Unlocking Flash Storage Potential to Lead

Turkey, a thriving land at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, captivates the world's attention with its profound cultural heritage and vigorous economic development. As one of the largest MSPs in the country, KoçSistem is not only a powerful engine driving enterprises' digital transformation but also a bridge facilitating the deep integration of innovative technologies and practical applications.

KoçSistem is a subsidiary of Koç Holding, Turkey's largest industrial group and the only Turkish company to rank among the Fortune Global 500 in recent years. With 75 years of technological accumulation, KoçSistem offers a diverse portfolio spanning the Internet of Things (IoT), big data analytics, security, enterprise cloud, and other fields, enabling various industries to benefit from digital development across their value chains. Over the years, KoçSistem has adhered to its vision of "evolving from a system integrator into a powerful technology company developing cutting-edge products, services, and integrated solutions," driving technological progress and contributing to national development through customer-oriented innovation.

As KoçSistem expands its cloud service scale, the company embraces more opportunities for technological innovation and upgrades. Leveraging advanced technologies like cloud computing and big data, it optimizes its product portfolio and enhances market competitiveness. In complex and diverse workload environments, KoçSistem aims to further meet future data capacity demands and comprehensively improve processing performance for customers' core data. After analysis and evaluation, KoçSistem has identified the following requirements: on the one hand, the new storage system needs to be high-performing, stable, reliable, and cost-effective; on the other hand, it must achieve at least hundreds of thousands of IOPS with 64K data blocks while ensuring latency below 1 millisecond.

Leading Technology, Prominent Value

In the all-flash era, KoçSistem aims to fully embrace digital and intelligent opportunities, reinforcing its data foundation with the exceptional performance of high-end storage products. As early as 2020, KoçSistem enjoyed a successful collaboration with Huawei on storage system upgrades. After thorough evaluation this time, Huawei's OceanStor Dorado product stood out again, offering the following advantages:

Firstly, Huawei OceanStor Dorado high-end storage sets a new benchmark in reliability with its SmartMatrix fully connected architecture, ensuring continuous and stable business operations even in extreme controller failures (such as 7 out of 8 controllers or 1 out of 2 engines failing), thereby enhancing KoçSistem's service continuity and customer trust.

Secondly, by combining FLASHLINK® disk-controller technology with intelligent algorithms, Huawei's product achieves seamless interaction between controllers, disk enclosures, and SSDs, ensuring KoçSistem remains efficient and agile when handling complex business scenarios like big data and high concurrency.

Thirdly, in the face of increasingly rampant ransomware attacks globally, Huawei OceanStor Dorado high-end storage integrates ransomware detection, secure snapshots, and other features, actively safeguarding the data security of KoçSistem and its customers. Meanwhile, Huawei's solution adopts symmetric active-active controller architecture for both backup and production to ensure 7x24-hour data high availability.

Partnering for a Digital and Intelligent Future

During POC testing, under extreme conditions where CPU utilization, port utilization, and disk utilization all reached 50%, Huawei OceanStor Dorado high-end storage still delivered satisfactory results, exceeding KoçSistem's expectations by 30%, reinforcing KoçSistem's confidence in choosing Huawei as a partner.

By introducing Huawei's all-flash high-end storage solution, KoçSistem achieved a 33% increase in storage performance and a 35% reduction in Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). This achievement not only met the company's core requirements for high performance, reliability, and stability but also provided its customers in various industries with an even better service experience.

In the future, KoçSistem and Huawei will continue to forge ahead together on the journey of digital and intelligent development, creating value and achievements that exceed customer expectations.
