On April 29, 2025, at the 4th Huawei Innovative Data Infrastructure (IDI) Forum in Munich, Germany, Huawei launched the AI Data Lake Solution, designed to accelerate AI adoption across industries. Peter Zhou, Vice President of Huawei and President of Huawei Data Storage Product Line, introduced the solution in his keynote speech: "Data Awakening, Accelerating Intelligence with AI-Ready Data Infrastructure."
While digital transformation has evolved over decades and brought sweeping change, one thing remains constant: the critical importance of data. This was highlighted in Zhou speech: "To be Al-ready, get data-ready. The continuous deepening of industry digitalization is a process of transforming data into information and knowledge."
By integrating data storage, data management, resource management, and the AI toolchain, the AI Data Lake Solution delivers a high-quality AI corpus and speeds up model training and inference, empowering enterprises to embrace AI.
In his address, Zhou provided details about the products and technologies that are part of the Data Lake solution:
Data management: data visibility, manageability, and mobility across regions
