Gartner evaluates infrastructure platform providers
Business and technology analysis company Gartner has published its 2026 Magic Quadrant report for Infrastructure Platform Consumption Services, according to a PR Newswire announcement from Huawei dated November 10, 2026.
The report evaluates vendors using criteria that include infrastructure platform capabilities, service-oriented delivery and operations management. Huawei said its placement recognizes an architecture designed to combine storage, computing, networking, virtualization, data and artificial intelligence, and intelligent management capabilities.
The company described the recognition as confirmation of its approach to helping businesses accelerate digital and intelligent transformation. Gartner’s assessment is presented in Huawei’s announcement as an external evaluation of the supplier landscape, while the product and customer claims come from Huawei.
DCS combines infrastructure and AI capabilities
Huawei’s DCS data center solution is based on 18 years of technical expertise, according to the company. It brings together storage, computing, networking, virtualization, data and artificial intelligence, and intelligent management capabilities in one offering.
The solution uses Huawei’s eSphere virtualization technology to create and schedule a shared resource pool for storage, computing and networking resources. The company also says its ModelEngine model platform and Nexent agent platform help customers accelerate the deployment of model and agent applications.
OceanStor, Huawei’s data storage system, supports block, file and object protocols natively. Huawei says it is designed to provide performance, reliability and scalability, while also supporting data protection through solutions that include intra-city active-active deployments, remote disaster recovery and multilayer ransomware protection.
Huawei cites reach across 170 countries and regions
Huawei’s unified iMaster DME management platform provides storage, computing and other resources through a service-oriented model. The company says this gives customers a new AgenticOps experience, linking infrastructure delivery with management and operations.
Huawei says DCS has been selected by more than 15,000 customers in more than 170 countries and regions. Those customers include organizations in government, finance, healthcare, manufacturing and telecommunications.
For users, the Gartner placement and the reported customer base position DCS as a broad infrastructure platform rather than a standalone storage or computing product. Huawei says it will continue prioritizing customer needs and working with ecosystem partners to help organizations build efficient and reliable IT infrastructure, improve service experience and increase operational efficiency. The announcement does not provide details about pricing, availability or Gartner’s individual scoring.
