How the financial industry responds to the "big data concentration" trend

With the popularization and continuous development of Internet and enterprise networks around the world, the e-network Informatization Construction in China's financial industry is constantly deepening, and service methods are increasingly diversified. Relying on computers, many new services are constantly emerging, and gradually formed a new set of modernization model. The importance of integrated wiring systems in the financial industry is becoming increasingly prominent. In modern financial enterprises, it is necessary to ensure the transmission of financial information with huge traffic every day, A communication network cabling system with sufficient bandwidth and stable and reliable transmission performance are required.

At present, the development trend of "data centralization" has been widely recognized in China's financial industry, and some large securities and banks have embarked on this path. As the core of data and business applications, the importance of data centers to users is equivalent to that of the human body. At present, more and more financial enterprises have invested in the construction of data centers. As a matter of fact, it is no longer the only requirement on the data center to ensure the 24-hour operation every week for many users, advanced Data Center solutions should also provide better performance in terms of flexibility, scalability, security, redundant backup, environmental control, and business continuity management, this outstanding performance must be based on the flexible, healthy, and high-performance Integrated Wiring System.

So what is the basis for banks to generate such a forward-looking big data concentration strategy? The fundamental premise is network information technology. network information plays an important role in the financial industry. The mature application of information technology in network communication and data storage provides the necessary technical support for the data centralization trend in the financial industry today. Networks are the basis of applications and the key factor for realizing strategic transformation of enterprises in the New Economy Era. Therefore, the overall architecture and technology level of networks will have a profound impact on the business development of enterprises. The Integrated Wiring System is the basis of the network. Therefore, the reliability, security, scalability, and data processing capabilities of the Integrated Wiring System are directly related to the reliability, security, and scalability of the network system.

The financial industry is a typical service industry, and customer orientation is the deciding factor for successful operation of financial enterprises. In order to meet various service requirements of customers and respond to increasingly fierce competition, banks have developed banking information services over the past few years with the help of modern computer and communication technologies, computer networks have become an indispensable part of the operation of the financial industry. The financial industry has also become one of the biggest beneficiaries of the development of information technology and network technology.

Unlike other industries, the financial industry has used network systems as production machines rather than general office operating tools, the smooth and reliable operation of the network has become the primary condition for the normal operation of the financial industry. The increasingly complex application systems, massive data exchange and constant updates make the data center occupy an important position in its network system. The financial industry has high requirements on network security and stability. The system must support 247 operations and high-speed data processing, and provide redundant backup and fault tolerance functions, ensure that the system can run normally under any circumstances, otherwise it will cause huge losses to banks and users. At the same time, the system needs to provide excellent management capabilities and flexibility to deal with complex applications.

Solution 1: High Transmission Performance 10-Gigabit copper cable and Optical Fiber System Solution

We recommend that you use a 10-Gigabit copper cable cabling system and a 10-Gigabit optical fiber trunk to build a network cabling system with outstanding performance and stable and reliable transmission. The system supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet 10GBase-T and is easy to install. It is suitable for data centers and large office buildings and can provide high-speed and reliable transmission for network systems of large financial institutions. OM3 indoor Optical Fiber solution is generally used for the optical fiber part. OM3 optical fiber is optimized by 850nm wavelength laser, and the minimum valid bandwidth reaches 2000MHz-km. It can support 10 Gbit/s data transmission distance to 300 Mbit/s, fully guarantees high-speed and reliable performance requirements of the data center. In addition, according to the development trend of the current standard, OM3 will support transmission of 16g and 32g fiber channels and G Ethernet and even higher data rates in the future, it not only meets the current needs of users, but also adapts to future development and comprehensively guarantees the high speed and reliability of data center network transmission.

Financial institutions usually have their own centralized office buildings and widely distributed branches and business sites. Unsafe risks may cause serious consequences, 10g copper cables and 10G optical fiber products in this solution are recommended to use more environmentally friendly non-smoke halogen-free outer skin products.

