Level Jinjiang said: “The acceleration of digital and intelligent transformation of industries has driven a shift from mainframes to open architectures. Huawei’s mainframe modernization solution delivers cloud-hardware synergy, more reliable processes, and innovative scenario-specific solutions. It helps establish an open architecture for modern core systems. This is a new reliable solution for customers.
The transformation of mainframe systems requires a complete end-to-end migration covering hardware, databases, middleware and core application systems, which is a global challenge. With over 30 years of ICT expertise, Huawei will seek breakthroughs in 10 key technologies related to hardware, software and processes:
- Material: Huawei will operate computer servers with high fault tolerance and high-end storage to improve the reliability and availability of hardware platforms.
- Software: Huawei will attempt to leverage cloud platforms with high availability and cloud load balancing to transform centralized integrated databases and middleware into high-performance distributed databases, financial grade middleware and security components.
- Process: Huawei will use its application migration tools, software development tools and systematic professional services to ensure a seamless transition and systematic O&M.
Huawei’s mainframe modernization solution leverages the advantages of software-hardware synergy and consolidates Huawei’s extensive experience serving various industries. It helps governments and enterprise customers modernize their mainframe systems faster in the following ways:
- Cloud-hardware synergy: The solution uses highly reliable cloud HA software and general hardware systems to provide RAS2P capabilities, namely reliability, availability, ease of maintenance, safety and high performance. A cloud-native foundation with 99.999% availability has been established.
- More reliable processes: The solution is based on Huawei’s in-depth industry practices and expert experiences. It provides financial grade end-to-end processes, from high-level design consulting, detailed design and integration, to performance tuning and deterministic operation and maintenance. These processes help customers improve their compliance posture, efficiently migrate to the cloud, and ensure service continuity.
- Innovative scenario-specific solutions: Four infrastructure, application, data, and O&M modernization solutions are available for three migration scenarios: rehosting, platform redesign, and rearchitecting. The modernization supports a modular approach.
The acceleration of digital and intelligent transformation poses new demands for innovation independent of digital technologies. In the financial sector, most financial institutions have deployed cloud infrastructure and migrated some applications to the cloud, and some large banks have migrated their core applications to the cloud and built modern core systems. In the future, Huawei will continue to invest more in innovation using core technologies and help more customers in various industries upgrade their mainframe systems faster.
