With the rapid growth of agentic AI, the financial industry is actively exploring the use of AI agent applications such as wealth management assistants and intelligent investment advisors. At the same time, traditional core financial applications continue to evolve and this parallel growth of diverse applications raises higher core requirements for financial data infrastructure. Beyond pursuing extreme performance and high reliability, the industry is also placing greater emphasis on mass data storage, efficient data utilization, and comprehensive data resilience.

Accordingly, Huawei has outlined three core strategies in the data storage field.

• AI-powered data infrastructure: Huawei has integrated AI algorithms and intelligent models into existing, mature storage products to further improve storage performance and efficiency, meeting enterprises' intelligent transformation needs for existing services.

• AI data infrastructure: To support industry-wide AI adoption, Huawei has developed new storage products and solutions for dedicated scenarios such as AI training and inference, corpus processing, and agent applications.

• Data resilience: Huawei has strengthened data protection, risk warning, and ransomware protection capabilities to safeguard every bit of data and ensure uninterrupted and stable service operations.

Guided by these strategies, Huawei has upgraded its AI data infrastructure products and solutions.

New-Gen OceanStor Dorado Converged All-Flash Storage: AI technology integration and embedded intelligent algorithms and models enhance storage performance and energy efficiency. Based on built-in intelligent cache algorithms, the system proactively analyzes and learns the input/output (I/O) patterns of multiple application models, improving the cache hit rate by 50%. Furthermore, an intelligent power management feature uses AI models to proactively identify workload characteristics and dynamically optimize power consumption for key components such as central processing units (CPUs) and disks, delivering 30% higher input/output operations per second (IOPS) per watt, compared to industry alternatives.

iMaster DME Data Center Management Software: DataMaster, a new operations and maintenance (O&M) agent, enhances the O&M experience through AgenticOps. It supports 80% of routine O&M operations using natural languages and uses small models for disk fault prediction and log analysis, strengthening risk prevention. Using built-in knowledge bases, it also assists root cause locating and troubleshooting for failures, enabling fault recovery within minutes.

AI Data Lake Solution: Designed for AI corpus preparation, this one-stop solution integrates data storage, data management, resource management, and the AI toolchain to address the challenges of multimodal data processing. It enables a tenfold increase in the data cleansing speed and achieves retrieval from EB-level multimodal data in seconds, accelerating the supply of high-quality data.

AI Data Platform: Huawei has pioneered a 3 + 1 AI data platform that integrates the knowledge base, key-value (KV) cache store, and memory bank. This platform uses Huawei's Unified Cache Manager (UCM) to achieve high-precision knowledge retrieval of over 95%, reduce the time to first token (TTFT) by 90%, and perform long-horizon inference on a weekly basis. This enables enterprises to provide higher-quality data to AI, supporting the deployment of agent applications.

OceanProtect Backup Storage: New OceanProtect X8100/X9100 Backup Storage achieves a data reduction ratio of up to 90:1. In addition, its built-in AI-powered ransomware detection cards significantly shorten detection time.

In an age of AI-driven transformation, Huawei will continue to focus on AI data infrastructure. With clear strategic vision, industry-leading fundamental technology innovations, and comprehensive product and solution portfolios, Huawei will help financial institutions activate the value of their data assets and accelerate intelligent transformation across all scenarios.
