The theme for Huawei’s global data storage product line’s flagship event, the Innovative Data Infrastructure (IDI) Forum 2025, was “Data Awakening, AI Rising”.
Xie Liming, Vice President of Huawei Data Storage Product Line, pulled the curtains on Huawei’s new flagship, the New-Gen OceanStor Dorado Converged All-Flash Storage, the ideal choice for enterprises’ mission-critical services.
What you need to know
Businesses are rapidly embracing AI globally for their mission-critical applications and need an AI-ready data infrastructure that is both scalable and can rapidly deliver ROI to drive what we call Intelligent transformation.
Artificial intelligence alters this data into something more important for any business: an intangible asset.
Proprietary data is at the heart of this AI revolution and requires AI-ready data storage: legacy, conventional storage technologies are just not good enough.
Huawei has identified three major focuses of primary storage in the AI era:
- Converged cloud-native capabilities: Enterprise-class block, file, and object services are provided to reduce business complexity and total cost of ownership (TCO).
- Intrinsic resilience: Ransomware protection is integrated into production storage to enable early detection and rapid response against ransomware attacks, minimizing data loss and downtime while accelerating service recovery.
- AI agents: Self-optimized AI agents greatly improve efficiency and user experience.
The direction of travel of the entire tech industry is towards all flash storage, a no-compromise, best-in-class media technology based.
Huawei has developed a bespoke, industry-leading hardware stack with its own DPU (data processing units), NICs (network interface cards), large capacity SSDs (solid state drives) and controllers.
Meet the New-Gen OceanStor Dorado Converged All-Flash Storage
The converged and resilient all-flash storage with AI agents brings mission-critical applications into the AI era. This New-Gen storage has three features:
- Converged: This new product is the first within the industry to integrate block/file/object parallel architecture in order to reduce complexity and total cost of ownership. A unified, multi-protocol resource pool cuts the TCO by 25%, and performance is improved by 20% thanks to multi-protocol parallel IO paths.
- Resilient: The product delivers 99.99999% single-system reliability thanks to its SmartMatrix full-mesh architecture and supports active-active solutions for SAN, NAS, and S3, ensuring zero data loss. It provides business continuity even if seven out of eight controller enclosures are faulty. The system provides built-in ransomware protection for both blocks and files with 99.99% ransomware detection accuracy.
- AI Agent: The industry’s first storage with AI agents boosts management efficiency and streamlines operations. For example, the ransomware protection AI agent can deploy the solution in just 1 minute and prevent ransomware attacks with no latency.
Moreover, the New-Gen OceanStor Dorado Converged All-Flash Storage offers seamless upgrades across controllers or entire clusters with zero data migration or service interruption thanks to the FlashEver guarantee.
But it is the first step of a journey. Integrating data storage, data management, resource management and the AI toolchain, Huawei’s just-released AI Data Lake solution aims to deliver a high-quality AI corpus and speed up model training and inference.
The aim is to empower enterprises to embrace AI, the next logical step to digital transformation.
Huawei is one of a handful of players worldwide that can deliver the full AI stack: inference and training, across hardware, software and services. Having a one-stop-shop approach allows businesses to increase efficiency by reducing friction that’s inherent when dealing with many parties.
