What are Huawei’s Data Infrastructure Healthcare Solutions?
At the 2026 Global Education & Healthcare Partners China Convention, Huawei presented four future-oriented data infrastructure solutions designed specifically for the healthcare industry.
These newly announced offerings aim to drive the intelligent transformation of medical institutions.
During the event, the Vice President of the Huawei Data Storage Product Line, Jeff Wu, delivered a keynote address titled Data Awakening, Infra Evolving.
Jeff highlighted how the medical sector is currently experiencing incredibly rapid intelligent transformation.
He emphasised that data infrastructure plays a critical role in this shift, noting that Huawei Data Storage has already assisted more than 3,900 healthcare organisations in their intelligent transformation through its comprehensive products and solutions.
The evolution of medical data infrastructure
Artificial intelligence in healthcare is seeing rapid development, particularly regarding multimodal large model capabilities.
According to Huawei, this progress is driving data infrastructure to develop in three primary directions.
Firstly, converged infrastructure is becoming essential for core medical systems such as HIS and PACS.
Secondly, this technology is taking on a crucial role in supporting AI-assisted diagnosis and treatment.
Finally, healthcare facilities of all sizes are increasingly focused on strengthening their data resilience to combat growing data security risks.
To address these core demands, Huawei introduced the Core Medical Systems Convergence Solution.
This offering breaks down traditional siloed architectures by integrating OceanStor Dorado all-flash storage, DCS virtualisation software and the DME management platform into one unified infrastructure.
A single storage system supports SAN, NAS and object protocols.
This easily meets the needs of core healthcare systems while greatly simplifying hardware deployment and reducing operational maintenance costs.
Furthermore, a gateway-free active-active deployment across different protocols ensures high service continuity.
By delivering up to 100 million IOPS alongside a latency of just 0.03 milliseconds, the technology efficiently eliminates system freezes during peak hours.
Establishing a strong AI data foundation
The newly announced AI Data Lake Solution provides a robust data foundation for training large healthcare models.
It utilises OceanStor Pacific all-flash scale-out storage to deliver industry-leading capacity density, resulting in an optimal total cost of ownership for massive data storage.
Additionally, the DME Omni-Dataverse creates a unified data space for the real-time ingestion of multimodal data across campuses.
It also enables data retrieval from exabyte-scale datasets in seconds.
IHH Healthcare, a world-class private healthcare group, deployed this system and successfully reduced its pathology analysis latency from 500 milliseconds to 40 milliseconds.
This reduction has vastly enhanced its diagnosis and treatment efficiency.
Jeff Wu, Vice President of Data Storage Product Line at Huawei, says: “The AI era is the golden age for data, where data storage fuels the entire journey of intelligent healthcare.
“To fully empower this intelligent journey, we must focus on three critical directions: converging core medical systems is a must for mature hospital digitalisation; AI data infrastructure is key to accelerating AI-assisted diagnosis adoption and data resilience is an urgent priority for all hospitals.”
Huawei also detailed its AI Data Platform, which enables highly efficient AI-assisted diagnosis and treatment.
This 3+1 platform seamlessly integrates a knowledge base, KV cache store and memory bank.
At its core, a Unified Cache Manager provides hierarchical data management and smart scheduling.
These features meet the stringent requirements of accurate long-sequence inference in modern medical environments.
The overall effectiveness of this platform was demonstrated by a leading hospital in China.
After deploying the platform for its specialised medical knowledge bases, the hospital increased its knowledge retrieval accuracy to more than 95%.
Strengthening resilience against security threats
Recognising the critical nature of patient records, Huawei unveiled a Data Protection Solution to strengthen healthcare data resilience.
The next-generation OceanProtect lineup features the newly launched OceanProtect X8100 and OceanProtect 9100 backup storage systems.
These units provide a data compression ratio of 90:1 and can achieve recovery speeds of up to 198 terabytes per hour.
To combat malicious threats, these systems are equipped with AI-powered detection cards that deliver a 99.99 per cent accuracy rate for ransomware detection.
Moving forward, Huawei Data Storage plans to continue collaborating with the healthcare industry and its partners.
By continuously advancing artificial intelligence data infrastructure products and solutions, the company aims to support the ongoing intelligent transformation of healthcare institutions of all sizes.
This will stimulate the high-quality development of smart healthcare across the globe.
