Huawei's AI Data Center Solution: Transforming the Digital Landscape

On May 13, 2025, the Global Data Center Facility Summit took place in Dubai under the theme "Power the Digital Era Forward." This significant event convened over 500 industry leaders, technical experts, and partners in intelligent computing to explore new growth avenues and developmental paths for the data center industry in the era of AI. Amidst the discussions, Huawei unveiled its groundbreaking AI Data Center Solution, designed to accelerate the industry's transition to a new intelligent computing era.

A New Age of Computer Infrastructure

Charles Yang, Senior Vice President of Huawei and President of Global Marketing, Sales, and Services, articulated in his opening speech that we have entered a golden age of computer infrastructure. He emphasized that AI models are becoming advantageous across various sectors, with projections estimating that global AI Data Center capacity will exceed 100 GW by 2028. This rapid expansion is expected to translate into a market worth over $600 billion in the energy infrastructure space alone.

According to Charles, the three predominant challenges for the development of AI Data Centers are increased reliability, faster deployment, and surging energy demand. Huawei is committed to overcoming these challenges through innovative solutions, aligning with three key developmental trends for AI Data Centers in the future.

Key Development Trends

1. Enhanced Reliability Through Architectural Innovation: Reliability is paramount in AI Data Centers. Implementing isolated architecture can significantly bolster system reliability.
2. Accelerated Construction with Modular Frameworks: Huawei's innovative Outdoor PowerPOD employs disconnected architecture to create a dedicated energy system per container, expediting time-to-market.
3. Improving Energy Efficiency with Green Integration: By incorporating green energy sources, such as direct green power supply and on-site photovoltaic developments, Huawei enhances the energy efficiency of AI Data Centers through AI-driven optimization.

Reinforcing Infrastructure: Addressing Challenges

During the summit, Bob He, Vice President of Huawei Digital Power, presented on the topic of "Building a Robust Foundation for the Intelligent Computing Era." He indicated that as intelligent computing centers experience significant growth, they also face challenges like rapid deployment, elastic integration, and reduced total cost of ownership.

In response, Huawei introduced RASTM, the core principles for constructing AI Data Centers:

• - Reliability: Ensuring reliability throughout the entire lifecycle with proactive management of products, architecture, and professional services. The SmartLi solution from Huawei features a multi-layered end-to-end safety defense line to mitigate service impacts from unforeseen incidents.
• - Smooth Operation: AI Data Centers must provide seamless functionality to adapt flexibly to uncertainties in AI services. The Outdoor PowerPOD's architecture allows for integrated subsystems, supporting on-demand usage and phased capacity expansion.
• - Sustainability: Enhancing power supply efficiency is critical, with an emphasis on parallel system efficiency over module efficiency, while deploying the S-ECO mode widely. The modular UPS5000-H achieves an impressive efficiency of 97.5% for a single unit and reaches 99.1% in S-ECO mode.

A Bright Future for AI Data Centers

With a focus on reliability, lifecycle services, and professional advisory capabilities, Huawei is collaborating with partners to build AI Data Center solutions that excel in rapid deployment, comprehensive reliability, optimal total cost of ownership, and substantial flexibility, ultimately propelling advancement in the digital era.

At the summit, Huawei and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), along with partners such as Alibaba Cloud and China Mobile Group, released a White Paper on the Safety of Lithium-ion Battery Applications in Data Centers. This document outlines seven crucial dimensions for enhancing safety in lithium-ion battery applications within Data Centers, further establishing momentum towards enhancing reliability and quality in the sector.

Through innovation, Huawei Digital Power aims to deepen its involvement in the Data Center sector, breaking technological barriers and providing leading products and solutions to facilitate high-quality development in this important industry. As they work towards establishing a robust foundation for an intelligent world, Huawei's advances in AI Data Centers promise to shape the future of computing and drive progress in the digital arena.
