Huawei, a global leader in information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure, has unveiled its latest AI-ready data storage solutions designed to accelerate the transformation of telecom companies into technology-driven enterprises. The announcement was made during Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025 in Barcelona, where Dr. Peter Zhou, President of Huawei’s Data Storage Product Division, introduced the comprehensive data storage solutions aimed at enhancing telecom operators’ AI capabilities, optimizing their data management infrastructure, and accelerating their AI-driven business transformation.

With telecom operators increasingly exploring data monetization opportunities through smart home services, digital factories, and high-performance mobile financial applications, Huawei’s new AI-ready data storage solutions are set to unlock the business potential of vast data assets while driving cost-effective AI adoption in the telecom industry.

Driving AI Transformation with Unified Data Lake Strategy

At the core of Huawei’s AI-ready solutions is the Unified Data Lake Strategy, designed to eliminate data silos and make enterprise data easily accessible, manageable, and visible. The data lake solution enables telecom operators to convert unstructured data into high-quality assets, maximizing their potential for revenue generation and business growth.

"The world is witnessing a golden age of data driven by AI across industries," said Dr. Zhou. "Telecom operators are increasingly recognizing the value of data monetization and the demand for scalable data storage solutions. Our AI-ready data lake strategy removes data barriers and provides the infrastructure for transforming unstructured data into high-quality, business-driven assets."
