Enterprise data needs are changing rapidly due to the sudden rise of massive computing workloads. To address these demands, Huawei used its annual innovative data infrastructure forum in Paris to reveal a new full-stack infrastructure strategy. The company is introducing high-density hardware and smart management software to help businesses process large amounts of data much faster.
Massive scale-out storage hardware
The biggest physical hardware announcement from the event is the latest version of the OceanStor Pacific scale-out storage system. The company managed to pack an impressive 11 petabytes of data capacity into a compact server chassis that takes up only two units of rack space. This extreme density allows corporate data centers to save massive amounts of physical floor space while drastically cutting down on electricity costs.
To help companies manage data across different locations, the company introduced a unified data solution. This software allows businesses to safely import and search through hundreds of billions of data points in real time, even if the files are spread across entirely different physical server buildings.
Solving the data speed bottleneck
When running massive data tasks, modern computer systems often face speed bottlenecks while waiting for information to load. To fix this issue, the company is introducing a brand-new memory storage system designed to accelerate performance. This technology acts as a ultra-fast shared memory cache, which the company claims can reduce the initial response lag of a data request by up to 90 percent.
The company also launched a management tool that coordinates how data moves through a system. This manager improves overall accuracy by 30 percent. Alongside the storage upgrades, the company introduced a special framework that allows businesses to deploy new operational profiles with a single click, completely removing the need for complex software coding.
Finally, the company introduced a new natural language platform designed to create digital workflows quickly. This platform helps businesses set up automated digital tasks in a fraction of the time it usually takes. Executives from the company emphasized that these smart digital tools will essentially function like digital employees, serving as the core foundation for modern workplace productivity moving forward.
