Huawei launches AI-ready data storage for carriers to transform data assets
"The AI-powered transformation of various industries is creating a golden era for data," said Dr. Zhou during his keynote speech. "Global carriers are continuously exploring business value by capitalizing on and monetizing application scenarios, such as smart home and digital factories—and that means higher demands on data storage, service capabilities, and business models."
Unified Data Lake Strategy for Enhanced AI Capabilities
To address these evolving challenges, Huawei has introduced an AI-Ready data lake solution that breaks down data silos, making organizational data visible, manageable, and available. This approach enables carriers to transform disordered data into high-quality assets, unlocking significant business value.
The comprehensive storage portfolio addresses the full spectrum of carrier data needs. For mission-critical production workloads, Huawei's New-Gen OceanStor Dorado Converged All-Flash Storage and OceanStor A Series High-Performance AI Storage feature 100 million-level IOPS, financial-grade reliability, and efficient AI training and inference capabilities. These solutions support tens of billions of daily charging services and robust mobile financial applications.
For mass data management, the New-Gen OceanStor Pacific All-Flash Scale-Out Storage provides industry-leading density and low power consumption with exabyte-level scalability, ideal for emerging services like live streams and XR games. Complementing these offerings, the New-Gen OceanProtect All-Flash Backup Storage delivers comprehensive data protection with five times faster data recovery than industry alternatives, supporting critical needs such as emergency drills and AI application development.
Advanced Data Storage Services Accelerate AI Adoption
Recognizing that carriers face multiple challenges in AI implementation—including weak data engineering, inadequate model development platforms, long data preparation times, and complex application development processes—Huawei has introduced the DCS AI Solution. This offering provides carriers with a one-stop AI toolchain and containerized environment to accelerate fine-tuning and deployment of AI models.
FlashEver Business Model Maximizes Investment Value
The FlashEver business model introduced by Dr. Zhou addresses the investment challenges posed by rapidly evolving services and technologies. This approach protects carrier investments by providing an evolutionary, flexible architecture enabling seamless upgrades for live-network equipment. It also includes platform services with flexible purchase options, SLA assurances for high-quality customer experiences, and diverse storage and data services tailored to carrier requirements.
"Huawei remains committed to continuous innovation, specifically building the AI-ready data storage foundation and future-proof storage power to fuel AI adoption across the carrier industry," Dr. Zhou added.
In 2025, commercial 5G-Advanced deployment is accelerating, with AI helping carriers reshape business, infrastructure, and operations. Huawei is actively working with carriers and partners worldwide to accelerate the transition towards an intelligent world.
MWC Barcelona 2025 is being held from March 3 to March 6 in Barcelona, Spain. During the event, Huawei is showcasing its latest products and solutions at stand 1H50 in Fira Gran Via Hall 1.

How AI Is elevating aviation from operational efficiency to passenger experience
Image: Supplied Aviation is undergoing one of its most profound transformations, one that is not driven by new aircraft or routes, but by algorithms. Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer a back-office tool or emerging experiment. It's fast becoming the engine room of the modern aviation experience, reshaping not only how airlines and airports operate, but how they connect with the people they serve. The commercial pressures facing the sector today are relentless: fuel prices, operational bottlenecks, pilot shortages, passenger expectations, sustainability mandates. And yet, within this pressure cooker, AI has emerged as a strategic release valve. Done right, it's helping aviation leaders build resilience, unlock profitability, and deliver the kind of personalised service travelers increasingly expect. One of the most effective applications we've seen is Lufthansa's flight operations optimisation platform. It digests data from a staggering number of sources , aircraft telemetry, crew availability, airspace restrictions, weather , and offers real-time routing and resource recommendations. Not hypotheticals. Real suggestions that operations managers are acting on 90% of the time. That's a sea change in how decisions are made, with measurable benefits in fuel savings and on-time performance. At ground level, the picture is just as compelling. Biometric boarding gates at Denver International. AI-powered debris detection systems at Then there's the passenger experience. In a market where loyalty is hard won, AI is helping airlines move beyond reactive service to proactive hospitality. American Airlines is using AI to tailor everything from seat upgrade offers to travel recommendations, all based on previous behavior and contextual data. For frequent travellers, that small touch of relevance often makes the difference between a one-time flyer and a lifetime customer. AI's value goes beyond the customer-facing sphere AI's value also extends well beyond the customer-facing sphere. British Airways is using RFID systems to reduce baggage mishandling. TAV Technologies is applying AI and computer vision to minimise aircraft turnaround times. Predictive maintenance tools are flagging equipment issues long before a delay becomes inevitable. And the deeper we embed AI into operations, the more we see its compound effect,not just cost savings, but smarter planning, smoother workflows, and happier passengers. Of course, integration doesn't come easy. Legacy systems are a challenge. So is data governance. Considering in addition to this facial recognition and biometric tracking, there are important conversations to be had around privacy and ethics. But these are solvable issues. What's harder to engineer is the cultural shift: getting aviation leaders to see AI not as a patch or pilot, but as core infrastructure. We now see a clear inflection point. The airlines and As someone who's been in the room with industry decision-makers, I'll say this. Those who embed AI deeply into their operations,across ground, air, and digital touchpoints,are the ones who will define the next decade of aviation. They won't just be more efficient. They'll be more adaptable, more trusted, and more competitive. Because in the skies, as in business, altitude is nothing without foresight. And AI is what's giving this industry its clearest view yet.

Nearly 90% of videogame developers use AI agents, Google study shows
A Google Cloud survey showed that 87% of videogame developers are using artificial intelligence agents to streamline and automate tasks, as the industry focuses on optimizing costs following a wave of record layoffs. Most of the respondents in the report, published on Monday, said AI was helping automate cumbersome and repetitive tasks, freeing developers to focus on more creative concerns. Gaming publishers have turned to AI to deal with the industry-wide challenge of ballooning development costs and elongated creation cycles stemming from high fan expectations and intense competition. The study, conducted by Google and The Harris Poll, surveyed 615 game developers in the U.S., South Korea, Norway, Finland, and Sweden in late June and early July. Around 44% of developers use agents to optimiae content and process information such as text, voice, code, audio and video rapidly, enabling them to exercise autonomy and make decisions, the study showed. But the use of AI in videogames is a highly contentious topic, with many within the industry concerned over potential job losses, intellectual property disputes and lower pay. Last year, Hollywood's videogame performers went on strike over AI and pay issues, while studios shut down and more than 10,000 people lost their jobs. The industry is expected to gain momentum this year and the next, with the launch of premium titles and new consoles seen to boost spending. According to the survey, 94% of developers expect AI to reduce overall development costs in the long term. That, even as roughly one in four developers find it challenging to precisely measure the return on investment of their AI implementations, while costs associated with integrating the technology are also high. Around 63% of those surveyed expressed concerns over data ownership as the legality around licensing and who exactly owns AI-generated content remains unclear.
