"Bio-storage?"
Those present doubted whether they had heard correctly, but the server behind Guo Yong was clearly different from a normal server.
The front half is a typical black-cased server, while the back half resembles a fish tank.
However, instead of fish, it contained a creature that no one had ever seen before.
Since the Beiming-1 storage server is geared towards enterprises, Huawei even planted green plants in the biological storage petri dish, making it much more aesthetically pleasing than the sample Guan Yang had seen.
Old Ma sat next to President Ren, glanced at Beiming No. 1 on the stage, and then at President Ren again. He knew that Hua Wei was not joking when he invited everyone here.
The biological storage server on the stage is a major innovation from Huawei. Although its specific performance is still unknown, it certainly has features that are different from previous products.
He remained outwardly calm: "President Ren, congratulations! Huawei has once again brought glory to our country. The world's first biological storage server, that's amazing."
Mr. Ren remained calm, saying, "We will need to cooperate with you more in the future. Ali Cloud has always been our long-term ICT hardware partner, and we will need your support for Beiming-1 in the future."
"Definitely, definitely."
Ali Cloud and Huawei Cloud are direct competitors, but this does not prevent Ali Cloud from purchasing large quantities of Huawei's ICT equipment, whether it is network communication equipment, x86 servers or storage servers.
"Holy crap, this is amazing! Biological storage, but I wonder about its specific performance and price."
"Huawei's technical capabilities are indeed strong; they were able to develop biological storage technology even under sanctions."
"From what I understand, the amount of data stored in biological storage must be enormous."
The audience included not only industry leaders but also ordinary employees from companies that have long-term partnerships with Huahua. Their focus was different from that of the internet tycoons.
The industry leaders are all pondering what kind of changes Huawei's biological storage server will bring to the industry, and are preparing to have their subordinates write a detailed research report.
Ordinary employees don't have that much industry sensitivity.
The discussion from the audience filled the entire venue. Guo Yong was enjoying the moment, as everyone was amazed by Huawei's new product.
In the past, Yu Dazui would always be the one enjoying himself on stage during times like this, but this time it's finally his turn.
When the P20 and Mate 20 series came out, I was still amazed.
After the audience quieted down, Guo Yong continued:
"The Beiming No. 1 storage server, the storage server behind me has a data capacity of 1000PB, yes, you heard right, 1000PB."
"From today onwards, Huawei's biological storage server will advance the unit of measurement for data storage in enterprise-level storage servers from TB to PB."
"Furthermore, the Beiming-1 biological storage server uses a data redundancy technology similar to RAID 1."
"As we all know, DNA has a double-stranded structure, which is equivalent to the natural Raid1."
From RAID 1 to RAID 10, enterprises have adopted various measures to ensure data security.
RAID 1 means that when data is written to the hard drive, it is written to both disks A and B simultaneously. If disk A fails, disk B can be used as a backup to recover the data.
The advantage of this approach is high security and no impact on performance, but the disadvantage is that it wastes too much hard drive space. Two 1TB hard drives can only store 1TB of data.
Later, manufacturers developed various RAID technologies in an attempt to balance performance, security, and usable capacity.
The claim here is that the data capacity is 1000PB, and that RAID 1 data redundancy technology is used, which means that the actual data capacity of Beiming-1 is 2000PB.
"And the latency is as low as 0.005ms, and the SPC-1 IOPS exceeds 50 million."
SPC-1 IOPS is also a metric for measuring the performance of storage servers. As the most advanced all-flash product before, the SPC-1 IOPS metric was 21 million.
"At the same time, the Beiming No. 1 giant has high stability, with a stability of seven nines, just like Huawei's previous storage products."
Seven nines means 99.%.
"For specific pricing, please consult our pre-sales manager. The average price per TB will definitely exceed your expectations."
Enterprise clients typically don't announce prices directly because different companies have different needs and sign different contract amounts, so the price we can offer will naturally vary.
For example, China Merchants Bank buys equipment worth hundreds of millions of yuan every year, even if it means losing money.
However, some local policies are very limited in their investment in this area, so the preferential treatment they can offer is also very small.
B2B products and B2C products are completely different concepts.
"At the same time, there is another very crucial point: unlike hard drives, biological storage technology does not require specialized precision air conditioning to control the temperature."
"One Beiming-1 is equivalent to 2,000 all-flash storage servers, and the power consumption of the two is about the same."
"Just look at the electricity savings each year, you can do the math."
Global data centers consume approximately 2% to 3% of the world's total annual electricity consumption, and electricity costs account for more than 50% of the operating costs of data centers.
"Compared to traditional magnetic storage technology, biological storage technology is not just an improvement, but a leap forward. It represents a leap forward in how humans store data."
"Therefore, we would like to thank our strategic partner, DeepBlue Storage."
"DeepBlue Storage is the developer of DNA storage media technology and has made outstanding contributions to Beiming-1."
