Kunpeng gathers data, shines in the Central Plains, and promotes the digital economy

On September 25, the 2019 Digital Economy Summit and Henan Intelligent Industry Ecosystem Construction International Exchange Conference was grandly held in Zhengzhou. In the field of intelligent data and storage, Huawei is committed to building a "core" integrated data infrastructure to enable the digital economy. It will bring a full range of new products and solutions to help build the Kunpeng computing industry ecosystem and embrace the era of diverse computing.

Pang Xin, Vice President of Huawei's Intelligent Data and Storage field, delivered a keynote speech, pointing out that in the digital economy era, more hardware products and basic software are needed to support the Kunpeng computing industry ecosystem and promote the large-scale commercialization of the industry. Based on Ascend and Kunpeng processors, Huawei has built a "core" integrated data infrastructure for enterprises. By integrating data storage and data processing, it makes full use of operator push-down, chip direct access and other technologies to meet the company's real-time business analysis and decision-making and massive data processing needs. Through the data interoperability between the GaussDB database and FusionInsight big data and artificial intelligence, large-scale cluster data can be zero-relocated. At the meeting, Huawei also launched three innovative solutions: intelligent production transactions, intelligent data lakes, and intelligent edges. At the same time, it released a series of industrial ecological development plans such as the "Kunpeng Intelligent Data Industry Alliance" and the University Golden Seed Development Plan, and is committed to becoming the pioneer of large-scale commercial use of the Kunpeng computing industry.

[Build a "core" integrated data infrastructure to enable the development of the digital economy]

Based on the differentiated advantages brought by Huawei's full-stack IT capabilities, the "core" integrated data infrastructure breaks the horizontal hierarchical structure of traditional IT. Based on the "Kunpeng" chip foundation, it realizes the vertical integration of data storage, database and big data, and deeply integrates data processing with the underlying computing and storage chips to create three scenario-based solutions for the industry, realizing real-time data processing, massive data value mining and edge data processing.

1. Intelligent production transactions, real-time processing of core business data of enterprises:

The core production and transaction scenarios of enterprises have very stringent requirements on the rapid processing, security and reliability of data, such as the Core Banking business of banks and the telephone billing business of operators. By integrating the GaussDB database with OceanStor storage and deploying it on dedicated hardware devices, an integrated data and storage solution is created to enable high-performance production and flow of data.

(1) Microsecond-level global data interaction and high performance: Microsecond-level interactive data processing is achieved through innovative technologies such as database operator pushdown, data processing, and storage global data cache;

(2) Intelligent fault-free perception, high reliability: Through the hardware fault perception capabilities of Ascend and Kunpeng, such as smart network cards, the fault switching time of multiple active nodes in the entire system is controlled within 1 second, providing high reliability with zero fault perception.

2. Intelligent data lake solution FusionData eliminates data silos and releases data value

FusionData eliminates the data silos of various IT silo systems within the enterprise, solves the problems of difficult data access, integration analysis, and data consumption, and helps customers efficiently transform enterprise data resources into data assets:

(1) Large-scale cluster data “zero” migration: database + big data interoperability, realizing data storage and analysis

(2) T+0 business real-time decision-making: Data storage and data processing are integrated, operators are pushed down, and protocols are interconnected to achieve heterogeneous computing of massive multi-mode data, improve analysis performance, and transform T+1 data analysis into T+0 real-time decision-making.

(3) 70% improvement in data governance efficiency: ROMA intelligent data source access, DAYU one-stop intelligent data management capabilities, and automated data governance

3. FusionCube, an intelligent edge data solution, enables edge-cloud collaborative data processing

New applications such as 4K/8K and 5G have led to explosive growth in data. Faced with the new demand for high-speed generation of massive data anytime and anywhere, data infrastructure should be closer to the physical location of data production. FusionCube's intelligent edge solution makes the edge full of intelligence, enables seamless data flow, discovers new data value, and promotes the development of digital industrialization:

(1) Edge data processing: computing and storage are performed in collaborative data centers at the edge of the network

(2) On-cloud and off-cloud collaboration: Combined with on-cloud training, edge reasoning can be implemented based on the industry-based AI algorithm, on-cloud AI training, unified intelligent management and control, and cloud-edge collaboration.

(3) Minimalism + Intelligence: One-stop edge delivery, ready for use, intelligent operation and maintenance of tens of thousands of nodes, and unattended operation.
