Once again, all eyes are on the annual event, the China Household Electrical Appliances and Consumer Electronics Expo 2024 (AWE 2024), held from March 14th to 17th at the Shanghai New International Expo Center. As one of the world's top three exhibitions for household electrical appliances and consumer electronics, AWE 2024 provides a premier platform for major tech companies to showcase their latest technologies and flagship products, attracting global attention. It is reported that this year's AWE, themed "Smart Technology, Creative Life," focuses on showcasing smart technology, intelligent scenarios, and innovative products, leading the development trends and consumer directions in the household electrical appliances and consumer electronics industry.
As the core exhibitor of AWE 2024, Huawei occupies over 1500 square meters of exhibition space to showcase its latest "black technology" and products in the field of smart homes. Sohu's Chairman of the Board, CEO, and founder, Zhang Chaoyang, also made an appearance at Huawei's smart home exhibition stand on March 14th. Huawei's household NAS (Network Attached Storage) product, part of its ecosystem of smart home products, was also unveiled at the Huawei brand zone at AWE 2024, attracting the attention of many attendees and consumers.
In recent years, there has been a significant surge in the demand for high-resolution photos, leading to a skyrocketing increase in digital assets per capita. Concurrently, the Chinese smart home market continues to expand, integrating smart living into every aspect of our lives. Whether it's for individuals or families, there's a growing demand for data space, convenient experiences, and secure storage. A home NAS (Network Attached Storage) that can cater to various scenarios such as childcare, office applications, and leisure and entertainment has become a necessity for consumers in their smart living and work setups.
With its powerful storage technology, AI intelligence, and HarmonyOS features, Huawei's home storage truly achieves the motto of "retrieve conveniently, store securely." It perfectly addresses the data storage needs of every family member. Its introduction resolves pain points such as insufficient space on mobile devices, complex cross-device access, difficulties in finding photos, and challenges in ensuring privacy. Huawei's participation in the home storage market undoubtedly further demonstrates the value and significance of AWE as a leading exhibition in the home appliances and consumer electronics industry.
Huawei's smartphone expansion tool: Expand with a Touch, Up to a Maximum of 16TB
Today, smartphones come with storage space of up to 512GB, or even 1TB and 2TB, yet many users still struggle to accommodate their extensive collections of high-definition photos, videos, and chat records. It's common for users to face storage crises shortly after getting a new phone. However, Huawei's home storage solution is poised to alleviate your smartphone storage anxiety effortlessly.
Huawei's home storage comes with dual hard drive bays, and the official versions include diskless, 4TB (2TB + 2TB), and 16TB (8TB + 8TB) options, providing an easy expansion solution for smartphones/tablets. If the official versions don't meet your expansion needs, you can also upgrade the storage capacity by replacing the hard drives with 44TB (22TB * 2) drives on your own. It's fair to call it Huawei's smartphone expansion tool.
Taking Huawei smartphones as an example, when the phone is on the same local network as Huawei's home storage, users can simply touch the NFC area of the home storage device with their phone to complete the device pairing through a quick pop-up window, expanding the storage space up to a maximum of 16TB. No more worrying about receiving "storage space full" notifications—it's truly Huawei's smartphone expansion tool. Even non-Huawei smartphone users need not worry; they can easily enjoy the convenient storage services of Huawei's home storage by downloading the Smart Life app.
The family data hub! Easy for both young and old, just use your phone to get started effortlessly.
One of the significant advantages of Huawei home storage compared to traditional NAS is its ease of use, eliminating a series of system building and setup processes. It can be said that as long as you can use a smartphone, you can use Huawei home storage well.
Each Huawei home storage supports up to 16 account logins. Different accounts have their own "private space" as well as a "public space" for file sharing. Whether it's accessing and sharing private data or shared data, it's very convenient and secure, just like a data hub for the whole family.
AI Photo Album, Intelligent Search: Home NAS Makes Photo and Video Searching Easier Than Ever
After storing massive amounts of data in traditional NAS systems, finding specific data becomes a challenge. For example, how can a busy mom quickly find photos of her baby in a vast photo library?
With Huawei's home storage AI photo album and intelligent search features, this problem is easily solved. The AI photo album on Huawei's home storage automatically organizes photos and videos into personalized albums based on multiple dimensions such as people, time, and location, saving time on sorting through cluttered photos. The baby album feature specifically presents photos of the baby in a timeline format, making it perfect for moms to document their baby's growth journey.
Utilizing the robust computational reasoning capabilities of AI engines and leveraging OCR technology (Optical Character Recognition), Huawei Home Storage supports intelligent search, enabling precise categorization and recommendations for photos. This achieves near-instantaneous presentation of image search results. To facilitate user searches, Huawei Home Storage pioneers natural semantic search. Users can input simple descriptive sentences to search for images, videos, files, and other materials. Even short videos within 10 minutes can be easily found, eliminating the need to laboriously sift through massive photo collections for desired content.
HarmonyOS Distributed Access: Enhancing Office Efficiency Effectively
Compared to traditional NAS, another significant advantage of Huawei Home Storage is HarmonyOS Distributed Access, which supports users in remote management and access.
With the HarmonyOS-based distributed access capability, whether through a PC or a tablet, users can log in and access the necessary files in their home storage anytime, anywhere. Even while on a business trip, they can continue editing using their smartphones, greatly enhancing the office efficiency of professional users. Especially with Huawei PCs, after installing the Huawei Home Storage app, users can see the "Home Storage" drive in the "My Computer" directory, just like their PC's own storage space, making it extremely convenient to share, view, and edit files.
Financial-grade Privacy Protection, Dual-Disk Backup: Secure, Reliable, and Worry-Free for Peace of Mind
In terms of security, Huawei Home Storage boasts financial-grade privacy protection capabilities, supporting full-machine encryption with individual encryption keys. Even if one file is compromised, others remain secure. Additional features include multi-account parity, fingerprint-secured vaults, effectively preventing data leaks and losses.
Huawei home storage differs from traditional RAID1 by employing Huawei's unique RAID scheme, supporting dynamic dual-disk backup and AI disk failure prediction. Users can flexibly manage whether to enable dual-disk backup for specific directories. When expanding disk capacity, simply replace one disk with a larger one. After data synchronization, replace the other disk to complete automatic data migration and system expansion, without the need to redo RAID or manually migrate data.
Similar to other Huawei products, Huawei home storage boasts a significant advantage of staying updated with the latest technology. While many traditional mechanical hard drives are prone to failure and damage during unexpected power outages, Huawei home storage is different. It features a dedicated power protection function that maximizes the safety of both the hard drive and data. In the event of a power outage, this power supply continues to provide power to Huawei home storage and automatically initiates a safe shutdown procedure. Upon power restoration, Huawei home storage automatically powers on without any manual intervention.
Choosing Huawei home storage to effortlessly tackle storage challenges is a wise decision.
Huawei's debut of its home storage solution at AWE 2024 has shed light on the significance of household NAS for more consumers. It's believed that in the future, more consumers will make it their top choice for home NAS products, leading a surge in home NAS adoption. From March 14th to March 17th, during Huawei's Home Improvement Season, Huawei's home storage is offering up to a whopping $400 off, starting at just $2599. If you're grappling with insufficient storage space on your phone, opting for Huawei's home storage will effortlessly tackle your storage woes. Choosing Huawei's home storage as your go-to option is indeed a wise decision!
