Supporting Uzbekistan's $1.5 Billion AI Vision

Uzbekistan 's Artificial Intelligence Development Strategy 2030, signed in October 2024, outlines ambitious plans for the country. The comprehensive strategy aims to develop $1.5 billion in AI-based software and services while establishing ten specialized AI research laboratories nationwide. Additionally, the plan calls for creating high-performance server infrastructure specifically designed for big data processing.

These initiatives are crucial as global AI infrastructure investment is projected to exceed $200 billion by 2028, with Datacenter IT Power Capacity in Asia/Pacific* to Reach 94.4 Gigawatts in 2028, according to IDC.

The RAS^TM Framework: Reliable, Agile, Sustainable

Addressing the demands of AI, Alex Xing described three major challenges facing AI data centers: higher reliability, faster rollout, and greater energy demand. To meet these challenges, he presented Huawei's three-pillar strategy, which focuses on architectural innovation to enhance system stability and ensure lifecycle reliability; modular construction, which significantly shortens time-to-market through high prefabrication rates and reduced onsite labor; and efficiency driven by green power and optimization, where AI-driven management and direct integration of photovoltaic and other renewable sources can deliver over 30% energy savings.

Alex Xing introduced Huawei's RAS^TM framework, the guiding principle for next-generation AI data centers that addresses these critical challenges.

First, the framework focuses on higher reliability through system-wide architecture innovation, enhanced stability across the entire infrastructure, and comprehensive lifecycle reliability management.

Second, it enables faster deployment through modular construction with high prefabrication rates, significantly reduced onsite labor requirements, and up to 50% faster time-to-market.

Third, the RAS^TM approach prioritizes greater energy efficiency with AI-driven operational optimization, direct integration of renewable energy sources, and over 30% energy savings compared to traditional designs.

"The AI era demands 10 times more power, 10 times more storage, and 10 times more efficiency," Xing emphasized. "Our innovations meet these demands while maintaining reliability, agility, and sustainability."

Ongoing Commitment to Innovation

Huawei continues to invest heavily in the future of AI infrastructure. The company allocates over $140 million annually in AI data center R&D and maintains a dedicated 70,000 m² AI data center laboratory to advance the technology. With over 1,000 data centers deployed across 170+ countries, Huawei brings extensive global experience to its projects. This expertise benefits Uzbekistan through the National Data Center, a 2.1 MW facility featuring dual-layer prefabricated modules and low PUE infrastructure.

Alex Xing concluded with a call to collaboration, emphasizing that in the new era of intelligence, data centers are not just infrastructure but national assets powering economies, innovation, and progress. He noted that at Huawei Digital Power, the company is not just building facilities, but laying the digital bedrock for industries to evolve, governments to transform, and societies to thrive, guided by the RAS^TM principle of being reliable, agile, and sustainable.
