The 10th edition of Huawei Connect 2025, was held at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center (SWEECC), with the overarching theme of “All Intelligence”. During this event, Huawei Digital Power also held the Data Center Facility Summit, bringing together over 500 business leaders, technical experts, and ecosystem partners from around the world. The summit focuses on advancing industry intelligence and exploring new green technologies and practices in digital and intelligent infrastructure.
In his opening remarks, Bob He, Vice President, Huawei Digital Power shed light on how AIDCs are propelling infrastructure toward “computing factories” amid the explosive growth of AI computing power. He said that to meet the demands of the AI era, future infrastructure must be built with AI readiness in mind, turning the unpredictability of traditional data center engineering into productized and prefabricated AIDC solutions.
Steve Kim, President of Data Center Facility & Critical Power Marketing, Sales and Services, Huawei Digital Power, said at the summit that AI foundation models expedite intelligent transformation of industries and propel the explosion of global GW-scale clusters. The scale of new AIDCs is expected to reach 112 GW in the next five years, predicted by authoritative organizations.
During the event, Huawei also released the AIDC Facility Reference Design White Paper, which delivers systematic guidance for the standardized design and construction of AIDCs. The White Paper provides an in-depth analysis of challenges faced by high-density cabinets in AIDCs in terms of cooling, power supply and distribution, floor height, and load-bearing capacity, and offers design suggestions across four key dimensions of architectural structure, power supply and distribution, cooling, and integrated cabling, providing multiple reference design solutions for AIDCs based on different power densities.
During Huawei Connect 2025, Huawei Digital Power demonstrated its innovative green and low-carbon solutions across three key scenarios: efficient power consumption, electrification, and low-carbon power generation. The event offered an in-depth look at Huawei’s latest strategic initiatives of its All Intelligence strategy across three dimensions: strategy, technology, and ecosystems.
