The Chinese firm unveils its OceanStore DJ Solution at the Huawei Cloud Congress 2015
SHANGHAI – Chinese ICT company Huawei has unveiled its OceanStore DJ solution, a data service platform that can provide data storage and management services on demand through unified management over storage resources. The new platform was announced by the Chinese company during the Huawei Cloud Congress 2015, which took place last week in Shanghai, China.
According to Huawei, OceanStor DJ defines services by customer-oriented dictions and provides configuration and matching of optimal storage resources, which significantly reduces the time needed for deploying an IT application.
Huawei’s executives said that the new solution allows administrators to flexibly select needed data management services from enterprise application markets, deploy them in resource pools of their cloud data centers, and quickly establish application systems customized to particular service needs without extra operations such as storage configuration, mounting and tuning.
Huawei is currently working with over 30 storage application vendors, aiming to provide professional and easy-to-use data services such as data protection, databases, Big Data and data security through its OceanStor DJ.
“OceanStor DJ can schedule storage resources based on service characteristics, automatically deploy data management applications and optimize resources in line with service dynamics,” Fan Ruiqi, president of the Huawei storage product line, said. “OceanStor DJ provides storage-as-a-service for enterprise IT systems, freeing up engineers from heavy workloads in managing data storage and making them more focus on service transformation and innovation,” the executive added.
During the event, Huawei also launched the FusionSphere 6.0, an enterprise-class cloud operating system, which helps customers deploy virtual servers, private clouds, public clouds, hybrid clouds and desktop clouds.
“FusionSphere is designed to help enterprises overcome challenges encountered during different IT transformation stages, making enterprise business and workflows agile and efficient to deal with changes in the markets, lowering investments on IT assets and human resources,” Joy Huang, VP of the Huawei IT product line, said.
Huawei’s FusionSphere has been deployed in over 80 countries and regions, serving more than 1,000 customers from various fields, including telecommunications, finance, governments and public sectors, energy, transportation, health care, education, media, and manufacturing.
