“Assessment of Ocean Pacific Series Performance, Flexibility, and Cost Considerations”

5.0
Dec 23, 2025
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.

It also supports both file and object configurations, making it suitable for both backup and central file systems.In addition, Pacific offers multi-level reliability guarantees, with system-level reliability reaching up to 99.9999%. Overall, the solution capabilities and services provided by Huawei's team are very useful in banking operations.

That as far as I am concerned it is an afterthought, we have not had any problems.

Like

What I appreciate most about Huawei Pacific is its strong balance of cost-effectivenessreliabilityand technical maturity. We use the platform primarily for high-value data archiving and object-based servicesand it has consistently delivered stable performance with minimal operational overhead. The system's architecture fits well with our long-term data retention needs, while maintaining excellent durability and scalability.

SSDs are a little expensive, especially when it comes to large capacities. We hope that there will be business optimizations and improvements in the future.

Dislike

Price was a little high according to management. Not able to cluster users.

Dislike

The initial configuration of object services can be somewhat complex, requiring additional time for fine-tuning and policy alignment. The management interface could be more streamlined to simplify routine operations.

    Nov 28, 2025
    The experience with Huawei Pacific has been pretty good. We use it mainly for archive data and object storage, and the system works reliably for these workloads. The compatibility with object protocols is strong and the distributed storage architecture gives us good scalability as our data grows. I also very much appreciate the tiered storage design using both SSD and HDD, which gives a good balance between performance and cost.
