Why AI commonization is so important for business intelligent transformation and what Huawei’s data storage has to offer

Dr. Peter Zhou, President of Huawei Data Storage Product Line, mentioned the word ‘commonization’ five times during a media roundtable at MWC 2025 in Barcelona to highlight the fact that, for AI to truly benefit everyone, it needs to be universal. ‘The successful story of DeepSeek tells us, AI commonization (universalization) is more important. If AI only belongs to the top in some particular country, then why do we do AI? AI has to be commonized (universalized). This is what DeepSeek has been doing to simplify modeling.’

Huawei is championing the idea of commonization because it believes that this is the best way to make AI sustainable, both in terms of efficiency in training and in reach, for the benefit of different markets globally.

For mission-critical production workloads, Huawei launches the New-Gen OceanStor Dorado Converged All-Flash Storage and OceanStor A Series High-Performance AI Storage. These solutions boast 100 million–level IOPS, financial-grade reliability, and efficient AI training and inference, supporting tens of billions of daily charging services and robust mobile financial services. Further, the enhanced object storage enables seamless integration of carrier services with cloud-native and AI applications.
