Recognition covers infrastructure platform capabilities
Gartner’s 2026 Magic Quadrant for Infrastructure Platform Consumption Services evaluates vendors on their IT infrastructure platform capabilities, service-oriented delivery, and operations management, according to Huawei’s announcement.
Huawei says the recognition validates its architecture for integrating storage, compute, network, virtualization, data and AI, and intelligent management. The company describes this approach as a way to help enterprises accelerate their digital and intelligent transformation.
Huawei’s DCS data center solution is built on what the company describes as 18 years of technical expertise. The solution brings its infrastructure and management capabilities together in a single offering, with tools aimed at resource scheduling, application deployment, data protection, and operations.
DCS combines infrastructure, data and AI tools
The DCS solution uses Huawei’s eSphere virtualization technology to provide resource pooling and scheduling for storage, compute, and network resources. Huawei says this is designed to improve how those resources are delivered across an enterprise environment.
For AI-related workloads, the ModelEngine model platform and Nexent agent platform are intended to help customers accelerate the deployment of models and agent applications. The announcement does not provide performance figures for either platform.
Huawei’s OceanStor data storage supports block, file, and object protocols. The company says the system is designed to provide high performance, reliability, and scalability, while also offering data protection through an intra-city active-active setup, remote disaster recovery, and multi-layer ransomware protection.
Resource delivery and management are handled through Huawei’s unified iMaster DME platform. Huawei says the platform provides service-oriented storage, compute, and other resources, and delivers what it calls a new AgenticOps experience for customers.
Huawei cites adoption across 170 countries and regions
Huawei says DCS has been selected by more than 15,000 customers from over 170 countries and regions. Those customers span sectors including government, finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and carriers.
The Gartner recognition gives Huawei a prominent position in a report covering infrastructure platform consumption services, while the company’s stated customer footprint indicates that it is targeting organizations with varied infrastructure and operational requirements.
Huawei says it will continue to prioritize customer needs and work with ecosystem partners. Its stated goals are to help enterprises build efficient and reliable IT infrastructure, improve the service experience, increase operations efficiency, and achieve shared success in what the company calls the intelligent era.
