All-Flash arrays – Performance without compromise

The Huawei OceanStor Dorado series is a family of enterprise all-flash arrays designed for maximum performance and reliability. Its end-to-end NVMe architecture and support for NVMe-oF protocols – including FC-NVMe, NVMe over RoCE, and NVMe over TCP – enable the construction of environments with very low latency and high throughput. The arrays provide convergence of block, file, and object services, allowing for flexible adaptation of the solution to various deployment scenarios.

In addition to performance, Dorado offers advanced resilience and data protection mechanisms, including HyperMetro (active-active) for volumes and file systems, and 3DC DR Star solutions for building three-site architectures.

The result is low latency, high availability, unparalleled performance, and simplified management for critical business applications.

Hybrid arrays – Flexibility and cost optimization

For organizations that need a balance between performance and cost, Huawei offers OceanStor hybrid arrays. They combine SSDs and HDDs, intelligently managing data and automatically moving it between storage tiers. This is an excellent choice for environments with mixed workloads — in both the public and private sectors.

Highly scalable file and object systems

Huawei also offers advanced solutions for storing unstructured data, which is becoming increasingly dominant in the digital era. OceanStor Pacific is a highly scalable, next-generation object storage platform designed to manage large amounts of unstructured data such as video, images, and files. Thanks to distributed file system technology, Pacific enables scaling to hundreds of petabytes of data, while offering high availability and flexibility. These systems are ideal for applications in AI, data backup, video analytics, scientific research, Industry 4.0, and the media and entertainment sector. Support for protocols such as S3, HDFS, NFS, and SMB enables easy integration with cloud, backup systems, and data platforms.

Huawei OceanStor Pacific is a highly scalable, distributed storage platform for unstructured data. Offering full convergence of block, file, and HDFS, it provides a unified data space and linear scaling of capacity and performance from a few nodes to hundreds of petabytes. The scale-out architecture with redundancy mechanisms (erasure coding) and automatic data rebuilding ensures high availability and cost efficiency.

The platform supports NFS, SMB, POSIX, MPI-IO, HDFS, Amazon S3, FTP, SCSI, iSCSI, OpenStack Cinder, which facilitates integration with backup systems, data platforms, and the cloud.

OceanStor Pacific excels in applications requiring work on large datasets: AI/ML, video analysis and archiving, media and entertainment, scientific research, and industry. Business benefits include flexible “on-demand” scaling, simplified management, and reduced TCO.

Huawei OceanProtect backup storage

A dedicated solution for data storage and protection that focuses on highly efficient data reduction while ensuring short backup recovery times. OceanProtect Backup Storage automatically identifies and eliminates data duplicates in real-time, reducing the amount of stored data by up to a 70:1 ratio. This allows organizations to store more data in less disk space. OceanProtect Backup Storage works with various backup software vendors such as Commvault, Veritas, and Veeam.

Huawei OceanProtect appliance

A comprehensive data backup platform that provides full protection against data loss and its permanent security. The appliance not only offers data space for backup but also a fully functional independent backup tool.

Performance and security

OceanProtect, in three variants — All-Flash, All-Flash NVMe, and Hybrid-Flash — allows for precise matching of the platform to the workload profile: from very fast backup creation to instant access/restore for virtual machines and databases. Built-in global variable-block deduplication and compression significantly reduce space consumption and network traffic, while NVMe architecture ensures low latency and high throughput during backup and recovery windows.

The solution offers advanced ransomware protection: immutable copies (WORM/immutability), logical isolation (air-gap), encryption, and anomaly detection. The fully redundant active-active architecture offers unparalleled data and service security capabilities compared to other products of its type.

Datacenter virtualization solution (DCS)

Huawei’s comprehensive solution that enables full computing virtualization in the data center. With this technology, enterprises can optimize resource utilization, increase IT flexibility, and reduce operational costs associated with infrastructure management.
DCS offers a central tool for managing the entire virtual environment, which allows for monitoring and optimizing resource utilization, such as CPU, memory, and disk space. Thanks to process automation and the ability to dynamically allocate resources, enterprises can maximize efficiency, eliminating resource waste and improving operational effectiveness.

The solution supports a scalable architecture with hierarchical resource separation, enabling system expansion with additional nodes as needed. The use of modular components allows organizations to easily and flexibly build data centers, adapting them to current business and technological requirements. Thanks to this flexibility, DCS supports both small and large virtual environments, including demanding applications.

DCS is characterized by broad compatibility, thanks to an open API interface. This enables integration with a wide range of servers, heterogeneous resource pools, and cloud management platforms. As a result, organizations can create a cohesive cloud service that encompasses both on-premises resources and public or private cloud, providing full flexibility in IT infrastructure management.

Network switches

Huawei switches are modern network devices designed to meet the requirements of both campus environments and data centers. They are characterized by high performance, low latency, and flexible expandability as the infrastructure grows.

Campus switches (CloudEngine S-Series) provide reliable connectivity in offices, institutions, and large corporate networks. They support automation features and intelligent QoS traffic control mechanisms, which guarantee stable operation of applications and services in a daily work environment.

Data Center switches (CloudEngine CE-Series) are designed to handle the most demanding cloud and virtualization applications. With support for the latest mechanisms and protocols such as VXLAN and BGP-EVPN, they enable the construction of flexible and secure network solutions in data centers.

Routers

Huawei NetEngine series routers include Enterprise-class devices (AR routers) and Carrier-class devices (NE).

Huawei NetEngine AR series routers provide high availability and performance in data transmission – both in WAN networks and in connections between company branches or the cloud. The routers support modern SD-WAN architecture, which allows for application identification, dynamic selection of the best transmission path, and cost optimization. Thanks to built-in security mechanisms and intelligent traffic management, AR routers guarantee stable operation of critical business applications, such as VoIP, video conferencing, and VDI.

Huawei NetEngine NE series carrier routers are designed for the largest telecommunications and corporate networks. They support advanced technologies such as MPLS, Segment Routing (SR), and SRv6, which ensures scalability, flexibility, and reliability when transmitting enormous volumes of data.

Network security

The entire infrastructure is protected by security solutions, including next-generation firewalls (NGFW). Huawei offers integrated intrusion prevention systems (IPS), SSL traffic inspection, content filtering, application control, and DDoS protection. These devices are supported by central platforms for threat and security policy management, which significantly simplifies maintaining consistent protection in distributed environments.

Advanced Wi-Fi networks

Huawei is one of the leaders in wireless networking, offering modern access points (APs) supporting the Wi-Fi 7 standard. The new generation of WLAN provides even higher throughput, ultra-low latency, and reliability thanks to technologies such as Multi-Link Operation (MLO), 4096-QAM, and 320MHz band support. Combined with advanced mechanisms for intelligent power and band management, Huawei’s Wi-Fi 7 networks guarantee stable connections even in environments with very high density of users and IoT devices.
