日本 常石造船はH3CのIP電話ネットワークを採用。

Background

Founded in 1917,Japan’s Tsuneishi Corporation is the sixth largest shipyard in the world based on tonnage, with over 4,000 employees worldwide. The company is pursuing a global strategy to deliver the highest quality ships at economical prices to its international customer base.

To further grow its business, Tsuneishi has undertaken a program to renew its legacy systems to allow for a more efficient and cost-effective communications environment between its Fukuyama headquarters and their factories in Zhoushan, China and Cebu Island, the Philippines. Tsuneishi’s goal is to improve reliability, simplify maintenance and produce more cost-effective performance for its widely dispersed facilities.In addition to overall performance and cost improvement, Tsuneishi planned on deploying an IP phone system company wide and needed a more reliable and high performance network to support their IP telephony infrastructure.

Upon formal tendering, H3C’s solution was selected after thorough evaluation. H3C’s demonstrated professionalism and good understanding of Tsuneishi’s expectations and requirements along with previously successful work were strong factors in the selection process.

Technology Solution

To meet Tsuneishi’s needs, H3C designed a highly reliable and fast network infrastructure to provide better access, performance and links among its global locations. To accomplish this, about 30 H3C S3600-28P-EI switches, which supply Power over Ethernet for IP phones, were deployed at the office level to provide access for PC and IP phones. H3C also utilized its industry leading Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) technology to make available improve resiliency, performance and expandability for network access.

Tsuneishi had already deployed various H3C S3600 series switches at their network’s edge, yet their core systems are still running on older hardware. As part of the network renewal plan, Tsuneishi deployed H3C switches in their overseas factories and headquarters with plans for further deployments at the network core in Tokyo as they provide clear support for Tsuneishi’s future IT strategies.

Why H3C?

H3C’s IRF is an innovative resilient stackable network technology that allows customers to build networks with high levels of scalability, manageability, reliability, and security. With its deployment in the Tsuneishi network, the company can take advantage of its outstanding redundant capabilities. Powered by the H3C S3600 series switches, the new VLAN functionality provides Tsuneishi with the highest quality service for their IP voice calls. 
H3C’s comprehensive customer-oriented services and support have helped Tsuneishi realize simplified management of its network operations and lowered costs. Working across three countries, the implementation of the Tsuneishi network went smoothly due to the professionalism and technical skill of H3C and its partner NVC’s technicians and support staff.

Benefits

Tsuneishi required an upgraded infrastructure to support its deployment of an IP telephony system to improve communications between its Fukuyama HQ and its factories in China and the Philippines. H3C’s solution provides interoperability that supports its legacy systems as well as laying out a future upgrade pathway for core and edge networking systems.

Since the deployment, Tsuneishi has successfully cut the per port unit cost for its IP phones by 20 percent, while improving performance, reliability and manageability. In addition, Tsuneishi has realized overall cost savings from reduced deployment and maintenance.
"The investment cost was reduced because of the smooth installation. System reliability has increased after the deployment and we’ve seen excellent performance for the cost," said Mr. Satoshi Mori, Executive Officer, Management and Administration Dept., Tsuneishi Corporation. “The impact of the H3C solution has been immediate and system-wide.”
