At the 16th Huawei Global Analyst Summit, Meng Guangbin, President of Intelligent Storage and Data Management Domain, Huawei’s IT Product Line, announced that Huawei ranked 1st globally in terms of growth rate of all-flash storage market share in 2018. Huawei intelligent storage has also gained 40% CAGR from 2012 to 2018.
Meng said, “Based on comprehensive capabilities for product and technology innovation, Huawei intelligent storage will continuously integrate with artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to help customers cope with explosive data growth, simplify their data management and maintenance, and accelerate data analysis and mining, so that customers will step into a more intelligent data era..”
Huawei covers a wide range of storage needs. For enterprise applications such as traditional databases, virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and office automation (OA) in data centres, Huawei provides the OceanStor enterprise storage platform which includes storage area networks (SAN) and network-attached storage (NAS), as well as its Dorado all-flash storage family. It is the industry's first vendor that support the NVMe architecture for mid-range and high-end all-flash storage models.
NVMe enables faster communication between solid-state drives (SSDs, or flash) and a host system, and offers sharp latency decreases, which brings quality data services to customers. OceanStor Dorado mid-range and high-end all-flash storage devices have a 0.3-millisecond latency.
For enterprises' big data analytics, mobile applications, and native cloud applications, Huawei released its data centre-level FusionStorage 8.0 converged distributed storage solution at Mobile World Congress (MWC) in February, 2019. Billed as the first distributed storage system in the industry to support critical enterprise workloads, FusionStorage is designed to break data silos among different types of storage and achieve the goal of One Data Center, One Storage.
The storage-as-a-service (STaaS) solution provides enterprises with cloud-based storage services. Besides being the industry’s first service to allow enterprises to move mission-critical services to the cloud without making changes, Huawei ensures efficient resource utilisation and free data flows on- and off-premises.
In Gartner's report, Huawei's intelligent storage has been named as a Leader in the Magic Quadrant for three consecutive years. To date, Huawei's intelligent storage has won the trust of more than 10,000 customers worldwide. According to Q418 statistics from Gartner, Huawei all-flash storage achieved the highest growth rate in the global flash market in 2018. In the Chinese market, Huawei's intelligent storage ranks first in terms of revenues, and shipment volume and capacity.
