The Huawei Mainframe Modernization solution is backed by Huawei's over 30 years of ICT expertise and extensive industry experience. It capitalizes on the strength of software-hardware synergy and drives technical breakthroughs in terms of hardware, software, and implementation processes, aiming to help customers move their legacy core systems to the cloud for better agility and resilience.
Cloud-hardware synergy: The solution uses HA cloud software and highly reliable general hardware systems to deliver RAS2P capabilities, namely, high reliability, availability, serviceability, security, and performance. A cloud native foundation with 99.999% availability has been established.
More dependable processes: The solution is based on Huawei's extensive industry practices and expert experience. It provides financial-grade end-to-end processes from high-level design consulting, detailed design, and integration enablement, to performance tuning and deterministic O&M. These processes help customers enhance their compliance, efficiently move to cloud, and ensure service continuity.
Innovative scenario-specific solutions: There are four solutions for modernizing infrastructure, applications, data, and O&M. They are used in three migration scenarios: re-hosting, re-platforming, and re-architecting. The modernization supports a building-block approach.
The accelerating digital and intelligent transformation poses new requirements for innovation of digital technologies. In the finance sector, most financial institutions have deployed cloud infrastructure and migrated some applications to the cloud, and some top banks have migrated their core applications to cloud and built modern core systems. In the future, Huawei will continue to invest more in innovation using foundational technologies and to help more customers across diverse industries modernize their core systems faster.
