FULL STORY ======================================================================

The theme for Huaweis global data storage product lines flagship event, the Innovative Data Infrastructure (IDI) Forum 2025, was Data Awakening, AI Rising .

Xie Liming, Vice President of Huawei Data Storage Product Line, pulled the curtains on Huaweis new flagship, the New-Gen OceanStor Dorado Converged All-Flash Storage, the ideal choice for enterprises' mission-critical services. What you need to know

Businesses are rapidly embracing AI globally for their mission-critical applications and need an AI-ready data infrastructure that is both scalable and can rapidly deliver ROI to drive what we call Intelligent transformation
.

Artificial intelligence alters this data into something more important for
any business: an intangible asset.

Proprietary data is at the heart of this AI revolution and requires AI-ready data storage: legacy, conventional storage technologies are just not good enough.

Huawei has identified three major focuses of primary storage in the AI era: Converged cloud-native capabilities: Enterprise-class block, file, and object services are provided to reduce business complexity and total cost of ownership (TCO). Intrinsic resilience: Ransomware protection is integrated into production storage to enable early detection and rapid response against ransomware attacks, minimizing data loss and downtime while accelerating service recovery. AI agents: Self-optimized AI agents greatly improve efficiency and user experience.

The direction of travel of the entire tech industry is towards all flash storage, a no-compromise, best-in-class media technology based.

Huawei has developed a bespoke, industry-leading hardware stack with its own DPU (data processing units), NICs (network interface cards), large capacity SSDs (solid state drives) and controllers. Meet the New-Gen OceanStor Dorado Converged All-Flash Storage

The converged and resilient all-flash storage with AI agents brings mission-critical applications into the AI era. This New-Gen storage has three features: Converged: This new product is the first within the industry to integrate block/file/object parallel architecture in order to reduce complexity and total cost of ownership. A unified, multi-protocol resource pool cuts the TCO by 25%, and performance is improved by 20% thanks to multi-protocol parallel IO paths. Resilient: The product delivers 99.99999% single-system reliability thanks to its SmartMatrix full-mesh architecture
and supports active-active solutions for SAN, NAS, and S3, ensuring zero data loss. It provides business continuity even if seven out of eight controller enclosures are faulty. The system provides built-in ransomware protection for both blocks and files with 99.99% ransomware detection accuracy. AI Agent:
The industry's first storage with AI agents boosts management efficiency and streamlines operations. For example, the ransomware protection AI agent can deploy the solution in just 1 minute and prevent ransomware attacks with no latency.

Moreover, the New-Gen OceanStor Dorado Converged All-Flash Storage offers seamless upgrades across controllers or entire clusters with zero data migration or service interruption thanks to the FlashEver guarantee.

But it is the first step of a journey. Integrating data storage, data management, resource management and the AI toolchain, Huaweis just-released
AI Data Lake solution aims to deliver a high-quality AI corpus and speed up model training and inference.

The aim is to empower enterprises to embrace AI, the next logical step to digital transformation.

Huawei is one of a handful of players worldwide that can deliver the full AI stack: inference and training, across hardware, software and services. Having a one-stop-shop approach allows businesses to increase efficiency by reducing friction thats inherent when dealing with many parties.
