Today, at the 2023 Global Data Storage Professors Forum, the list of Olympus Awards for 2022 was officially announced. In response to the two major industry challenges in data storage, the 2023 Olympus Challenge Red Flag was released to reward researchers worldwide who have made breakthrough contributions in the field of data storage.
Since 2019, the Olympus Challenge has been released annually, with the aim of leading the research direction of basic theories in the global data storage field, breaking through key technical challenges, accelerating the industrialization of scientific research achievements, and achieving win-win cooperation between industry, academia, and research.
The forum revealed multiple awards for Olympus in 2022. The team led by Professor Onur Mutlu from the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich focused on the research of data-centric network storage and computing fusion systems, innovated adaptive optimization algorithms, and accelerated technological iterations of storage architectures. They were awarded the Olympus Award in 2022. The team of Professor Jin Hai from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Professor Zhao Weisheng from Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Professor Miao Xiangshui from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and Professor Liu Jian from Zhejiang University won the Olympus Pioneer Award in 2022.
It is worth noting that in order to promote continuous breakthroughs in the field of basic technology, Huawei has officially announced two major challenges for Olympus in 2023 globally: one is to build storage technology with extreme cost-effectiveness per bit, and the other is to achieve data security and services for multiple clouds. Huawei hopes to collaborate with the academic community this year in the areas of data-centric storage architecture innovation, media application innovation and breakthroughs in new storage media, efficient data usage and governance technology for new applications, data resilience and active protection technology, and build high-quality data storage systems.
At this forum, Huawei also released the "Data Storage 2030" white paper, collaborating with the academic community to imagine innovative technologies for data storage in the next decade. It is predicted that by 2030, the total amount of data generated globally each year will reach 1YB, an increase of 23 times compared to 2020, and humanity will usher in the era of YB data.
Zhou Yuefeng, President of Huawei's Data Storage Product Line, stated that in the future, data storage will innovate in six key technologies: advanced media applications, data-centric architecture, data storage native security, intelligent data weaving, data as an application, and green low-carbon storage to meet the growing demand for data storage.
