Huawei Digital Power has announced its strategic roadmap for advanced data centers to support Uzbekistan's artificial intelligence initiatives. The company revealed this during the Huawei Middle East & Central Asia Technology Carnival and Partner Conference.
Alex Xing, President of Huawei Digital Power Middle East and Central Asia, presented the RASTM framework. This framework aims to build next-generation AI infrastructure aligned with Uzbekistan's $1.5 billion AI development plan.
Uzbekistan's Artificial Intelligence Development Strategy 2030, signed by President Shavkat Mirziyoyev in October 2024, outlines key ambitions. It focuses on developing AI software and services worth $1.5 billion. The plan also includes establishing ten specialized AI research labs nationwide.
Furthermore, the strategy calls for high-performance servers designed to handle big data processing needs.
Global AI infrastructure investment is expected to exceed $400 billion by 2027. In addition, AI data centers are projected to surpass 100 GW in capacity by 2028, according to IDC.
Xing highlighted three challenges facing AI data centers: higher reliability, faster deployment, and greater energy demand. To tackle these, Huawei's RASTM framework focuses on: Architectural innovation for system stability and lifecycle reliability
Modular construction to reduce time-to-market by up to 50%
Energy efficiency through AI-driven management and renewable energy integration, achieving over 30% energy savings
Xing emphasized that the AI era demands significantly more power, storage, and efficiency. Huawei's innovations aim to meet these while ensuring reliability, agility, and sustainability.
Huawei continues to invest over $140 million annually in AI data center research and development. The company operates a 70,000 m² AI data center laboratory to advance its technology.
With over 1,000 data centers deployed in more than 170 countries, Huawei brings extensive global experience to Uzbekistan's National Data Center. This 2.1 MW facility uses dual-layer prefabricated modules and features low Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) infrastructure.
Finally, Xing called for collaboration, stating that data centers are national assets powering innovation and progress. Huawei Digital Power aims to build the digital foundation for evolving industries, governments, and societies based on its RASTM principles of reliability, agility, and sustainability.
