Huawei promotes Green Storage for data centers to meet carbon neutrality goals

Huawei has recently underlined the significance of green storage for its data centers in a recent blog post. The Chinese tech giant states that eco-friendly techniques are quite useful and necessary to achieve carbon peak and neutrality goals.

According to the details, Huawei states that over 30% energy of a data center goes to storage. Eventually, it takes a notable portion of global energy consumption. Thus, it’s important to focus on power-efficient methods for sustainable data centers.

On the flip side, the Chinese tech giant elaborates on trends regarding the data center. To begin with, Huawei cites that the development of green data storage centers demands energy-efficient data storage and a reduction in power usage effectiveness (PUE).

Meanwhile, innovative solutions based on energy-saving storage techs act as an impulsive initiative for the low-carbon development of data centers. Apart from lessening storage energy intake, it also leads to sustainable development.

Huawei further put forth a handful of energy-saving data storage techs. For instance, Multi-protocol and solo convergence facilitate versatile storage solutions. It improves resource usage and supports files, objects, HDFS, and more.

In the segment, next is Data Reduction. It increases the storage volume and compresses the data without damaging them. Hence, it results in operational expenses and reduces energy consumption.

High-density design used for high-capacity SSDs and compact disks to store more data with less energy and space. Another one is near-storage computing processes the data closer to its storage location. Dedicated processors cover task completion efficiency and Smart Frequency bears AI-driven analytics.

Concluding the post, Huawei notes suggestions and says that the real focus should be the current power consumption of a single device to carbon emissions throughout the device’s lifecycle. Besides, tech vendors should opt for energy-efficient solutions. This will help in a unified set of energy standards to eliminate resource waste and pressure on companies.
