File storage and object storage play an essential role in storing massive amounts of unstructured data. In Coldago's classification, file storage is further divided into Enterprise File Storage and High-Performance File Storage.

• Enterprise File Storage focuses on file sharing for research and development, production, and office purposes, such as semiconductor EDA simulations, financial data exchange platforms, telecom bill systems, and distributed new-core container platforms. These applications typically generate vast amounts of small files and require high performance, reliability, data security, and access control.
• High-Performance File Storage, with its excellent directory management, multi-user sharing capabilities, exceptional parallel file system performance, extensive POSIX interface compatibility, and strong file consistency, is widely used in large-scale data sharing and access in fields such as scientific computing, simulation, and media editing.

Additionally, object storage benefits from its flattened data structure, rich metadata definitions, and standard RESTful API interfaces. It offers efficient data retrieval, excellent scalability, easy access, and flexible management, making it an ideal choice for native object applications, advanced data analytics, and backup and archiving workloads.

Huawei’s OceanStor storage is deployed in over 150 countries and regions globally, serving a wide range of industries, including finance, telecom, manufacturing, healthcare, government, and public services. Looking forward, Huawei will continue to invest in innovation, focusing on usage and management efficiency, storage performance, reliability, and green low-carbon solutions, aiming to become the preferred choice for data infrastructure across all industries.
