Today, the digital economy has become a prominent highlight of China's economy. Data from the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology shows that from 2012 to 2021, China's digital economy will grow by 15.9%.
Among them, the digital performance of Bank of China is even more eye-catching. Not only are some large banks ranked first in the world in terms of digitalization, but some local banks have also begun to strengthen digital development and have shown an accelerated development trend!
China's banking industry is leading the world's digitalization level, with 91% of banks operating
In February this year, Moody's, one of the world's three major rating agencies, released a report called "Rapid growth of challenges puts new verve into old banking systems", rated 20 new banks around the world (challengers), and 4 Chinese banks were on the list. In addition, in May 2022, "Asian Banker" also selected the top 100 digital banks in the world. Among the top ten in the world on the list, there are three in China, which mark the world's leading banking industry in China.
At present, digital transformation has become a consensus on the survival and development of domestic banks. Not only large banks attach great importance to it, but local banking industries are also actively investing in digital transformation. Data shows that 91% of the surveyed banks have carried out digital transformation.
Local banks have become larger across regions and become digitalized into an "accelerator"
At present, some excellent local banks in China are actively expanding. With the help of digital upgrades, their IT efficiency has been greatly improved, thus forming a favorable promotion for becoming bigger and stronger one step.
, for example, Quanzhou Bank is a representative of it. It is a local joint-stock bank in Quanzhou City, committed to providing inclusive finance and small and micro enterprise credit business. In recent years, it has been expanding from Quanzhou City to cross-regional expansion. Recently, it and Lenovo have created cases of digital upgrades, which has greatly improved operational efficiency.
In the past, Quanzhou Bank employees and IT operation and maintenance personnel generally used traditional PCs to undertake the desktop computing process. Generally speaking, traditional PCs can meet daily business needs, but there are many problems such as difficulty in operation and maintenance, difficulty in data collection, and difficulty in USB anti-virus. With the rapid development of the business, these problems have become increasingly prominent.
Especially in recent years, Quanzhou Bank not only has its branches fully covered the Quanzhou area, but also has set up cross-city and off-site branches to further radiate to the West Coast Economic Zone of the Strait. Under this situation, traditional IT infrastructure is difficult to meet Quanzhou Bank's growing business needs, and it is urgently necessary to improve the status quo through information technology.
In this regard, Lenovo provides a cloud desktop storage solution composed of ThinkSystem DM5000H unified storage and VMware Horizon, which has brought significant improvements in performance, manageability and security.
Among them, the Flash Cache function stored in Lenovo ThinkSystem DM series is an acceleration mechanism based on flash memory media. It can perfectly partner with mechanical hard disks. Without affecting performance, it increases I/O throughput by up to 75%, and reduces disk drive usage by up to 75%, thereby greatly reducing the startup storm and meeting the high-performance needs of the bank desktop cloud platform. At the same time, using the powerful cloud desktop environment provided by VMware Horizon to replace the physical desktop, coupled with the centrally built vCenter management platform, it is easy to realize unified management and operation and maintenance of office terminals.
In addition, Lenovo Cloud Desktop Storage Solution also brings security improvements to Quanzhou Bank, which can achieve terminal security improvements, centralized data storage, etc., and also has a complete backup and recovery technical solution. The cloud desktop storage solution uses the virtualization management methods of cloud desktop technology to enable administrators to issue security management policies to the terminals. All desktop management work is completed within the central computer room, which will greatly reduce the workload caused by software deployment and frequent updates and the load on the network.
At present, through the upgrade brought by Lenovo Cloud Desktop Storage Solution, Quanzhou Bank can realize centralized client management, and the deployment time of the new desktop has been shortened from the original one week to within one hour; at the same time, it reduces the maintenance cost and equipment management pressure, and reduces a series of complex processes such as the need to wait for declaration, approval, purchase, and installation of new PCs.Moreover, administrators only need to achieve unified operation and maintenance of user applications and desktops in the data center, realizing centralized, efficient and unified desktop IT operation and maintenance, which greatly improves the overall IT operation and maintenance efficiency of Quanzhou Bank, and protects Quanzhou Bank's cross-regional expansion and strengthening.
In the future, Lenovo's "new IT" advantages will bring new momentum to more local banks and help China's banking industry further improve its digital advantages.
