Huawei unveils new generation FusionServer V5 at Cloud Expo Asia 2017

SINGAPORE, 12 October
2017 –
Huawei today introduced its latest innovation, the Huawei FusionServer V5, to
business decision-makers and IT professionals at Cloud Expo Asia 2017. The
new generation Huawei FusionServer V5, which is recognized as the smartest of
the FusionServer family, promises to deliver new levels of performance for
computing, storage, network, management, and energy efficiency.

With digital
transformation disrupting processes and operations across industries and a tremendous
increase in smart terminal connections, Huawei predicts that by 2025, there
will be 100 billion connections, 6.5 billion Internet users, and 176 zettabytes
of data globally. To drive continuous improvements in computing performance,
Huawei announced the Boundless Computing strategy in July 2017 – a new
interpretation of the computing industry development, complementing a further
endorsement of Huawei to its motto of making computing simple. The new
generation FusionServer V5 is the latest result in the first phase of the
Boundless Strategy endeavor.

“We are at a turning
point amidst the computing development. The rapid rise of AI is driving the
computing architecture to continuously evolve. As the smart cloud era unfolds
at a larger scale, data center architecture is also evolving. The Internet of
Things (IoT) and big video analytics are driving computing to move from data
centers to data sources. To meet the demand of our partners and customers,
Huawei is introducing the FusionServer V5, coupled with our end-to-end
solution, to support our partners from various industries in their digital
transformation,” said Wang Feng, Vice President and Chief Technology
Officer of Huawei Southern Pacific Region Telco IT Department.

He added, “Industries,
enterprises and business owners need to think outside the traditional box today
in order to remain competitive in the digital era. This means they have to look
beyond the server business, plunge into the depths of data centers, and all the
way through to the source of data, thereby shattering the walls that would have
previously impeded the evolution and improvement in computing performance.”

Today, organizations
are transforming, internally and externally, to derive greater productivity and
deliver better services to their customers. To support this multi-fold and
rapid transformation, Huawei has continuously sought to collaborate with
industry players that will build synergies and drive the growth of the cloud
ecosystem, enable more businesses of all sizes and industries to seize the
opportunities of cloud technologies, and to accelerate the digital economy
transformation in Asia Pacific.

Recognised as the
smartest of the FusionServer family, the new-generation Huawei FusionServer V5
comes to enterprise users and customers refreshed with five smart features in
computing, storage, network, management, and energy efficiency. It supports
Smart Computing, which applies heterogeneous computing to different types of
applications, thereby improving computing efficiency. For Smart Storage, it
supports mixed configurations of SAS, SATA, and NVMe SSDs, allowing for
flexible combinations that suit a variety of scenarios with a focus on
performance and capacity demands. The Huawei FusionServer V5 offers flexible
networking options through flexible LOM, which is called Smart Networking. This
feature allows customers to enhance the server with Huawei’s innovative
programmable converged NIC to accelerate I/O, while offering 25GE and 32G FC
compatibility. The Huawei FusionServer V5 lineup includes general-purpose rack
servers, X series high-density servers, E series blade servers, and G series
heterogeneous computing platforms.

The V5 servers also
come with Smart Management. They leverage a built-in, Huawei patented Fault
Diagnosis & Management (FDM) mechanism for in-depth diagnostics. This
enables an unrivaled fault diagnosis success rate of up to 93% even for serious
faults that may cause a system crash, such as CATERR or IERR faults. Another
feature that sets FusionServer V5 apart is Smart Energy Conservation, a
capability built on Huawei’s patented Dynamic Energy Management Technology
(DEMT). DEMT reduces energy consumption of the entire system by up to 16% with
constant CPU loads, helping customers slash power costs. Read more at http://e.huawei.com/topic/fusion-server-2017-en/index.html.
