Shenzhen, China - February 4, 2026 - Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. announced today that its DCS Full-Stack Data Center Solution has successfully passed a rigorous technical validation conducted by Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), confirming the solution’s ability to meet the performance, reliability, and usability demands of modern data centers supporting artificial intelligence and digital transformation.
ESG, now part of global research and advisory firm Omdia and known for independent, real-world testing of enterprise technology solutions, evaluated Huawei’s DCS (Data Center Solution) in environments that reflect large-scale, diversified workloads. The assessment validated the DCS solution’s architecture resilience, high performance, and operational openness, key factors for infrastructure supporting scalable AI applications and critical services.
“As data centers scale rapidly and support increasingly diverse workloads, enterprises need differentiated infrastructure to fulfill their service needs and maximize cost efficiency,” ESG said in its report, highlighting how the Huawei DCS solution delivers intelligent management capabilities and resource pooling tailored for the AI era.
The validation report emphasized three major technical strengths of Huawei’s solution: resilience and reliability, engineering performance, and openness with ease of use. According to ESG, the architecture includes multilayer ransomware protection and collaborative network-storage-compute defense. It features such as data backup, high availability for intra-site services, and disaster recovery across sites, all designed to ensure operational continuity for core services.
ESG also benchmarked performance using the Flexible I/O Tester (FIO) tool, where Huawei’s DCS solution delivered more than 30% higher IOPS relative to typical configurations, demonstrating improved throughput with optimized hardware and software synergy. That level of performance, the validation said, helps enterprises support demanding workloads while reducing required resources and associated costs.
On the usability front, ESG highlighted the solution’s broad compatibility with mainstream devices, support for seamless migration of large virtual machine estates, and the inclusion of the MigrationDirector tool to simplify transitions. These factors position the DCS solution as both investment-protective and future-ready for evolving data center landscapes.
The validation underscores the growing imperative for data center solutions that not only support conventional enterprise workloads but also the computational intensity and agility required by AI and digital transformation initiatives. Huawei said the results affirm its engineering approach and reinforce its strategy to accelerate AI adoption across industries by helping enterprises build resilient, high-performance, and flexible data center infrastructure.
ESG technical validations are recognized in the industry as independent confirmations of solution capabilities due to their comprehensive testing methodologies and real-world scenario modelling, making this a significant milestone for Huawei’s data center portfolio amid rising global demand for AI-optimized infrastructure.
