At the Huawei Innovative Data Infrastructure Forum 2024 in Berlin, Dr. Peter Zhou, Vice President of Huawei and President of Huawei Data Storage Product Line, presented Huawei’s latest thinking in his talk “Redefining Data Storage in the Data Awakening Era.”
AI looks to disrupt traditional data storage, by not only focusing on performance, reliability, and data paradigm, but also on scalability, sustainability, and data fabric, Zhou said.
In the data awakening era, he added, Huawei will redefine data storage through leading innovation in Ultra performance, Data resilience, New data paradigm, Scalability, Sustainability and Data fabric.
These six dimensions guide the philosophy behind the recent launch of the high-performance OceanStor A800, which is a powerful addition to Huawei OceanStor A series storage models. Tailored for AI applications, OceanStor A800 can increase AI cluster utilization by 30%, and as for performance, it delivers high bandwidth and IOPS, which are four and eight times better than its peer vendor’s.
Dr. Peter Zhou ended by emphasizing Huawei’s commitment to redefining data storage that focuses on customer challenges and demands in the data awakening era, and building leading AI-ready data infrastructure for greater customer value.
