Huawei Launches New AI Storage Product for The Era of Large Model at

GITEX GLOBAL 2023

Huawei has launched a new AI storage model, the OceanStor of the leading businesses in the world." Enterprises face four
A310, designed for the era of large AI models at GITEX GLOBAL significant challenges in the development and implementation
2023. The solution provides optimal storage capability for of large model applications. First, data preparation takes a long
basic model training, industry model training, and inference in time, with dispersed data sources and slow aggregation. Currently,
segmented scenario models, unleashing new AI capabilities. The preprocessing about a hundred terabytes of data takes around
launch demonstrates Huawei's alignment with the latest trends of ten days. Secondly, for multi-modal large models using massive
AI development in the era of large models. The OceanStor A310 text and images as training sets, the current loading speed for a
deep learning data lake storage caters to different industries and large number of small files is less than 100MB/s, resulting in low
scenarios in large AI model applications. Peter Zhou, President efficiency in loading training sets. Third, frequent tuning of large
of Data Storage Product Line, Huawei said, "With the OceanStor model parameters and instability in the training platform leads to
A310, we are bringing our customers and partners a cutting-edge training interruptions approximately every two days on average.
AI storage solution to unleash new AI capabilities and create value The Checkpoint mechanism is needed to recover training, and
for various industries. Visitors to our GITEX stand can witness how the fault recovery process takes more than a day. Finally, the
Huawei is committed to accelerating the intelligent era, leveraging high threshold for large model implementation, complex system
a trusted, secure, and reliable OceanStor platform used by some construction, difficult resource scheduling, and GPU resource
utilization is usually below 40%. Huawei OceanStor A310’s deep
learning data lake storage caters to different industries and
scenarios in large model applications. In the context of basic/
industry large model scenarios, OceanStor A310 is a deep
learning data lake storage solution that offers unlimited horizontal
scalability and high performance for mixed workloads. It enables
end-to-end massive data storage management for AI processes,
including data collection, preprocessing, training, and inference.
It possesses data analysis capabilities consistent with HPC and
big data, allowing for the processing of data from similar sources.
Huawei is a Gold Sponsor of GITEX GLOBAL 2023 and the lead
sponsor for the event's cybersecurity program, Cyber Valley. Visit

Summit 2023 in Iraq

Huawei, a leading provider of information and communications accelerate Iraq's digital transformation while having the opportunity
technology (ICT) infrastructure and smart devices, together with to meet with our key partners and address the challenges they face
strategic partner Mindware, successfully hosted the ISP Summit in their network transformation journeys." James Zhang, Managing
2023 in Baghdad, Iraq. The eventbrought together industry leaders Director of Huawei Iraq Enterprise Business Group, said, "We are
to address the increasing demand for broadband services and
explored opportunities to accelerate the deployment of all-optical
Internet and next-generation networks. Under the theme of "F5G
Evolution Unleashing Green Digital" the Summit served as a
platform for industry leaders in the Internet Service Provider (ISP)
sector to exchange information on all-optical networks trends and
showcase leading technologies and solutions in the optical field
aiming to create a smarter and more resilient Internet infrastructure.
The event witnessed the participation of prominent players from
executives to technical experts in the ISP industry. Philippe Jarre,
President of Mindware Group, said, "We are excited to partner with
Huawei to provide advanced solutions to ISPs, as Iraq enters an era
of rapid growth. By bringing the industry together for the Summit,
we were able to demonstrate how Huawei's optical solutions can
