Following the announcement of its AI strategy and full-stack, all-scenario AI solutions in 2018, Huawei launched the AI-Native database GaussDB and the highest-performance distributed storage FusionStorage 8.0 today in Beijing.
Following the announcement of its AI strategy and full-stack, all-scenario AI solutions in 2018, Huawei launched the AI-Native database GaussDB and the highest-performance distributed storage FusionStorage 8.0 today in Beijing. The aim of this launch is to redefine data infrastructure through a Data + Intelligence strategy.
“Humanity is entering
the age of an intelligent world,” said David Wang, Huawei Executive
Director of the Board and President of ICT Strategy & Marketing. “Data
is the new factor of production, and intelligence the new productivity.
Heterogeneous, intelligent, and converged databases will become the key data
infrastructure of the financial, government, and telecoms industries.”
Committed to building a
fully connected, intelligent world, Huawei is a major contributor to ICT
infrastructure and smart devices. The leading ICT product and solutions
provider continues to invest and innovate in AI computing power, algorithms,
and labeled data with many breakthroughs. Mr. Wang added, “AI-Native database
GaussDB will help enhance HUAWEI CLOUD’s capabilities and fully unleash the
power of diversified computing, which includes x86, ARM, GPU, and NPU
computing. We aim to continuously push our AI strategy forward and foster a
complete computing ecosystem. Together with our partners, we will move further
towards the intelligent world.”
At the launch
event, Mr. Wang also reiterated Huawei’s commitment to advancing intelligent
industries by innovating together with customers and partners and building a data
industry ecosystem on the principles of openness, collaboration, and shared
success.
GaussDB:
The world’s first AI-Native database
GaussDB
represents two major breakthroughs:
First, GaussDB
pioneers the embedding of AI capabilities into the full lifecycle of
distributed databases, making their self-O&M, self-tuning, self-diagnosis,
and self-healing possible. In online analytical processing (OLAP), online
transaction processing (OLTP), and hybrid transaction/analytical processing
(HTAP) scenarios, GaussDB uses the optimality theory to create the industry’s
first reinforcement learning self-tuning algorithm, improving tuning
performance by over 60%.
Secondly,
thanks to its innovative heterogeneous computing framework, GaussDB harnesses
the power of diversified computing, including x86, ARM, GPU, and NPU computing.
In the TPC-DS benchmark test, GaussDB ranked No.1 in terms of performance, 50%
higher than the industry average.
GaussDB
supports multiple deployment scenarios, including local deployment and
deployment on private or public clouds. On HUAWEI CLOUD, GaussDB provides a
full spectrum of high-performance data warehouse services for customers in
financial, Internet, logistics, education, and automotive industries.
FusionStorage
8.0: The world’s highest-performance distributed storage
The intelligent
world will raise standards even higher for the performance, scale, and
manageability of storage systems. In response, FusionStorage 8.0 offers three
innovative features:
First,
FusionStorage 8.0 boasts the industry’s highest distributed storage
performance. In the SPC-1 test, FusionStorage 8.0’s read-write performance per
node reached 168,000 IOPS in 1ms, powering distributed storage for the first
time to support critical enterprise applications.
Secondly,
FusionStorage 8.0 simultaneously supports block, file, object, and Hadoop
Distributed File System (HDFS) protocols, allowing a single storage system to
manage an entire data center.
Thirdly,
FusionStorage 8.0 integrates AI into full-lifecycle storage management, from
resource planning and service provisioning, to system optimization, risk
prediction, and fault location.
An
industry ecosystem of openness, collaboration, and shared success
Huawei has redefined data
infrastructure from computing, storage, and data processing. It leads
diversified computing to make computing power more accessible and affordable.
By redefining storage architecture, Huawei helps to increase storage efficiency
and lead the way to intelligent storage. And a redefined data processing
platform will make data analytics more intelligent and unleash the data of
value faster.
So far, Huawei’s GaussDB and
FusionInsight big data solutions have been deployed in 60 countries and
regions, serving over 1,500 customers. These two solutions have been adopted by
over 500 business partners, and are widely used in industries such as finance,
telecoms, government, energy, healthcare, manufacturing, and transportation.
HUAWEI CLOUD has launched 13 database services, including data warehouse
services on the cloud for industry customers. Huawei FusionStorage was the
market leader according to the IDC’s software-defined storage market share
report in 2018.
Upholding the principles of
openness, collaboration, and shared success, Huawei actively works with
customers and partners to foster a database and storage industry ecosystem
consisting of industry applications, platforms and tools, and standards
organizations and communities.
To this end, Huawei has
established long-term partnerships with independent software vendors, including
iSSTech, DCITS, DHC Software, E-Hualu, Yonyou, and AsiaInfo, to pursue data
applications in vertical industries. Huawei has conducted innovations in
platforms and tools with partners such as Fanruan Software, ARM, Veritas, and
China Standard Software. It is also an active contributor to standards
organizations and communities, including OpenSDS, China Artificial Intelligence
Industry Alliance, Open Compute Project, OpenStack, and Cloud Native Computing
Foundation.
The Huawei Global
Industry Vision (GIV) predicts that global data volume will increase from
32.5 ZB in 2018 to 180 ZB in 2025. Enterprise demand for AI computing power
doubles every three months, and AI adoption will rise to 80% by 2025. Looking
to the future intelligent world, Huawei will continue to invest and innovate,
and work with partners to redefine data infrastructure. Together, they aim to
build a complete ecosystem for diversified computing and make intelligent
industries a reality.
