Huawei's Innovative All-Flash Storage Solution

At the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona 2026, Huawei introduced its next-generation OceanStor Dorado Converged All-Flash Storage. This remarkable technology has recently passed the technical validation by the Enterprise Strategy Group, which is now part of Omdia. As data volumes continue to escalate in the age of artificial intelligence, enterprises are rethinking their operational frameworks. This necessitates a significant upgrade in storage infrastructure to meet criteria for performance, flexibility, intelligence, and cost-effectiveness.

The report from the Enterprise Strategy Group emphasizes that while many storage providers offer all-flash solutions, compromises often arise in architecture design. These compromises can hinder performance, reliability, and cost considerations, limiting the overall benefits provided to organizations. In contrast, the Huawei OceanStor Dorado demonstrates exceptional performance and flexibility, offering intelligent management and a compelling total cost of ownership (TCO).

A key aspect of the evaluation showcases the OceanStor Dorado’s capabilities under simulated high-concurrency database environments. The system maintained ultra-high performance levels exceeding 876,256 IOPS, with an impressively low average response time of just 32 microseconds. The architecture supports local and parallel data storage for blocks, files, and objects, thus enabling seamless failover capabilities across data centers.

The SmartMatrix full-mesh architecture is another standout feature, allowing the system to tolerate the failure of up to seven out of eight controller enclosures without any service interruptions. Moreover, the FlashEver technology facilitates generations of convergence while eliminating service downtimes during storage migrations. This system additionally provides end-to-end intelligent protection with built-in ransomware detection for both SAN and NAS configurations.

Huawei's iMaster DME data management platform, equipped with the DataMaster tool, allows for automatic system health assessments, performance trend predictions, and fault detections in just minutes. Notably, the five-year TCO analysis revealed that the New-Gen OceanStor Dorado could cut total ownership costs by up to 64% compared to conventional hybrid storage options, allowing for significant savings in procurement, operations, maintenance, and energy consumption.

Yuan Yuan, the Head of Huawei's Data Storage Product Line, stated, "The technical validation from the Enterprise Strategy Group underscores Huawei's ongoing leadership in storage technology innovation. Moving forward, we will continue to deepen our innovation efforts and aid in accelerating digital and intelligent transformation across industries."
