China Construction Bank Improves Accounting
Documents Management with OceanStor 9000
Challenges
 Massive writes: Up to 20 million transactions were generated and archived by the
head office and other 38 branches each day. Image data needed to be imported to the
storage system at the same day it was generated. However, CD-ROM archive
resulted in low query speed and thus the data import was time-consuming.
 Overloaded queries: The existing CD-ROM archive failed to meet the requirements
for fast retrieving and querying 10 billion transaction records accumulated in the past
three years, and certainly could not tackle the pressure from 40 billion transaction
records in the future.
