Huawei Unleashes the Power of Data and Proposes Ways of Evolving Storage in the Yottabyte Era at Huawei IT Day 2023

Held during the Middle East & Central Asia Tech Carnival, Huawei IT Day sheds light on the latest technological innovations and trends in data storage and protection

[Almaty, Kazakhstan, June 12, 2023]During the Huawei Middle East & Central Asia Tech Carnival 2023, Huawei successfully held the Huawei IT Day under the theme 'Unleash Data Power, Towards the Yottabyte Era' (a yottabyte is equal to a quadrillion gigabyte). Reinforcing its leadership in storage technology, Huawei shared its latest multi-cloud-oriented storage strategy at the Huawei IT Day.

President David Shi, Huawei Enterprise Middle East and Central Asia, observed that more and more customers and partners are choosing Huawei storage.

Huawei is committed to building a solution that caters to all of them, including managing diverse data, rapidly upcoming applications and defending all the data against ransomware attacks."

Countries across the Middle East and Central Asia are prioritizing the digital transformation of their public and private sector organizations, preparing for the future intelligent world. This digital transformation will be pivotal for the region's economic development and social progress. However, data resilience remains a constant threat for enterprises globally, with ransomware attacks proving particularly destructive.

Andrew Beklemishev, Vice President of IDC CIS, shared valuable insights on ransomware resilience strategies and data protection best practices to achieve reasonable immunity from cyber threats.

AnIDC/Huawei whitepaperreleased earlier this year showed two-thirds of global organizations were hit by ransomware attacks in 2022. Further, on average, businesses were disrupted for five days due to ransomware attacks last year. Therefore, traditional approach to security can
