"Biological storage?"
People here doubted whether their ears heard correctly, but the server behind Guo Yong was obviously completely different from the normal server style.
The front half is still a server with a common black shell, and the back half is a bit like a fish tank.
It's just that it's not fish, but a creature that no one has ever seen.
Since the Beiming-1 storage server is for enterprises, Huawei also planted green plants in the biological storage petri dish, which was much more beautified than the samples Guan Yang saw at the time.
Lao Ma sat next to Mr. Ren, glanced at Beiming No. 1 on the stage, and then looked at Mr. Ren again. He knew that Huawei's invitation to everyone was definitely not a joke.
The biological storage server on the platform is a big move made by Huawei. Although the specific performance is not yet known, it definitely has characteristics that are different from previous products.
He said calmly: "Mr. Ren, congratulations, Huawei has brought glory to our people again. The world's first biological storage server is awesome."
Mr. Ren was equally calm, "We need to cooperate more with you in the future. Aliyun has always been our long-term partner for ict hardware, and we will need your support for the follow-up Beiming-1."
"sure."
Ali Cloud and Huawei Cloud are direct competitors, but this does not affect Ali Cloud's purchase of Huawei's ICT equipment in large quantities, whether it is network communication equipment, x86 servers or storage servers.
"Damn, Hua Wei is awesome! Biological storage, I just don't know the specific performance and price."
"Huawei's technical strength is indeed strong, and it can develop biological storage technology even when it is blocked."
"As far as I know, the amount of data stored by biological organisms should be huge."
In the audience were not only the big guys, but also ordinary employees of long-term cooperative companies who came to the scene. Their concerns were different from those of the Internet big guys.
The bosses are all thinking about how Huawei's biological storage server will bring changes to the industry, and are preparing to go back and ask their subordinates to write a detailed research report.
The industry sensitivity of ordinary employees is not that strong.
The discussion in the audience filled the entire venue. Guo Yong enjoyed this moment very much. Everyone was shocked by Huawei's new products.
In the past, it was Yu Dazui who enjoyed himself on stage at times like this, but this time it was finally his turn.
When Huawei p20 and mate20 series came out, I was still amazed.
Guo Yong waited for the audience to become quiet and then continued:
"Beiming No. 1 storage server. The data capacity of the storage server behind me is 1000pb. Yes, you heard it right, it is 1000pb."
"Huawei's biological storage server has pushed the enterprise-level storage server data storage measurement unit from terabytes to petabytes from today."
"And the Beiming-1 biological storage server uses data redundancy technology similar to raid1."
"It is well known that DNA has a double-stranded structure, which is equivalent to natural raid1."
From raid1 to raid10, enterprises have adopted various means to ensure data security.
Raid1 means that when data is written to the hard disk, it is written to both disks A and B at the same time. After a problem occurs, disk B can be used as a backup to restore the data.
The advantage of this is that it is highly secure and does not affect performance, but the disadvantage is that it wastes the hard disk. Two 1t hard drives can only store 1t of data.
Later, manufacturers developed various RAID technologies, hoping to balance the relationship between performance, security and usable capacity.
Here Huawei claims that the data capacity is 1000pb, using raid1 data redundancy technology, which means that the real data capacity of Beiming-1 is 2000pb.
"And the latency is as low as 0.005ms, and spc-1 iops exceeds 50 million."
spc-1 iops is also an indicator of storage server performance. Huawei's previous most high-end all-flash product had an spc-1 iops indicator of 21 million.
"At the same time, the giant Beiming-1 has high stability, with a stability of seven to nine, which is the same as Huawei's previous storage products."
Seven nines means 99.99999%.
"Everyone here is welcome to consult our pre-sales manager for specific prices. The average price per terabyte is definitely beyond your imagination."
Enterprise-level customers generally do not directly announce the selling price, because different enterprises have different needs and sign different contract amounts, so the prices that Huawei can offer are naturally different.
For example, China Merchants Bank purchases equipment starting at several hundred million yuan every year, and Hua has to do this business even if it makes a loss.
And like some local policy banks, the investment in this is very small, and the discounts Huawei can give are very small.
TO B products and TO C products are completely different concepts.
"At the same time, there is actually a very critical point. Biological storage technology is not like a hard disk, which requires 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."
“In terms of the annual electricity bill savings alone, you can calculate this account.”
The electricity consumption of global data centers accounts for approximately 2% to 3% of the world's total annual electricity consumption, and electricity costs account for more than 50% of data center operating costs.
"Compared with traditional magnetic media storage, biological storage technology is not a progress, but a leap. It is a leap in the way humans store data."
"So we would like to thank our strategic partner - Deep Blue Storage."
"Deep Blue Storage is the developer of DNA storage media technology and has made outstanding contributions to Beiming-1."
"In the future, Huawei will join hands with Deep Blue Storage to provide customers with better products and services."
Beiming-1 brought a huge impact to everyone present, and Deep Blue Storage was remembered by everyone.
The most difficult thing about a biological storage server is the storage medium, and the most difficult thing is the technical integration.
Guo Yong then reiterated Huaweict’s corporate vision and the superiority of biological storage technology.
After the press conference, there was warm applause, and the back row even shouted: Flowers for nb.
Huawei’s pre-sales managers are constantly receiving new message notifications on WeChat, all asking about specific matters regarding the biological storage server.
And they are receiving remote online training on biological storage servers from Huawei headquarters.
Before today, Huawei’s pre-sales managers didn’t know what the new product was.
For example, some domestic research teams engaged in DNA storage may have died collectively.
A university in Jinling wrote its school motto into the DNA sequence and then published a science sub-journal, claiming it to be a new breakthrough in DNA storage technology.
Simply writing information, you must know that this is a technology that Amerikan is bad at, how much data is the school motto? Not even 1kb.
Not only Amerikan, you must know that as early as 2013, a research team in England wrote a total of 154 sonnets by Shakespeare into DNA molecules.
A research team like this that promotes outdated technology as if it is original is directly hit by Deep Blue Storage's dimensionality reduction.
Beiming-1 can directly write petabyte-level data, not only writing but also reading.
Huawei’s Beiming-1 not only caused all domestic research teams engaged in DNA storage to temporarily turn around, but American’s related companies were also directly divested by investors.
