On October 30, 2026, Yuan Yuan, Vice President of Huawei and President of its Data Storage Product Line, stated at the 2026 Data Storage Industry Conference that AI development needs to enhance storage's capacity to support computing power. He noted that the average GPU utilization rate in current intelligent computing centers is about 30%, with roughly 70% of computing power failing to generate effective value, and that the development rate of usable data resources for enterprises is about 28.4%. Yuan Yuan proposed two paths, "All in One" and "One for All," aimed respectively at the industry AI user side and at the AI production side, including model vendors. A report released at the conference forecasts that by the end of 2026 the global storage industry will exceed $1.7 trillion in scale, with growth shifting toward enterprise SSDs, AI data centers, and inference-oriented data infrastructure.

Huawei Vice President Yuan Yuan: 70% of Computing Power Idle, Data Development Rate 28.4%, AI Development Requires Enhanced Storage Support
Yuan Yuan, Vice President of Huawei and President of the Data Storage Product Line, pointed out at the 2026 Data Storage Industry Conference that the average GPU utilization rate in China's intelligent computing centers is about 30%, with roughly 70% of computing power yet to generate effective value, and the enterprise data resource development rate is about 28.4%; AI development requires enhancing storage's ability to support computing power. A report released at the conference predicts that by the end of 2026, the global storage industry will exceed $1.7 trillion in scale, with growth shifting toward enterprise SSDs, AI data centers, and inference-oriented data infrastructure. Yuan Yuan proposed two paths, "All in One" and "One for All," aimed respectively at the industry AI usage side and the AI production side such as model vendors.
