The event will take place on May 22, 2025 (Thursday) in Concordia Design in Poznań at ul. Zwierzyniecka 3. The aim of the meeting will be to provide participants with knowledge about network technologies and mass storage technologies from Huawei.
Huawei owns over 240,000 patents, of which 65% are active. By comparison, Apple owns over 116,000 patents worldwide. Huawei spent almost 21% of its revenue on R&D in 2024, involving over 50% Huawei employees.
Why should you check out Huawei's networking equipment offering?
Huawei offers a wide portfolio of network devices compliant with the latest standards, from routers and firewalls (SD-WAN) through switches to wireless networks (Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7). Network management solutions (Smart Network Management), i.e. platforms such as iMaster NCE or NetMaster enable automatic management, optimization and predictive network analysis. The use of artificial intelligence allows for automatic detection and repair of network problems (even without the participation of the administrator).
Security, scalability means easy adaptation of devices to build networks from small office installations to large corporate networks and data centers. Low ownership costs mean often a better price-to-performance ratio compared to traditional suppliers (Cisco, HPE, Juniper).
How do Huawei storage devices stand out from competing solutions?
Six-nine reliability (99.9999% availability), predictive load modeling to optimize performance, automatic tiering, scale-up and scale-out, i.e. the ability to expand both capacity and performance without downtime, and top performance results (Dorado arrays regularly rank high in SPC-1 tests) are the hallmarks of Huawei products. Add to this the ransomware protection features, on-the-fly deduplication and native data encryption and you get a reliable and secure platform for enterprise data processing. Low cost of ownership is an additional advantage in choosing OceanStore Dorado and OceanStore Protect products.