Solution 2: high-density data center cabling system solution

In an enterprise's IT infrastructure, the data center is the master control center for data and business applications. The construction of data centers should be oriented to the development of enterprise businesses and provide comprehensive business support for enterprises. Especially for the financial industry, its application systems are extremely large and complex and constantly updated. computer network systems have become an important tool for daily operation, the secure, stable, and orderly operation of data centers can ensure the normal operation of their services.

This solution provides a high-density, low-cost, easy-to-manage, and high-reliability network cabling system solution for data centers in the financial industry. This not only saves space for cabinets and pipelines, but also improves the wiring density and installation efficiency of the entire data center. For example, the fiber port density of the 8-hu SAN network switch can reach 288 cores. If the traditional 1-hu optical fiber distribution frame is used, the maximum distribution of 48 cores is solved, each distribution frame requires a management rack. The 48-core cabinet space will be 2 Hu, And the 288-core light wiring requires a total of 12 Hu. Such EDA wiring will not be satisfactory. Now, with MPO high-density distribution frame, only 1 Hu can solve 144-core cabling, and only 2 Hu space can solve the wiring of 288-core optical fiber, greatly saving the cabinet space, this MPO solution is very suitable for the cabling requirements of EDA in the device wiring area in the form of interconnection and wiring. In addition, for the requirements of MDA cross-wiring, the distribution frame of MPO system 5HU can solve the density of 288 cores, and it already contains horizontal wiring, which occupies less than half of the space occupied by traditional wiring. The system provides simple plug-and-play installation, while reducing cable waste during data center migration and making it more environmentally friendly. High-density connectors provide more ports in a small space and provide real data transmission with high reliability.

Solution 3: greenization

In the data center of the financial unemployed data center, because the space in the host room is usually the activity space of management personnel, the raw materials for cabling products must meet the RoHS environmental protection requirements first, for a long period of time, no toxic and harmful gases will be volatile in the data room. More cables will be LSZH low smoke halogen-free products. For cables in the cabling system, to achieve the three goals of normal transmission during a certain period of time under the high temperature of the fire, prevent the fire from spreading along the cable and generate toxic gases, and prevent corrosive gases from damaging the connectors of computer equipment, the ideal solution is to develop both fire-resistant and flame-retardant low smoke halogen-free transmission cable, because the low smoke halogen-free cable emits only water and carbon dioxide in the gas, in line with international standard IEC60332-1, IEC60332-2, LSZH (or LSOH) cables of IEC60332-3 can meet the requirements of environmental protection and flame retardant. In addition, the cost-effectiveness of LSZH products can be accepted by the market, in the future IDC cabling scheme, LSZH will be used by more users for environmentally friendly materials.

Due to the characteristics of financial services, the industry's Integrated Wiring System Project has high requirements on security, stability, flexibility and broadband. High security and reliability are required because the financial system involves various confidential data and cannot be eavesdropped, tampered with, or counterfeited during data transmission. Therefore, the network is required to provide fully isolated and highly secure data transmission services; high system stability is required because the financial system must be "7 × 24" online without interruption, and the network must meet the response time limit for Real-Time Service Processing during peak hours, it can also provide redundant backup and fault tolerance functions to ensure that the system can run normally under any circumstances, otherwise it will cause huge losses to banks and users; high system flexibility is required because of the nature of the work in the financial industry, which makes it difficult for a single information network to meet the requirements. Different departments must have different network types depending on their work nature, in order to meet their different needs, and even the Needs of the same department in different periods for the network form may also change, A complete, flexible, and open Integrated Wiring is required to support these applications and provide excellent management capabilities and flexibility: Color partitioning can be used according to standard requirements, patch cords can also use different colors based on different purposes. The labels and identifiers of each part are clear and clearly recorded, making the system more convenient and accurate. At the same time, a considerable number of jumpers must be frequent. The patch cord quality is also very high because the video conferencing system requires high-quality real-time communication, and sufficient bandwidth is required.
