GITEX 2020: Huawei previews the future of data centres

At GITEX Technology Week, ICT firm Huawei gathered regional and global experts to explore the value of next-generation data centres for the intelligent era, in which data is a key production factor.

The Huawei Middle East Data Centre Network Online Summit 2020 featured speakers from leading companies such as Huawei, Gartner, Solutions by stc, and more.

Top experts at the conference recognised the huge surges in data volumes happening now and expected in the future. They delved into how computing power loss and others must be addressed in order for governments and enterprises to realise the full value of their data centre resources.

Conference speakers also explored the latest data centre network technology trends, covering how enterprises can mine intelligence from data, accelerate their digital transformation, and promote the development of the Middle East digital economy over the coming years.

Alaa Bawab, Vice President for Enterprise Networking Business at Huawei Middle East, said, “This year has seen an explosive growth of digital technologies in the Middle East and around the world. That has led to massive transformation across almost all industries, as entities in the public and private sectors alike have accelerated their digitalisation plans and sought to stay connected as seamlessly as possible. Data centres must evolve in order to meet the increased demand of a more connected society, which leverages the capabilities of 5G, cloud, and artificial intelligence to create more value.”

Today, AI is driving data centre reconstruction and the transition from an era defined by the cloud into the AI era. Compared with earlier infrastructure, an AI data centre goes further in being an actual business-value centre, enabling organisations to gain true wisdom from transient data as well as efficiently processing their data.

To that end, Huawei launched its autonomous data centre network solution for customers in the Middle East during GITEX. The upgraded solution delivers high-density autonomous driving, 400GE super capacity, and zero-packet-loss intelligent experience, leading data centre networks into the intelligence era.

Under the slogan of ‘New Value Together’, is participating at GITEX Technology Week together with partners to showcase how governments and organisations in the Middle East can create new value through synergy across five tech domains.
