Huawei Storage Unveils Four Innovation Directions to Lead the Data Storage Industry
[Shenzhen, China, April 27, 2022] At Huawei Global Analyst Summit 2022, Huawei Storage announces its four innovation directions for data storage to build efficient, trustworthy, and reliable data services. These are innovations on all-scenario flash, emerging services, data center-oriented product portfolios, and green, low-carbon data storage, helping enterprises take on challenges from mass data growth and diversified applications.
All-Scenario Flash Innovation
To meet needs of diverse enterprise applications and workloads, Huawei continuously improves all-scenario flash product series, covering OceanStor Dorado All-Flash Storage that integrates SAN and NAS, New-Gen OceanStor Hybrid Flash Storage, flash-ready OceanProtect Backup Storage, and the industry's only comprehensive ransomware protection solution that supports the primary + backup storage combo.
Storage Innovation Driven by Emerging Services
For emerging application scenarios, such as containers, distributed databases, and cloud-based apps, Huawei innovatively optimizes OceanStor Dorado All-Flash Storage to build an efficient data foundation. Specifically, this facilitates data protection of containerized applications and efficient resource management, unified management of cloud-based storage resources, and improved database performance and reliability.
Product Portfolio Innovation Oriented to Data Centers (DCs)
Huawei builds an efficient and trustworthy cross-DC storage network with a premium product portfolio that combines all-flash storage, network, and optical links. This solution uses optical networks to detect link faults and implements fiber path failover within 5 ms; fiber jitter is detected in real time and proactively notified to storage devices; I/O channels are switched within 1 second, ensuring zero data loss and achieving a DC disaster recovery (DR) solution with stable latency; and for EB-level data archiving workloads, the geo-redundant multi-active DR solution supports persistent data storage across sites and provides local and cross-region quick data access anytime, anywhere.
Green, Low-Carbon Storage Innovation
By tracking the carbon footprint of the entire product lifecycle, Huawei Storage increases hardware density with high-density design, reduces duplicate data through efficient data reduction, and performs convergence to improve storage resource utilization. These features combine to significantly reduce the storage energy consumption per unit of data, supercharging a new range of green and low-carbon data centers.
Huawei Storage is driving technologies to make breakthroughs that contribute to the evolution of data infrastructure. With 18,000 customers worldwide, it is committed to helping more enterprises accelerate their digital transformation journey.
