BANGKOK, Sept. 20, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

-- A Definition of the Data Storage Power Indicator System

Huawei officially released its white paper, Data Storage Power - The Digital

Cornerstone of High-Quality Development at Huawei Connect 2022 Tuesday.

Examining the development of the storage industry, the white paper defines

quantitative indicators to measure data storage capabilities and analyzes the

current data storage landscape across different regions around the world. It

aims to help governments and enterprises better evaluate, design, and build

data storage capabilities.

Gu Xuejun, Vice President of Huawei IT Product Line, said: "The data storage

capability is currently measured by capacity. However, with the rapid

development of the industry and the emergence of new, diversified data services

such as AI and big data, capacity alone is not enough to measure the future

development and construction of storage systems. We need a more scientific

definition and evaluation system to effectively measure data storage

capabilities."

The intelligent world is driving explosive data growth across industries, and

the digital transformation of these industries requires powerful data storage

capabilities or data storage power. The white paper explains the concept of

data storage power, as well as providing:

1. A concept and connotation of data storage power: Data storage power is a

comprehensive concept which includes storage capacity (the core), performance,

reliability, and greenness.

2. Quantitative research of the value of data storage: Huawei's calculations

show that a data storage investment of US$ 1 contributes to a direct value of

US$ 5, an indirect value of US$ 8, and an induced value of US$ 30-40.

3. An indicator system that assesses the data storage power of an area or a

data center: This system comprises 35 three-level indicators across four

directions — magnitude, efficiency, groundwork, and advancement — based on the

characteristics of countries and enterprises.

4. An evaluation of storage power in 20 countries and regions: The white paper

analyzes why certain countries lead the data storage power ranking and how

those that rank lower can catch up. It also provides policy suggestions for

improving data storage power.

"I consider this white paper to be a meaningful exploration that will generate

more interest in promoting the development of the data storage industry. Only

when data is well stored, quickly computed, and stably transmitted through

networks can digital infrastructure unleash the value of data and better

promote high-quality economic and social development," Gu said.
