insurance, and futures sectors, providing high-performance, high-availability IT operations management solutions for financial customers to ensure 7×24 stable operation of core business systems.
Agricultural Bank of China
Agricultural Bank of China's data centers in Beijing and Shanghai plus 34 provincial branch data centers have connected over 100,000 servers/storage devices in total, with numerous brands and models. The current manual management and inspection approach can no longer meet demand, with escalating operations costs and declining efficiency. An urgent unified platform is needed to achieve cross-vendor, cross-hardware-platform centralized monitoring and management across all bank data centers.
Bank of Communications
With the rapid development of customer business, the various types of equipment managed and maintained in data centers have reached over 10,000 units. The existing equipment management system has been in use for ten years, with outdated architecture and platform functions that can no longer meet current equipment management requirements.
CITIC Bank
With the development of CITIC Bank's information systems, the number of data center x86 server devices has gradually increased, and equipment management and maintenance workload has sharply risen. Currently, it mainly relies on manual on-site machine room operations, which are inefficient, resource-intensive, with low timeliness in fault discovery and prone to omissions.
Huatai Securities
Domestically-produced equipment in data center infrastructure is continuously increasing, with various Xinchuang resource products having many models. Equipment in the Xinchuang ecosystem has strong heterogeneity across different architectures, making unified management difficult, and the increase in Xinchuang equipment is also adding to equipment management workload.
Shenwan Hongyuan Securities
With the rapid development of securities business, the number of open platform servers in securities data centers is also growing rapidly. The company now owns thousands of various types and brands of equipment including X86 servers, storage devices, backup equipment, and storage fiber channel switches. The IT operations staffing has not grown proportionally.
Guosen Securities
With the development of Guosen Securities, the use of rack-mounted servers, blade servers and storage devices is increasing. Currently, servers from DELL, IBM, HP and other brands are in use, and Lenovo servers will be included in future procurement plans. According to the new data center construction plan, future data centers will tend toward unattended management mode.
CITIC Securities
As the company's business scale continues to expand, in addition to the headquarters machine room, the company has also built and leased hosted machine rooms in locations such as Jiuxianqiao, Shanghai Stock Exchange, and Shenzhen Stock Exchange. Core financial institution machine room equipment is mostly managed remotely, with only a small number of necessary operations personnel retained on-site.
GF Fund
Over the years, GF Fund's IT scale has been continuously expanding. In recent years, IT resource types and quantities have grown rapidly, presenting characteristics such as wide coverage, large resource quantities, complex interdependencies, and increasing management difficulty. Intelligent, automated, and visual operations have become current and future operations requirements.
EFund
As the number of core data center infrastructure devices gradually increases, the asset management workload brought by the device increase is also continuously growing, with maintenance costs increasing accordingly, and corresponding inspection time and labor costs rising as well.
China Merchants Fund
As the company's business continues to expand, investment in IT equipment continues to increase and quantities keep growing, with stability directly related to business quality and efficiency. In the current network architecture, network device management uses in-band management, with management traffic and business traffic sharing the same network, which has obvious deficiencies.
HTFF Fund
As fund business demand for digital transformation continues to increase year by year, system complexity is also growing, which invisibly increases the difficulty of IT system operation, maintenance and management. With insufficient IT staffing, and fund companies continuously exploring areas such as big data analysis and quantitative investment, business dependency on IT systems is getting stronger.
PICC
The PICC server management system project plans to procure a management system mainly to meet the IT equipment monitoring needs of machine rooms at various locations of the headquarters. System monitoring objects include minicomputers, storage devices, PC servers, tape libraries, fiber channel switches and other equipment hardware health status. The operations team is small but manages over 13,000 devices, with numerous brands and models including IBM, HP, EMC, DELL, CISCO, HDS, H3C, Maipu, F5 and Lenovo.
Cigna & CMB
In 2020, the customer built the CloudSino iBSM IT infrastructure operations monitoring platform to monitor and manage server hardware, storage, network devices, virtual cloud products, server systems, database software, middleware, and system application services in the company machine rooms. Establishing a complete, stable, high-availability, high-performance IT infrastructure operations monitoring platform system.
Founder Futures
Founder Futures data center carries a large amount of heterogeneous IT infrastructure, covering multi-brand servers, storage, network switches, routers, hyper-converged systems, firewalls, VPNs, load balancers, and various security audit devices. Currently, operations use multiple scattered independent management tools, with problems such as weak unified device management capability, high manual inspection pressure, inaccurate asset ledgers, and lack of quantified energy consumption monitoring.
