About The Customer

Huawei is a leading telecom solutions provider dedicated to eliminating the digital gap and using its innovative technology and professional experience to enable everyone to enjoy communication and broadband services.

The Challenge

Support more complex business needs

Both the increasing number of customers and more complex business demand a higher-performing acquisition planning system (APS) to ensure stable and reliable operation.

Improve business agility

Improve the flexibility of the APS to increase business agility.

Reduce costs

Enhance the APS with better performance and higher scalability at a lower cost to enable the company's future development.

The Solution

Migrate to Intel architecture

Achieve better computing performance, higher reliability and and enhanced scalability and lower the costs of system operations, maintenance, and expansion by migrating the APS from the RISC architecture to Intel architetcture and running the database as an independent system.

Data Collected

Asset Performance, Operating Time, Operation Performance, Operating Cost

Operational Impact

[Cost Reduction - Operation]
Lower system operating costs.

Quantitative Benefit

Huawei cut APS job run time by more than 50 percent and improved database performance by 30 percent.
The updated APS can run three or more times per day compared with once a day in the past.
Both operating and future expansion costs are lower with the new system than with the old RISC-based system.
