By 2030, global data generation is projected to reach 1 yottabyte annually, driven by the proliferation of smart devices, AI, and edge computing. Huawei forecasts a 10-fold increase in general storage and a 500-fold rise in AI storage capacity from 2020 levels. This data explosion will reshape industries—enabling personalized healthcare, smart agriculture, intelligent cities, and autonomous transport. To support this shift, storage architectures will transition from CPU-centric to data-centric models, emphasizing decoupled computing-storage, high-throughput networks, and intelligent data fabric. Priorities include resilience, zero-trust security, energy efficiency, and multi-modal data intelligence.
