SHENZHEN, China, May 29, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Huawei announced the worldwide launch of the next-generation mass storage

system -- OceanStor Pacific Series. The series delivers efficient,

cost-effective, and reliable services for AI, HPC, videos, and other mass data

scenarios by breaking architectural, service, and performance boundaries, and

leveraging uncompromised multi-protocol interworking, next-generation elastic

EC algorithm, and a series of dedicated hardware. This series marks a new

standard for future-oriented mass data storage, helping enterprises fully

unleash data power in the intelligent age.

The fourth industrial revolution has made digital production the currency of

modern business models. Digital production turns data into opportunities, then

these opportunities into services, and finally into profits. With this new

production factor, enterprises must find a way of cost-effectively collecting

and storing different types of data such as structured data from core services

and mass unstructured data from 5G, IoT, and UHD. Enterprises use AI

technologies to analyze and process the massive amounts of data to convert data

into knowledge and services, improving production efficiency.

Peter Zhou, President of Huawei Data Storage and Intelligent Vision Product

Line, said, "Mass data will play an increasingly important role in enterprise

digital transformation. Today, only 2% of global data is stored, and only 10%

of the data is being mined for further value. Enterprises are facing

insufficient capacity, data silos, and complex management when dealing with

mass data. Our OceanStor Pacific Series is designed to answer these pain

points, setting a new benchmark for efficient, economical, everlasting mass

data storage, and helping us become the trusted choice for mass data."

Shang Haifeng, President of Huawei Mass Storage Domain, elaborated on Huawei's

three strategic directions for mass data scenarios:

- Leading technologies: Huawei builds a series of dedicated hardware and

leverages software innovations such as multi-protocol interworking, efficient

reduction algorithms, and multi-level reliability to meet scenario-specific

needs.

- Business innovations: Huawei leverages industry-leading data redundancy

protection and reduction technologies to be the first industry player to

promote the business model for available capacity. This model enables users to

know exactly what they are getting from the start, helping lower procurement

costs, TCO, and the usage threshold of mass storage.

- Industry expertise: Driven by industry-specific requirements, Huawei

constantly innovates its products, accelerates the digital transformation of

enterprises, and unleashes data power.

Efficient, Economical, and Everlasting: The Trusted Choice for Mass Data

Huawei released its first generation of file storage in 2009 and has

continuously invested in mass data storage ever since, ranking No. 1 in market

share in China for four consecutive years. The OceanStor Pacific Series aims to

become the trusted choice for mass data by fully utilizing years of know-how in

software and hardware, and making groundbreaking innovations in efficiency,

cost, and reliability.

- Efficient: This series breaks the service boundary to implement uncompromised

interworking of file, HDFS, and object protocols, addressing performance and

semantic loss issues caused by traditional gateways. In autonomous driving R&D,

one Huawei storage system streamlines data processing across different phases.

Data does not need to be migrated between multiple storage systems, improving

service processing efficiency by 25% and reducing space by 20%. By breaking the

performance boundary, the next-generation file system supports bandwidth- and

OPS-intensive applications, adapting to increasingly complex HPC loads.

- Economical: This series breaks the architectural boundary with the

innovative, high-reliability vNode mode along with the next-generation elastic

EC technology. It yields a disk utilization of up to 93%, over 40% higher than

the industry average, without compromising performance and reliability. Its

brand-new node with high density and large capacity supports 120 disks in just

a 5 U space with 2.67x density than general-purpose storage servers and 62.5%

space reduction. Hot, warm, and cold data is automatically tiered onto SSDs,

HDDs, and Blu-ray disks on demand, meaning that data can flow freely without

intervention.

- Everlasting: The series provides a four-level mechanism for data, devices,

systems, and solutions to ensure high reliability. Its comprehensive sub-health

detection and pre-processing identify fault risks before they occur. The

OceanStor Pacific Series uses cross-cluster active-active and three-site

multi-active DR mechanisms for cross-region DR, ensuring 24/7 online services

of banking images, online videos, and other production applications.

Huawei OceanStor storage has been deployed in more than 150 countries for more

than 12,000 customers in a variety of sectors, including carriers, finance,

government, energy, healthcare, manufacturing, and transportation. Huawei

OceanStor storage is the ideal choice for worldwide customers looking to store

and process their service data.
