Huawei recently hosted its Huawei Intelligent IT Summit 2026, bringing together Sri Lanka’s leading CIOs, CTOs, enterprise technology leaders, and digital transformation decision-makers to explore how organizations can build the next generation of AI-ready digital infrastructure.
Held as Huawei’s flagship enterprise IT infrastructure event in Sri Lanka, the summit provided a timely platform for the ICT community to exchange insights on how artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and data-driven technologies are reshaping enterprise IT architecture and accelerating industry intelligence.
A key highlight of the summit was the introduction of three next-generation infrastructure solutions designed to support the growing demand for AI computing, high-performance data processing, and secure digital platforms.
Among the solutions unveiled was the next-generation OceanStor Dorado converged all-flash storage system, engineered to power mission-critical enterprise workloads such as financial systems, databases, and core digital services. The system delivers ultra-low latency, high reliability, and intelligent data management capabilities, enabling organizations to enhance operational efficiency and resilience.

The platform enables enterprises and research institutions to efficiently manage massive datasets while supporting AI model training, high-performance computing, and advanced analytics.
In addition, Huawei highlighted its Atlas Intelligent Computing platform, positioning it as a key foundation for mainstream AI adoption. As enterprises increasingly integrate AI into their operations, Atlas provides the high-performance computing capabilities required for AI model development, large-scale training, and intelligent application deployment across industries.
