Huawei’s New-Gen OceanStor Dorado All-Flash Storage

At the 2026 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, a significant milestone was achieved as Huawei's New-Gen OceanStor Dorado Converged All-Flash storage system successfully passed a technical validation conducted by the Enterprise Strategy Group, now part of Omdia. This approval highlights Huawei's commitment to providing advanced storage solutions that meet the increasing demands of modern enterprises.

Transformative Impact of AI on Data Storage

In an era where artificial intelligence drastically reshapes operational frameworks, businesses are experiencing rapid growth in data volumes. This transformation necessitates a shift in storage infrastructure - one that must excel in performance, resilience, intelligence, and cost-effectiveness. Many storage providers currently offer all-flash solutions; however, architectural compromises often hinder the ability to balance performance and reliability effectively, ultimately limiting operational benefits.

The technical report from the Enterprise Strategy Group offers valuable insights into the performance metrics, resilience, intelligent management, and total cost of ownership (TCO) of the New-Gen OceanStor Dorado system. The findings indicate that this storage solution excels in key performance areas and demonstrates competitive strength in the market, delivering a remarkable blend of high performance, superior resilience, and optimal TCO that aligns with the digital transformation requirements of businesses.

High-Performance Capabilities

Testing conducted in a simulated high-concurrency database environment revealed that the new all-flash system achieved an astonishing 876,256 IOPS with an average response time of just 32 microseconds. The architecture supports storage of diverse data types natively and operates in parallel across block, file, and object storage. The active-active solution allows for seamless failover between data centers, ensuring uninterrupted service delivery. Additionally, the SmartMatrix architecture is designed to withstand the failure of up to seven controller enclosures without affecting service continuity.

FlashEver technology facilitates inter-generational convergence by ensuring continuous service during storage replacement, thereby enhancing reliability. Moreover, the storage solution includes endpoint protection with integrated ransomware detection capabilities for both SAN and NAS environments.

The iMaster DME data management platform features the DataMaster agent, which automatically assesses the system's health, forecasts performance trends, and identifies faults within minutes.

Significant Cost Reduction

A comprehensive analysis of the five-year TCO suggests that the OceanStor Dorado storage system can lower overall expenses by up to 64% in comparison to traditional hybrid storage systems. This presents substantial savings in acquisition, operations, and energy consumption, making it an economically attractive option for businesses.

Yuan Yuan, President of the Huawei Data Storage Product Line, emphasized that this technical validation from the Enterprise Strategy Group underscores Huawei's continuous leadership in storage technology innovation. Looking ahead, the company aims to further enhance its innovative efforts to drive digital and intelligent transformation across various sectors.
