Huawei has launched its next-generation OceanStor Dorado All-Flash Storage, engineered to address the rising data storage needs of Nigerian enterprises operating mission-critical applications in today’s AI-driven environment.
As Nigerian companies adapt to the demands of the digital age—characterized by increasing data volumes and the need for faster, smarter operations—Huawei’s new storage system is designed to enhance critical infrastructure performance and reliability.
During the unveiling, Naveen Kumar, Technical Director of Huawei’s Advanced Solution Group, outlined the three standout features of the storage platform aimed at transforming enterprise data management:
- Multi-Protocol Convergence:
Kumar explained that the system supports seamless integration of various storage protocols—block, file, and object—through a unified resource pool. This design maximizes resource utilization and allows flexible allocation to meet evolving business needs. The multi-protocol parallel I/O path further boosts system performance, while enterprise features like replication and Active-Active deployment are consistently available across all protocols. - Extreme Resilience:
Powered by Huawei’s SmartMatrix full-mesh architecture, the system offers exceptional fault tolerance, remaining operational even if seven of eight controller enclosures fail. This results in a system reliability rate of 99.99999%. In addition, it provides robust ransomware protection for SAN and NAS environments with a 99.99% detection rate, and leverages intelligent snapshot technologies to guarantee 100% data availability during recovery. - Flashever Technology:
This feature allows for non-disruptive upgrades from previous hardware generations. Enterprises can integrate new-generation controllers or expand existing infrastructure without halting operations, enabling seamless transition to modern storage systems.
Huawei’s storage solutions are already trusted by over 26,000 organizations across 150+ countries, including 53 of the top 100 global banks. These systems serve sectors such as finance, manufacturing, healthcare, and education.
In conclusion, Kumar said the OceanStor Dorado All-Flash Storage is set to become the go-to choice for organizations seeking high-performance, resilient, and AI-ready storage solutions, helping to accelerate Nigeria’s digital and intelligent transformation.
