The news of Huawei launching a biological storage server sparked heated discussions on social media and topped the Weibo hot search list that evening.
Originally, due to some unspeakable reasons, Huawei's To C business has been sluggish in recent years, and its voice on social media has become much smaller.
Before the sanctions, Huawei held a press conference every year, and its new phones were always a hot topic.
Starting with the Mate 20 series, the exaggerated arrangement of cameras on the back has always been a hot topic among netizens.
"Huawei launches biological storage server"
What is biological storage?
"Flower as a brand new cutting-edge technology"
What does a biological storage server mean?
Four of the top ten trending topics on Weibo are related to the new products that Huawei released at its All-Connect Conference this morning.
Seeing tech media outlets releasing videos showcasing how amazing Huawei's biological storage server is, Huawei fans exclaimed: "Our youth has returned!"
Although the sanctions lasted only three years, Huawei has been largely absent from the digital world for quite some time.
If we compare them using popular celebrities, Apple has always been at the top, while Samsung has been involved in scandals and has faded into obscurity.
Da Mi was one of the earliest top influencers in China, but her status became precarious later due to the poor quality of her work. Hua Wei, on the other hand, started from P20 and became a top influencer by letting her work speak for itself, but later disappeared after being banned.
Although Huawei's products are not aimed at individual consumers, Huawei fans still feel genuinely proud.
The events that occurred at the beginning of 2022 made the general public realize that it is a terrible thing if any field cannot be independent and self-reliant.
In a sense, Huawei is a flagship of China's technology companies, with an annual R&D investment of over 100 billion yuan.
"A 1000PB biological storage server is truly amazing! Huawei is indeed Huawei!"
"I just want to know if, after having a biological storage server, Baidu Cloud can provide more storage space and stop limiting the speed."
"Huawei is truly impressive; there are few companies in China with such solid capabilities."
"Flowers are the pride of China!"
"Won't this lead to data loss? DNA has a double-stranded structure; could a single base error cause errors in all the data along the entire strand?"
"Originally, I thought 'boiling over' was sarcastic, but this time I'm genuinely boiling over. It turns out that China is the first country to achieve large-scale deployment of biological storage technology."
"Huawei is amazing! Their bio-storage technology is incredible! When will this technology be available to individuals? My hard drive is about to run out of space!"
"If the hard drive capacity upstairs is not enough, you can buy a NAS storage server at home to use temporarily. A few thousand yuan will be enough."
"This is truly a global first. Xiaomi fans can't find an excuse to say it's supply chain technology, so they're just saying that Huawei was the first to release it."
Huawei fans and Xiaomi fans are old rivals, constantly battling it out in the comment sections of tech bloggers.
"This cutting-edge technology has once again made me realize Huawei's technological prowess!"
Major media outlets have explained the significance of Huawei biological storage servers from the perspectives of technical difficulty, application level, and strategic significance. If we can capitalize on this wave of traffic, we won't have to worry about our KPIs this month.
How would you evaluate Huawei's biological storage server?
"We can only say that Huawei is amazing. It's a technology that would probably take at least twenty years to be implemented, but Huawei suddenly produced it. I've seen that the latest papers in related fields can only achieve data writing at the MB level, but Huawei has suddenly increased this data volume to the PB level."
While others are still riding horses, Hua Wei has already boarded a space shuttle.
From what I understand, all graduate students in this field are changing their research topics at the last minute. One unlucky friend of mine is doing this kind of research; luckily, he's only a first-year graduate student, so the changes aren't too difficult. Those who are about to defend their doctoral dissertations are the ones in a much worse situation.
From a technical standpoint, the product launch and media promotion did not reveal any key information, and we cannot discern anything from the product's appearance either.
We can only say that the technology is amazing, but the underlying logic of the technology is still unknown.
However, the Beiming-1's appearance is indeed very cool, with a futuristic feel to it.
However, considering the future impact of biological storage servers on the computer industry, I believe it will have a huge influence.
Some very direct impacts include a decrease in cloud storage prices from domestic public cloud providers such as Ali Cloud and Tencent Cloud.
At least 50% off.
For content-driven internet companies like Douyin, Bilibili, and Weibo, operating costs will decrease significantly. In previous years, a large portion of their costs was spent on storage.
Since Sina delisted and ByteDance is not listed, taking Bilibili's financial report as an example, in 2022, it spent approximately 1.2 billion yuan in cash on the purchase of property, plant and equipment. At least half of that cash was spent on storage equipment.
High business growth has led to an ever-increasing volume of data, which in turn requires more storage and server equipment. The annual expenditure on equipment purchases is increasing at a rate of over 50%.
Revenue could not cover expenses at all. With the biological storage server, Bilibili saved at least hundreds of millions of yuan in expenses.
Some comments mentioned that Huawei's biological storage server is priced too high. I can say with certainty that, in order to promote its products, Huawei will definitely price its unit capacity cheaper than traditional storage. If Huawei is ruthless enough, it could even be twice as cheap.
The operating costs of content apps will decrease, and the field of artificial intelligence will develop more rapidly. I wonder if you have noticed that the latency of biological storage servers has been greatly reduced.
Massive data access will be faster, improving the efficiency of research in the field of artificial intelligence. Furthermore, in a sense, hardware and software complement each other; could biological storage contribute to the development of artificial intelligence?
