Huawei IDI Forum: 3 Years at the Forefront of Data Infrastructure Evolution

In recent years, data has proven itself a transformative resource with the potential to drive economic growth and propel society forward. What has been achieved so far would not have been possible without a robust foundation of data infrastructure, and the coming data awakening will rely on advanced storage systems that make data freely mobile and highly available. In light of this, the Huawei Innovative Data Infrastructure (IDI) Forum was established to provide a platform for global thought leaders, business decision makers, technology pioneers, and ecosystem partners to come together and discuss the future of data infrastructure. The IDI Forum also serves to advance the storage industry, in order to fully unleash the power of data to drive innovation and progress in so many domains.

As we gear up for the upcoming IDI Forum in Berlin on May 7, let's take a moment to reflect on the remarkable journey of the past two IDI Forums and provide an exciting overview of the upcoming event.

The inaugural IDI Forum was held in Munich in 2022, and since then, this annual gathering has transcended the boundaries adhered to by conventional industry events. It has already evolved into a dynamic platform where some of the best minds from across a diverse range of sectors converge to discuss the future of data infrastructure. The first IDI Forum, themed "Green • Acceleration • Innovation", provided a stage for discussions on the acceleration of digital transformation, green and sustainable data centers, and the frontiers of data infrastructure innovation. This was a momentous occasion that laid the groundwork for many other compelling conversations.

Building on the success of 2022, Huawei IDI Forum 2023, also held in Munich and organized around another three-pronged theme: "New Data ∙ New Apps ∙ New Resilience", focused on the establishment of a reliable data-centric storage foundation upon which the broad variety of applications could thrive in the intelligent world. At the forum, discussions centered on addressing the challenges posed by the sheer volume of unstructured data in the Yottabyte Era, staying ahead of the demand created by data-intensive apps, and strengthening the last line of defense against ransomware attacks, through solutions such as Multilayer Ransomware Protection solution. The forum also highlighted the importance of resilient and adaptable data infrastructure in the face of evolving challenges.

The past year has witnessed an upsurge in the innovation and development of AI technologies, leading to the rapid proliferation of new data applications. This awakening of data is allowing us to grasp its true power. At this year's IDI Forum, we anticipate the convergence of various industries and ecosystems as they look to adopt data infrastructure capable of accelerating industrial intelligence and thereby transforming industries and reshaping the contours of daily life. The 2024 forum, set to take place in Berlin on May 7, will delve into topics ranging from the data awakening to cutting-edge, AI-ready data infrastructure, covering the latest industry trends related to AI, data resilience, intelligent management, and energy efficiency.

The 2024 forum will be a hybrid physical and virtual event, and a truly immersive experience for participants in Berlin and beyond. The key highlights of this year's forum are as follows:

• Leading insights: The forum will feature 5 sessions aimed at different sectors, including education, healthcare, and MSP. This year's event will give you access to the latest insights from thought leaders in the AI-ready data infrastructure field.
• Live demonstrations: You will be able to immerse yourself in our 600 m2 showcase exhibition hall, where you can find live demonstrations of our latest innovations, including next-gen all-flash storage, AI storage, and data protection solutions, as well as labs where you can get hands-on with the technology.
• Engaging workshops: You will have the opportunity to exchange ideas with some of the world's leading IT minds, with more than 60 experts slated to attend, and gain valuable insights into the evolving landscape of data infrastructure.

The Huawei Innovative Data Infrastructure Forum is more than just an event. It is a convergence of innovation, collaboration, and transformation.
