As a storage and backup engineer working for one of the largest banks in the country, I have used many storage solutions, but the Ocean Pacific series is the most flexible. It supports online capacity expansion without any impact on business operation. In addition, it is compatible with complex environments and offers features such as multi-site replication and big data archiving, which meet my requirements for reliability. The performance of the Ocean Pacific series is particularly outstanding, it has reduced our long-term data backup time by 75%, significantly improving the efficiency of long-term data backups. The Ocean Pacific series is compatible with files, objects and big data, meeting the needs of our business development over the next three to five years. This time, we chose the Pacific 9546 model, which adopts an ultra-high-density design to achieve the maximum capacity per unit of space, optimizing space utilization by more than 30%. This has greatly reduced the cost of long-term backup scenarios. In summary, the Ocean Pacific series is a product worth choosing and trusting.Read all insights and reviews for Huawei OceanStor Pacific Series
