At Huawei Connect 2021, Huawei launched the OceanProtect Data Protection 
Solution, covering both Disaster Recovery (DR) and backup fields to offer 
comprehensive protection for diversified types of data throughout the 
lifecycle. It belongs to the Huawei All-Flash Data Center Solution to build the 
fast, green, reliable, and intelligent infrastructure for various industries. 
The solution is built on the concept of "full DR of hot data, and quick backup 
and restore of warm data", which ensures zero service interruption, zero data 
loss, and long-term data retention. 

During Huawei Connect 2021, Huawei kicked-off one session with the theme of 
All-Flash Data Center Builds a Green, Reliable, Intelligent Data "Highway" with 
a speech from one of the speakers, Mr. Michael Fan, the Director of Data 
Storage Solution Sales Dept. of Huawei Enterprise BG. Michael introduced the 
wide-range of protection levels that are covered by the OceanProtect solution, 
saying that "In terms of disaster recovery scenarios, it provides various 
features, such as gateway-free active-active or 3DC solutions, one-click DR 
drills, and failover (within seconds). While for backup scenarios, the 
OceanProtect X series provides fast backup and recovery and efficient space 
reduction." 

The solution is firstly designed to offer full DR of hot data. This means it 
integrates DR for SAN and NAS, and provides worry-free device upgrade to 
maximize return on investment (ROI). The solution can also flexibly adopt the 
Huawei active-active DR design to reduce customers' initial investment and meet 
their evolving DR requirements. This design also guarantees the non-disruptive 
upgrade from one system to active-active or active-passive dual-system 
deployment, and then to three-data-center (3DC) or even multi-DC four-copy 
solution. This allows equipment to be upgraded online as and when required. 
Customers can smoothly upgrade the DR protection level to achieve better, 
effective protection for production data. 

Furthermore, the solution achieves quick backup and restoration of warm data — 
specifically, fast backup, quick reuse, and efficient storage. This feat uses 
OceanProtect A8000 Appliance and OceanProtect X8000/X9000 Backup Storage, which 
provide industry-leading backup and recovery bandwidths. These products 
implement full, accelerated backup and recovery for warm or hot data, enabling 
backup data to flow like production data.

The Huawei OceanProtect Data Protection improves the overall data protection 
level throughout the lifecycle. It helps enterprises effectively protect their 
data using fast backup and recovery bandwidths while enabling better 
utilization of backup space. With an extensive portfolio of OceanProtect Data 
Protection, Huawei is committed to developing more powerful technologies, 
products, and solutions that prioritize and protect data in various scenarios 
in the intelligent world. For more information, please visit OceanProtect Data
