[Barcelona, Spain, February 29, 2024] The 2024 Huawei products and solutions launch was successfully held at MWC Barcelona 2024. Dr. Peter Zhou, President of Huawei Data Storage Product Line, announces three innovative solutions aimed at helping carriers around the world build cutting-edge data infrastructure in the AI era He has: AI data lake solutions, data protection solutions for any scenario, and his DCS full stack data center solutions.
Mr. Peter Zhou giving the keynote speech
The rapid development of large-scale AI models is unlocking the value of data assets and paving the way for the era of data awakening. There are two major challenges in building data infrastructure in the AI era. First, extracting knowledge from data requires aggregating independent and distributed data sources into an AI data factory to mine value from data. This sets high requirements for data mobility. Second, data capitalization is rapidly expanding. The average retention period for annotated AI and model data is now over three years, and some valuable corpus data must be stored forever.
To address these challenges, Huawei launched a series of innovative storage products and solutions to help carriers build cutting-edge data infrastructure in the AI era and accelerate service innovation. .
- AI data lake solution to transfer large amounts of data to valuable assets: The solution includes a data management engine (DME), a one-stop knowledge generation tool chain (eDataMate), a data fabric, and AI storage solutions OceanStor A800 and OceanStor A310. This makes AI training data globally visible, manageable, and available, improving data collection, preprocessing, and training efficiency. Specifically, OceanStor A800, a next-generation high-performance NAS storage solution, is a robust AI storage power foundation with features such as data and control plane separation architecture, OceanFS high-performance parallel file system, and flexible bidirectional expansion. All of these are designed to support real-time hypercluster scheduling.
- A data protection solution for all scenarios for data creation, backup, and archiving that increases the resiliency of your data assets.: This solution uses a two-tier co-deployment. The first layer is production and backup collaboration, backing up large numbers of small files 90% faster than traditional solutions. It also supports real-time native format data analysis. Next is backup and archive collaboration. Post-deduplication tiering reduces bandwidth consumption by 80%. Additionally, Huawei at the event unveiled OceanProtect E8000 and X9000 data backup appliance solutions and the next-generation OceanStor arctic electromagnetic storage solution designed for warm and cold data. His magneto-electric storage solution is predicted to reduce his TCO by 20% over tape and consume 90% less power than HDDs.
- DCS full-stack data center solutions help carriers achieve greater IT service efficiency and agility.: This full-stack solution is built on virtualization and containers, covering data collection, storage, compute, management, and usage, and includes comprehensive Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Platform as a Service ( We provide PaaS).
Dr. Chou said that AI is promoting data awakening and accelerating the process of turning data into assets. Huawei Data Storage remains committed to providing storage solutions for all scenarios to help carriers build cutting-edge data infrastructure in the AI era.
MWC Barcelona 2024 will be held in Barcelona, Spain from February 26th to February 29th. During the event, Huawei will be showcasing its latest products and solutions for 1 hour and 50 minutes at the Fira Gran Via Hall 1 stand.
Toward the commercial launch of 5.5G in 2024, Huawei is collaborating with carriers and partners around the world to pursue exciting new innovations in networks, cloud, and intelligence. Together, we will advance his 5G business, foster a thriving industry ecosystem, and build a new era of intelligent digital transformation.
