In the Map for File Storage, thanks to its innovative technologies and outstanding market performance, Huawei was recognized as a Leader in both Enterprise File Storage and High-Performance File Storage categories for its products, OceanStor Dorado All-Flash Storage and OceanStor Pacific Scale-Out Storage.
In the Map for Object Storage, Huawei was named a Leader for the first time ever, recognizing the strengths of OceanStor Pacific Scale-Out Storage.
File storage and object storage play an important role in the storage of massive unstructured data. In the file storage report, file storage is classified into enterprise file Storage and high-performance file storage.
Enterprise file storage focuses on R&D, production, and office file sharing, such as semiconductor EDA simulation, financial data exchange platform, carrier CDR system, and distributed container platform. Most of these applications generate massive small files. High requirements on performance, reliability, data security, and permission management. While high performance file storage is especially popular in fields like scientific computing, simulations, and media editing, where large-scale data sharing and access are essential. It stands out due to its superior directory hierarchy management, multi-user sharing, exceptional parallel file system performance, broad POSIX interface compatibility, and robust file consistency.
On the other hand, object storage is ideal for workloads like object-native applications, advanced data analytics, and backup and archiving. Its flat data structure, rich metadata definitions, standard RESTful APIs, efficient data retrieval, excellent scalability, fast access, and flexible management make it a powerful choice for managing these workloads.
Huawei OceanStor storage systems have been deployed in over 150 countries and regions around the world, serving customers in industries like finance, telecommunication, manufacturing, healthcare, government, and public utilities. Looking ahead, Huawei will tirelessly innovate and invest in data utilization and management efficiency, increase storage performance and reliability, and champion the spirit of realizing a green, low-carbon world. Huawei will stay committed to being a trusted choice for customers across various industries.
