four areas:

-Renew computing & storage: The intelligent cloud management platform enables

agile provisioning of various computing power resources. The innovative DPU

technology allows the CPU to focus on processing services, unleashing the full

potential of computing power and increasing the virtual machine (VM) capacity

by 30%. The storage module also collaborates with the NoF+ network to achieve

double the storage performance.

-Renew network: The innovation DCI-DCN synergy enables centralized network

management and one-stop service provisioning in minutes, building data center

networks with ultimate agility and efficiency.

-Renew reliability: The full-stack disaster recovery (DR) solution offers

comprehensive backup, covering from a single piece of hardware to the entire

cloud platform. The solution flexibly copes with various service needs,

enabling uninterrupted online service operations around the clock. The

storage-optical synergy shortens the service switchover time of the

active-active link to 5 ms. This allows storage service recovery in 1 second,

completely unnoticeable by users.

-Renew green: Featuring an innovative ultra-high density design, the converged

cooling solution maximizes the power usage effectiveness (PUE), reducing annual

power consumption by more than 14%. The prefabricated modular equipment room

shortens the delivery time by more than 70% and creates no onsite construction

waste, causing little harm to the environment.

Next-generation intelligent campus solution: Huawei renewed and upgraded the

office system, network architecture, and IT equipment room — the three major

modules of campus ICT infrastructure. This accelerates intelligent upgrade and

digital transformation of campuses, offering more efficient, eco-friendly, and

convenient campus services.

-Intelligent office system upgrade: Huawei's proprietary AirEngine Wi-Fi 6 and

IdeaHub collaborate with each other based on unique intelligent multimedia

dispatching algorithms, allowing one-click meeting access, wireless screen

projection, and video conferences with 4K video, Hi-Fi audio, and zero frame

freezing.

-Campus network architecture renewal: Based on the ground-breaking

long-distance mixed transmission (wireless, copper cable, and optical)

technology, Huawei's solution delivers high-speed communications and power

supply for remote devices. The solution redefines simplified architecture for

next-generation campus networks by simplifying network architecture from three

layers to two layers. In addition, it reduces the power consumption of the

aggregation equipment room as well as the entire network and cuts down the

total cost of ownership (TCO) by 38%.

-Campus IT equipment room convergence: Traditional IT equipment room faces

challenges such as dispersed hardware procurement and heavy power consumption.

Based on the all-in-one preconfigured design, Huawei's solution integrates all

campus ICT modules (computing, storage, network, power supply, etc.) to build a

hyper-converged IT equipment room. A single cabinet can serve as an independent

data center. Such all-in-one design shortens the system delivery time by 88%

and the overall power consumption by 58%.

Focusing on these two major scenarios, Huawei extensively integrates ICT with

industry trends and customers' business requirements in developing its many

cutting-edge products with industrial scenarios, such as energy,

transportation, and finance. With innovative technology, Huawei drives customer

success in digital transformation and upgrade.

-In the oil and gas industry, pipeline management has always been challenging,

from complex security protection and high maintenance costs to low inspection

efficiency and monitoring blind spots. Huawei's all-optical sensing solution

leverages optical sensing products, algorithms, and engines to help Shandong

Jihua Gas implement intelligent pipeline inspection. The solution increases the

risk detection accuracy to 97%, compared to the industry's next-best at 83%.

With the solution in place, Jihua has improved pipeline security and

management, reduced pipeline O&M costs, and made significant progress in its

digital transformation journey.

-In the transportation industry, traditional urban rail communications systems

suffer from low bandwidth, frequent package loss in real-time data

transmission, and inefficient system deployment. As a result, many

bandwidth-hungry systems have historically not been deployed, such as the

Passenger Information Systems (PISs). Huawei's Wi-Fi 6 train-to-ground

communications solution, powered by a number of cutting-edge technologies,

delivers a maximum of 1.4 Gbit/s bandwidth for trains moving at a speed of 160

km/h. In addition, the solution supports fast soft handover within 30 ms,

ensuring secure and stable urban rail operations. The all-in-one chassis is

easy to deploy and configure, shortening the service provisioning time by 67%.

-In the financial industry, banks face traffic, service, and data challenges

brought on by rapid financial service upgrades and changes. Their legacy data

centers, built based on non-cloud architecture, have limited service capacity.

With internal modules closely packed with one another, these data centers are

not able to effectively support the fast rollout of innovative services and

rapid growth of service traffic. To cope with these challenges, many banks are

migrating their core systems from traditional centralized architecture to

advanced distributed architecture. To help its financial customers, Huawei

provides a solid cloud base for traditional banks to implement digital

transformation, and helps digital banks build their own high-reliability

platforms, enabling large-scale, multi-scenario innovation across the industry.
