H3C NAVIGATE Global Summit 2025: Shaping the AI Era

On May 22, 2025, during GITEX Europe 2025, H3C officially launched its NAVIGATE Global Summit 2025 in Berlin. Under the theme of "Synergy+", the summit drew together global industry leaders, technical experts, and corporate representatives to explore innovative trends emerging in the AI landscape. This marked an important debut for H3C’s flagship event in Europe, symbolizing a new phase in the company’s global expansion strategy and international business development.

In his keynote speech, Tony Yu, President and CEO of H3C, emphasized the role of artificial intelligence as a significant "accelerator" for enhancing societal productivity. He outlined H3C’s vision with the mottos "AI in ALL" and "AI for ALL", underscoring the company’s commitment to fostering open collaboration worldwide. H3C unveiled a comprehensive intelligent computing solution designed to leverage "computing × connectivity" to reduce investment costs in AI Data Centers (AIDC) and improve operational efficiency.

H3C is also expediting the implementation of its extensive liquid cooling solutions, which play a crucial role in promoting environmentally sustainable practices within the AI industry. Moreover, through strategic partnerships, H3C is facilitating global upgrades in various sectors via its extensive AI portfolio, including the fast-expanding LinSeer AI solution. The company is dedicated to fostering an open and thriving ecosystem that integrates technological innovation with business synergy.

H3C’s co-president, Gary Huang, highlighted the transformative nature of AI across global industries, asserting that groundbreaking innovations must stem from collaborative ecosystems. With a "Partner First" principle paired with strategies like "AI in ALL" and "AI for ALL", H3C aims to build a profitable "Ecosystem Synergy" that incorporates comprehensive intelligent data processing capabilities and scenario-based solutions. The company has established connections with over 3,200 industry partners and 300 service partners across 181 countries, driving technological advances through a partnership-driven ecosystem.

The summit presentations elucidated H3C’s forward-looking strategies which focus on three central pillars: market-driven initiatives, innovative technology alliances, and localization strategies. H3C is committed to enhancing local innovation capabilities, promoting talent development, and nurturing localized ICT ecosystems to harmonize technological advancements with business ecosystems. By opening avenues for collaboration, H3C and its partners aim for collective success that ensures AI innovations translate into substantial industry advancements.

Building a Sustainable AI Foundation

Aligning with its "AI in ALL" strategy, H3C introduced an innovative "computing × connectivity" approach. This integrates three core components: computing infrastructure, high-speed networks, and environmentally friendly technologies to deliver an overarching intelligent computing solution. These solutions, which utilize lossless high-performance networks, next-generation AI servers, and resource management platforms, significantly lower AIDC investment costs while boosting operational efficiencies.

Ray Xu, H3C’s Senior Vice President and leader of Cloud, Compute, and Storage product lines, emphasized that the integration of AI necessitates a "diverse, efficient, and green" computing system. H3C has established a comprehensive technological ecosystem that supports over 80 AI accelerator cards, more than 10 mainstream CPUs, and over 20 AI server models. Their infrastructure leverages SuperPOD AI clusters capable of training models with trillions of parameters and the LinSeer AI solution to create a cohesive computing architecture that optimizes efficiency through the "computing × connectivity" synergy.

In pursuing eco-friendly innovations, H3C is committed to the "ALL in GREEN" philosophy, further developing its full-stack liquid cooling solution featuring revolutionary G-Flow immersion cooling technology. This lowers the Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) for data centers to an industry-leading value of 1.1, enhances cooling efficiency by 40%, and achieves an Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP) standard free of ozone-depleting substances.

This tripartite approach to computing is designed to be varied and adaptable, highly efficient, and sustainable. It creates a scalable model for the worldwide adoption of AI, driving transformation across sectors and unlocking intelligent productivity on a global scale.

In a world where AI is on the rise and the demand for data processing is rapidly increasing, high-performance networks have become pivotal for upgrading intelligent data centers. Qiao Yan, Senior Vice President of H3C and head of the network product line, explained how H3C is addressing these challenges with its intelligent computer network solutions, redefining operational efficiencies through innovation. The DDC (Diversified Dynamic-Connectivity) product line is characterized as a technological breakthrough for intelligent high-performance computer networks, achieving lossless and non-blocking 400G/800G Clos Fabric networks at scale and providing a 107% improvement in effective bandwidth compared to traditional RoCE solutions.

Additionally, H3C has collaborated with key ecosystem partners to submit several drafts concerning "Open Schedule Fabric" technology to the IETF, thereby accelerating the commercialization and standardization of DDC solutions. The summit also featured the groundbreaking 51.2T CPO Switch, an innovative solution integrating silicon photonics with co-packaged optics technology. This offers an 8-fold improvement in cluster throughput and reduces overall operational costs by 30%, creating a high-speed, environmentally friendly network for intelligent data centers.

Moving Forward with Collective Ecosystem Power

Collaborative ecosystems are recognized as the driving force for AI adoption. Backed by the technological foundation of "AI in ALL" and a global partner network, the "Ecosystem Synergy" strategy by H3C completes the loop from technological empowerment to industrial value creation. Through close collaborations with ecosystem partners, H3C integrates AI products, solutions, and LinSeer LLM capabilities to foster intelligent transformations in various sectors, including hospitality, retail, healthcare, education, public services, and transportation, significantly lowering barriers to AI and making innovations accessible to all.

At the summit, H3C also unveiled its new sub-brand, H3C Aolynk, targeting global SMEs under the vision of "Connecting ALL with AI". H3C Aolynk promises simplified designs, intelligent operational and maintenance functions, and comprehensive scenario solutions to address the "last-mile" digital challenges faced by SMEs. Present at the launch were co-president and CTO Steven Yoe, Senior Vice President and CMO Yang Xi, and Senior Vice President and President of Commercial BG Wang Xin from H3C.

As H3C continues to harness the strength of its collective ecosystem, it breaks down technical barriers and democratizes AI access, aiming to fully unleash the multiplier effects of computing power and connectivity while promoting smart industrial transformations. By rendering technological innovations accessible to all, H3C and its partners contribute to crafting an inclusive digital future where AI benefits all industries and society as a whole.
