the core system is the most important business system of an enterprise. the mainframe guarantees the stable operation of the core business with its extreme reliability, availability and maintainability. it is widely used in finance, telecommunications, aviation and other fields, and is also regarded asthe core of the coreas the cloudification process of the entire industry continues to deepen, the cloudification of core systems has become the last piece of the puzzle for comprehensive cloudification and the only way to achieve comprehensive intelligence.
in recent years, enterprises represented by banks have continued to promote the evolution from host core to cloud core to respond to market changes more agilely. however, the overall upgrade and evolution of the core system to a cloud-based architecture is a huge challenge, involving hardware, software, security, operation and maintenance, tuning, and tools. it is a software and hardware collaborative, end-to-end system engineering.
huawei has been working with leading customers to explore technologies and services for host cloud migration, and this year established a host cloud migration team to gather the company's core r&d resources to carry out systematic innovation, aiming to solve the problem of host cloud migration. on the one hand, we continue to build an independent and innovative technology system to ensure the continuity of core technology supply. on the other hand, we build end-to-end system engineering capabilities from infrastructure, implementation processes to operation and maintenance systems to create a highly available, easy-to-operate, and more agile new open core.
high availability:huawei has built the ability to sense hardware failures in seconds based on a distributed cloud base, and can detect hardware failures within 2 seconds. based on distributed middleware such as elastic load balancing, financial-grade scheduling, and transaction processing, it supports business unit deployment and multi-site multi-active disaster recovery. combined with the gaussdb distributed database, it can seamlessly switch over within 6 seconds to build 5 9s financial-grade high availability on the cloud.
easy operation and maintenance:the solution aims to discover faults in 1 minute, delimit them in 5 minutes, and recover them in 10 minutes. it breaks down the barriers between software and hardware, discovers faults and analyzes their impacts in seconds across the entire chain from applications, cloud services, cloud platforms to hardware, and achieves full-chain observability. at the same time, it establishes the ability to quickly and intelligently delimit faults in data chains, transaction chains, and deployment chains, making large-scale cluster operation and maintenance more efficient. in addition, it mines unknown risks based on chaos engineering, identifies system weaknesses, and continuously improves system resilience.
more agile:compared with the traditional centralized architecture, cloud hosting can achieve dynamic resource management and flexible scheduling. in conjunction with huawei cloud's software development production line codearts, it can greatly improve application development efficiency and make business more agile. at the same time, huawei has also pioneered the operating system in-situ non-sensing upgrade technology. the upgrade process does not require the migration of virtual machines, supports batch parallel upgrades, and shortens the upgrade time of thousands of host nodes from dozens of days to within 5 hours, greatly improving the efficiency of platform evolution.
the host cloud solution released this time is not a simple replacement for traditional solutions, but a technological innovation and experience leap in the core system.
zhang pingan said:"huawei cloud has worked with many chinese banks to move core businesses from host systems to the cloud and accelerate the modernization of core businesses. currently, most chinese banks have chosen huawei to build a new cloud core."
china everbright bank has joined hands with huawei cloud stack to successfully improve the performance of key business systems through deep optimization of cloud-hardware collaboration. currently, core businesses such as loans, payments, and deposits will be migrated to the cloud-native platform, thereby accelerating the pace of innovation in the financial sector on the cloud.
tianjin binhai rural commercial bank selected huawei's host cloud solution, integrating the three-layer capabilities of huawei's cloud platform iaas, paas, and daas to create a modern core system architecture and achieve diversified agile business development and deployment. the application development and launch cycle was shortened to a few weeks, and the number of transactions per second (tps) of core business increased by 20 times overall.
"make cloud ubiquitous, make intelligence pervasive, and build the cloud foundation for an intelligent world" is the vision and mission of huawei cloud. huawei cloud practices "everything as a service" and will firmly work with customers and partners to overcome difficulties, accelerate the process of cloud migration, achieve full cloudification, and move towards full intelligence.
