Huawei Storage Unveils 4 Directions to Lead Storage Industry

At Huawei Global Analyst Summit 2022, Huawei Storage announces its 4 innovation directions for storage to build 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, the company 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 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, the firm’s optimizes OceanStor Dorado all-flash storage to build a 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.

Portfolio oriented to DCs
The company builds an efficient cross-DC storage network with a  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 5ms; fiber jitter is detected in real time and proactively notified to storage devices; I/O channels are switched within 1s, ensuring zero data loss and achieving a DC DR solution with stable latency; and for exabyte-level data archiving workloads, the geo-redundant multi-active DR solution supports persistent storage across sites and provides local and cross-region quick data access anytime, anywhere.

Green, low-carbon storage
By tracking the carbon footprint of the entire product lifecycle, the company’s storage increases hardware density with density design, reduces duplicate data through data reduction, and performs convergence to improve storage resource utilization. These features combine to reduce the storage energy consumption per unit of data, supercharging a range of green and low-carbon data centers.

With 18,000 customers WW, the firm is committed to helping more enterprises accelerate their digital transformation journey.
