The move will help expand the Chinese company’s cloud storage portfolio for enterprises.

All-flash storage plan aims to build an intelligent base for data, bringing cloud storage from the mechanical to the intelligent phase, and improving read-write speed of data from previous millisecond level to microsecond level.

“The new intelligent data base will accelerate the development of innovative industries relying on cloud computing and meet the demand of various emerging applications for real-time data,” said Zhang Yuxin, CTO, Huawei Cloud, at a press conference in Chengdu, capital city of Southwest China’s Sichuan Province.

Meanwhile, the company’s cloud obtained an information security service qualification issued by the China Information Technology Security Evaluation Center, indicating that the firm’s cloud can provide quality and safe services for users.

The global annual data increment will grow rapidly from 32.5ZB in 2018 to 180ZB in 2025. The enterprise data utilization rate is 10%, however, and the data value is not fully released, according to the company’s report on Global Industry Vision.

The firm’s new generation I/O cloud HDD is tat product coming out of the strategic all-flash plan, aiming to offer the maximum amount of low-cost storage while still keeping users’ data safe.

The company’s separated data I/O and data control to reconstruct data reading and writing by chip. For example, some algorithms are offloaded onto chips that allow networks to write data directly to the cloud, saving about 60% of CPU overhead, thus overall energy consumption can be reduced by 30%.

Cloud storage solution with elastic and unlimited expansion capacity is necessary for building an intelligent data base, to help resolve the growth of data, experts say.
