and sustainability in the areas of Green Technology, High Performance
Computing, Scientific Software Application, Networking Solutions and more.

The
Cognitive Datacenter reference site will be a showcase of Huawei and Keppel

datacenter environment. Enterprises will be able to leverage deep learning and
AI-driven computing to drive automated insights that will inform their next
step of growth. It will feature technologies geared towards providing a

allows enterprises a single interface to customize storage resources and data
processing capabilities across different data centers on-demand. As a result,
enterprises will lower operating and maintenance costs while increasing
operational efficiency.

Shao Tong, Managing Director, Huawei Enterprise Business Group (Singapore)
said: “Enterprises are going through disruptive phases of digital transformation.
They are expected to process massive volumes of data. For instance, for each
autonomous vehicle, they can generate as much as 4TB per day. Enabling
cognitive intelligence for datacenters will help enterprises identify gaps and
opportunities quickly and move ahead of the competition. The collaboration with
Keppel Data Centres will bring us one step closer to realizing fully-cognitive
datacenters.”
