Huawei OceanStor Pacific Series wins Best of Show Award Grand Prize at Interop Tokyo 2021

On April 14th, 2021, Huawei won the Best of Show Award Grand Prize for the Huawei OceanStor Pacific series Storage in Tokyo, Japan. The company was selected for the Server & Storage Division ICT exhibition held in Interop Tokyo. It’s Japan’s largest ICT exhibition.

The product was selected for its unique technical advantages – multi-protocol interworking, hybrid workloads-oriented, and high-density design. The judges also appreciated this next-level storage for high-performance data analytics (HPDA) for its high efficiency, which results in an astonishing performance.

At the event, the leading computing exhibition played host to a series of forums and workshops that highlighted key developments of the latest technologies within the industry.

In this line, Huawei also introduced its award-winning storage and its various unique features, which help organizations seamlessly handle industry upgrades and unlock data potential on the workshop.

The product has gone through different tests along with the other selected vendors before being awarded the Grand Prize. After getting this achievement Huawei authorities also feel proud and share the secret behind it. He said

“We are very pleased that our storage product has once again won Interop Tokyo’s Best of Show Award. It is no secret that HPC is evolving towards data-intensive computing, which means larger data volumes, higher reliability needs, and varying workloads. Therefore, our customers in the HPC industry need professional storage systems to better cope with these challenges.

With extensive technical know-how and industry practices, we have launched OceanStor Pacific series, the next-generation storage for HPDA. It has been vastly used in scientific research institutions, universities, and enterprises in Asia Pacific and Europe, helping them remove HPC bottlenecks while also accelerating the evolution from traditional HPC to HPDA.”

The industry’s first lossless protocol interworking technology made a great contribution in winning the award. It allows the consumer to access the same file over multiple protocols, such as POSIX/MPI/NFS/CIFS/HDFS/S3, this ensures zero data copy throughout the entire service process. It offers higher process and storage efficiency.

Huawei OceanStor Pacific series also supports multiple types of workloads. One storage system can process data from end to end providing high bandwidth for large files and high IOPS for small files.

To be mentioned, Interop Tokyo is one of the most esteemed networks computing industry events. At the same time, it’s the largest and most influential ICT showcase in Japan.
