DUBAI, UAE — May 18, 2025:
Huawei unveiled its latest AI-driven data center solution at the Global Data Center Facility Summit 2025, hosted in Dubai on May 13. The event, themed "Accelerating the Digital Age," gathered more than 500 global leaders in intelligent computing, technology experts, and industry partners to explore new opportunities in data center innovation. Huawei’s presentation marked a defining moment, positioning the company at the forefront of AI data infrastructure development.
Charles Yang, Huawei’s Senior Vice President and President of Marketing, Sales, and Services at Huawei Digital Power, emphasized in his keynote that the AI era has ushered in the golden age of computing infrastructure. He highlighted forecasts showing global AI data center capacity exceeding 100 gigawatts by 2028, creating over $600 billion in potential investment in energy infrastructure alone. He outlined the key challenges confronting AI data centers today, which include meeting higher power demands, ensuring rapid deployment, and delivering uncompromising reliability.
At the summit, Huawei presented a comprehensive strategy to address these issues through enhanced system architecture, modular deployment, and intelligent energy solutions. According to Yang, future-ready data centers must be reliable in every aspect of design and operation. Huawei’s isolated power system architecture is engineered to maximize uptime and minimize service disruptions. Fast deployment is achieved through modular designs such as the Outdoor PowerPOD, which allows each container to operate independently with its own power system, significantly reducing time-to-market. The company also emphasized the critical need for sustainability, promoting green energy solutions via campus photovoltaic grids and AI-based efficiency optimization. Huawei’s UPS5000-H system exemplifies this approach, delivering up to 99.1% energy efficiency in S-ECO mode.
Bob He, Vice President of Huawei Digital Power and President of Huawei Data Center Facility & Critical Power, reinforced this direction in his address titled "Building a Solid Foundation for the Era of Intelligent Data Computing." He introduced Huawei’s RAS principle—Reliability, Agility, and Sustainability—as the cornerstone of their AI data center philosophy. Reliability, he stated, must span the entire data center lifecycle, encompassing architecture, products, intelligent management, and professional services. Agility is essential to adapt to the ever-evolving demands of AI services, and Huawei’s modular, deeply integrated systems ensure flexible deployment options. Sustainability remains central, with a focus on system-level efficiency rather than just component-level performance.
Furthering its commitment to innovation and industry safety, Huawei joined forces with the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), Alibaba Cloud, China Mobile Group Design Institute, China Telecom, and China Unicom to release a White Paper on the Safety of Lithium-ion Battery Applications in Data Centers. This document outlines seven core safety dimensions and represents a major step toward standardizing high-performance, reliable, and safe data center infrastructure globally.
As the digital age accelerates, Huawei is reinforcing its role as a global technology leader by offering solutions that deliver rapid deployment, superior efficiency, and resilient operation. The AI data center solution launched in Dubai underscores Huawei Digital Power’s mission to drive forward intelligent computing and sustainable digital transformation worldwide.
