Drawing strength from best practices accumulated by Huawei over years, OceanStor DJ defines services by customer-oriented dictions and intelligently provides configuration and matching of optimal storage resources, shortening the time needed for deploying an IT application to less than 300 seconds.


Thanks to OceanStor DJ, administrators can flexibly select needed data management services from enterprise application markets, deploy them in resource pools of their cloud data centers, and therefore quickly establish application systems customized to particular service needs without extra operations such as storage configuration, mounting, and tuning. Adding to its appeal, OceanStor DJ can immediately archive and recycle offline service data and released storage resources, notably enhancing IT operation efficiency.


Orchestrated based on the storage hardware and software of the same brand, conventional service catalogs tie up customers to certain applications. Freeing up customers from worry of vendor lock-in, OceanStor DJ allows third-party applications to provide storage services with an open architecture.


Huawei is closely working with 30-plus storage application vendors, aiming to provide professional and easy-to-use data services such as data protection, databases, Big Data, and data security through OceanStor DJ.


Speaking to OceanStor DJ, Fan Ruiqi, President of Huawei Storage Product Line, commented: "Associating with Disc Jockey (DJ), OceanStor DJ can schedule storage resources based on service characteristics, automatically deploy data management applications, and optimize resources in line with service dynamics the same way as a DJ selects and plays music to entertain audience. In response to the staggering amounts of data in cloud data centers, OceanStor DJ provides storage as a service (SaaS) for enterprise IT systems, freeing up engineers from heavy workload in managing data storage and making them more focus on service transformation and innovation."


Through a process of technical innovation and cooperation, ICBC and Huawei leverage OceanStor DJ to centrally manage storage resources while dramatically improving storage resource utilization. Specifically, OceanStor DJ delivers storage resources and functionality as a self-help service to business departments, reducing deployment time from weeks to a few minutes. Expanding their cooperation in data protection, migration, and analysis, both parties seek to deepen joint development and innovation in building up a more efficient data service platform.
