Chapter 154 Technical Advantages

"Biological storage?"

Everyone present was wondering if they had heard it wrong, but the server behind Guo Yong was obviously completely different from a normal server.

The front half is still a server with a common black shell, and the back half is a bit like a fish tank.

But what is kept inside is not fish, but a kind of creature that no one has ever seen.

Since the Beiming No. 1 storage server is for enterprises, Hua Wei also planted green plants in the petri dishes for biological storage, which are much more beautiful than the samples that Guan Yang saw at the time.

Lao Ma sat next to Mr. Ren, glanced at Bei Ming No. 1 on the stage, and then looked at Mr. Ren again. He knew that Hua Wei was not joking in inviting everyone here.

The biological storage server on the stage is Hua Wei’s big move. Although its specific performance is still unknown, it will definitely have features different from previous products.

He remained calm on the surface: "Mr. Ren, congratulations, Hua Wei has once again brought honor to our country. It is the world's first biological storage server, which is amazing."

Mr. Ren was equally calm. “We will need to cooperate with you more in the future. Ali Cloud has always been our long-term partner in ICT hardware. Beiming No. 1 will still need your support in the future.”

"sure."

Ali Cloud and Huawei Cloud are direct competitors, but this does not affect Ali Cloud's purchase of large quantities of Huawei's ICT equipment, whether it is network communication equipment, X86 servers or storage servers.

"Fuck, Huawei is awesome! Biological storage, but I don't know the specific performance and price."

"Hua Wei's technical strength is indeed strong. He was able to develop biological storage technology even when he was blocked."

"From what I understand, the amount of data stored by organisms should be huge."

There were not only big bosses in the audience, but also ordinary employees from Youhuawei's long-term cooperative companies. Their focus was different from that of the Internet giants.

The bosses were all thinking about what kind of changes Huawei's biological storage server would bring to the industry, and were preparing to go back and ask their subordinates to write a detailed research report.

Ordinary employees are not that sensitive to the industry.

The discussion from the audience filled the entire venue. Guo Yong enjoyed this moment very much. Everyone was shocked by Huawei's new product.

In the past, it was always Yu Dazui who enjoyed the show on stage at times like this, but this time it was finally his turn.

When Huawei P20 and mate 20 series came out, I was still amazed.

Guo Yong waited until the audience quieted down before continuing:
"Beiming No. 1000 storage server, the data capacity of this storage server behind me is 1000PB. Yes, you heard it right, PB."

"Huawei's biological storage server has pushed the data storage measurement unit of enterprise-level storage servers from TB to PB from today."

"And the Beiming No. 1 biological storage server uses data redundancy technology similar to RAID ."

"It is well known that DNA is a double-stranded structure, which is equivalent to natural raid1."

From raid1 to raid10, enterprises have adopted various measures 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. If a problem occurs on disk A, 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 too much hard disk. Two 1T hard disks can only store 1T of data.

Later, manufacturers developed various RAID technologies in the hope of balancing the relationship between performance, security and available capacity.

Here Huawei claims that the data capacity is 1000PB, and adopts raid1 data redundancy technology, which means that the actual data capacity of Beiming No. 2000 is PB.

"The latency is as low as 0.005ms, and the SPC-1 IOPS exceeds million."

SPC-1 IOPS is also an indicator to measure the performance of storage servers. Huawei's previous most advanced all-flash product had an SPC-1 IOPS indicator of 2100 million. "At the same time, Beiming No. Giant has high stability, with a stability of %, the same as Huawei's previous storage products."

Seven nines means 99.99999%.

"For specific prices, please consult our pre-sales manager. The average price per TB is definitely beyond your imagination."

Enterprise-level customers generally do not directly announce the selling price, because different companies have different needs and sign different contract amounts, so the prices that Huawei can offer will naturally be different.

Like China Merchants Bank, they spend hundreds of millions of yuan on equipment purchases every year and are willing to do this business even if it means losing money.

However, in some local policies, the investment in this area is very small, and the resulting benefits 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 special precision air conditioning to control the temperature."

"One Beiming No. 2000 is equivalent to all-flash storage servers, and the power consumption of the two is similar."

"Just the electricity bills saved every year, you can do the math."

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 % of data center operating costs.

"Compared with traditional magnetic media storage, biological storage technology is not an improvement, but a leap forward. It is a leap forward in the way humans store data."

"So we would like to thank our strategic partner, DeepBlue Storage."

"DeepBlue Storage is the developer of DNA storage media technology and has made outstanding contributions to Beiming-1."

"In the future, Huawei will work with DeepBlue Storage to provide our customers with better products and services."

The huge impact that Beiming No. 1 brought to everyone present was remembered by everyone.

The most difficult part of biological storage servers is the storage medium, and the most important thing is the technical integration.

Guo Yong then reiterated Huawei ICT's corporate vision and the superiority of biostorage technology.

After the press conference, there was warm applause from the audience, and people in the back row even shouted: Hua Wei NB.

Huawei’s pre-sales managers have been receiving a constant stream of new WeChat message alerts, all asking about specific matters regarding the biological storage server.

They are currently receiving remote online training on biological storage servers from Huawei headquarters.

Before today, Huawei's pre-sales managers did not know what the new product was specifically.

Some domestic research teams working on DNA storage are probably doomed to fail.

A university in Jinling wrote its school motto into the DNA sequence and then published an article in a Science journal, claiming it was a new breakthrough in DNA storage technology.

Just writing information, you have to know that this is a technology that American has played out. How much data is there on the school motto? Less than 1KB.

Not only America, but also a research team in England wrote a total of 13 sonnets of Shakespeare into DNA molecules as early as 154.

Research teams like this, who promoted outdated technology as if it were their original creation, were directly hit by Deep Blue Storage's dimensionality reduction attack.

Beiming No. 1 can directly write PB-level data, and can not only write but also read.

Hua Wei's Beiming No. 1 not only caused all domestic research teams engaged in DNA storage to temporarily change direction, but also caused investors in American-based companies to directly withdraw their investment.
