Our Solution For ICBC
H3C participated in the construction of the provincial data center. In this project, 18 provincial data centers deployed H3C’s solution and products. The data centers were divided into several related areas which have different functions, such as OA area and a production area. S6500 (H3C S7500) series switches are used as core switches and all the S3500 series switches are used as access switches.

Benefit
H3C provided ICBC with an end-to-end solution, which helps ICBC achieve data convergence from provinces through to the headquarters. This gives ICBC a strong foundation for service integration and development.
