Background

The "Digital Transformation Strategy of National Energy Group" and the "14th Five Year Plan for Network Security and Informatization of National Energy Group" clarify the transformation and development goals of "platform based development, digital operation, ecological cooperation, industrial chain collaboration, and intelligent production", adhere to the "six unifications" of planning, standards, investment, construction, management, and operation and maintenance, and the "big concentration" principle, accelerate the construction of intelligent production, intelligent management, and intelligent operation systems, continuously increase innovation and research efforts, actively carry out big data application governance, and continuously deepen the innovative application of advanced information technology in various aspects of energy production, transportation, trading, consumption, and enterprise management of the group.

MacroSAN has made a preliminary assessment of the development trend of power energy during the 14th Five Year Plan period. Safety, green, and efficiency are key factors for the high-quality development of power energy in the new era. It is necessary to establish a comprehensive security guarantee system for power energy and firmly guard the bottom line of safe development; To effectively increase the proportion of new energy electricity and firmly grasp the main line of green development; To lead the transformation and upgrading of power energy through innovation, and adhere to the path of efficient development; To optimize the power structure and layout; We need to optimize and adjust the allocation of power energy resources.

Solution

Electric power and energy enterprises are sales oriented enterprises or traditional manufacturing enterprises for ordinary consumers. For the sales department of such enterprises, the informatization degree of sales business determines the production efficiency of the enterprise or the department, and the progressiveness informatization of sales business depends on the overall efficiency of unified solutions from ERP applications to servers, networks, and storage arrays. As a professional storage solution provider with ten years of experience in the domestic storage field, MacroSAN has accumulated a wealth of advanced technological experience and successful cases in this area.

Application scenario 1:ERP system is a centralized system in the energy industry, and it is also one of the most complex application systems. All business processing and activities need to be updated in a timely manner through a unified database to improve business efficiency. ERP systems require high real-time data and low latency storage devices.

Application scenario 2:In the two major business platforms of State Grid dispatch and informatization, the main business systems are ERP and dispatch automation system EMS.

Program Features:

Ultimate Performance Guarantee

VMe protocol all flash has the most efficient hardware channel for data exchange with the CPU, and each SSD has a separate data channel, unlike traditional SAS architecture storage that requires channel reuse. The progressiveness nature and efficient hardware design of NVMe protocol can provide the key to extremely low latency and high IOPS.

High Performance Storage's Front-End Channel Port

Using the sixth generation fiber channel (32G FC) technology as the front-end network, it can better ensure the ultimate performance of NVMe flash arrays compared to 16G FC. The extremely high data conversion efficiency further reduces overall IO latency, and the larger channel bandwidth ensures stable overall throughput.

Storage snapshot technology avoids human data damage and logical errors

Snapshot can mark the data state with minimal impact on performance. In case of data viruses, misoperations, or other situations, it can quickly "restore" the previous data state, and can also be selectively restored. There are multiple time points of data state selection in the system that can be freely "rolled back" to prevent data loss

MacroSAN's ODSP storage platform ensures the full lifecycle of data

As the only component for permanent data storage, storage products not only consider how data is "written" and "read", but also how data will be migrated in the future. With the growth of data volume or changes in business models, core data may need to be stored in multiple replicas, upgraded storage devices, or even migrated across brands. How data can freely flow horizontally in the future is the most worthwhile issue to consider in data lifecycle management. MacroSAN's independently developed ODSP storage platform supports MacroSAN's full range of storage, from low-end SAN storage to high-end full flash and tightly coupled four control products. It is compatible with all platforms, and future data upgrades or downgrades need to be migrated to other storage hardware, which can be easily solved through the ODSP NDM function.
