Huawei Digital Power held its Data Center Infrastructure Summit in Shanghai on September 19, 2025, coinciding with the Huawei Connect 2025 event. The summit brought together more than 500 business leaders, technical experts, and ecosystem partners from the global data center industry to explore new technologies and practices of green and low-carbon digital infrastructure in the era of industry intelligence.

AI Data Center Market Projections and Industry Transformation

Steve Kim, President of Data Center Facility & Critical Power Marketing, Sales and Services at Huawei Digital Power, announced that the scale of new AI data centers is expected to reach 112 GW in the next five years, according to predictions by authoritative organizations. Kim stated that AI foundation models are expediting the intelligent transformation of industries and propelling the explosion of global GW-scale clusters.

Bob He, Vice President of Huawei Digital Power, emphasized that AI data centers are propelling infrastructure toward “computing factories” amid the explosive growth of AI computing power. He noted that application scenarios and value of AI are shifting from quantitative growth to qualitative transformation, driven by ongoing improvements in computing infrastructure and rapid progress in model deep reasoning and multi-model fusion technologies.

Technical Infrastructure Requirements and Solutions

According to He's presentation, efficient and reliable power transmission from grids to chips requires simplifying conversion links and driving innovation in power supply architecture. He explained that thermal management can benefit from a hybrid architecture with adjustable air-liquid ratio to adapt to dynamic AI service requirements. The company proposes that future infrastructure must be built with AI readiness in mind, transforming the unpredictability of traditional data center engineering into productized and prefabricated AI data center solutions.

Huawei announced it will intensify research and development investment in power supply, thermal management, and infrastructure. In response to challenges in terms of safety, delivery, IT evolution, and energy consumption in the intelligent computing era, Huawei has proposed an AI data center construction guideline called RAS. The company provides comprehensive AI data center solutions featuring all-scenario reference design, highly reliable products and solutions, global ecosystem, and full-lifecycle services.

AIDC Facility Reference Design White Paper Release

During the event, Huawei released the AIDC Facility Reference Design White Paper, which delivers systematic guidance for the standardized design and construction of AI data centers. The White Paper provides an in-depth analysis of challenges faced by high-density cabinets in AI data centers in terms of cooling, power supply and distribution, floor height, and load-bearing capacity.

The document offers design suggestions across four key dimensions: architectural structure, power supply and distribution, cooling, and integrated cabling. It provides multiple reference design solutions for AI data centers based on different power densities.

Green Technology and Sustainability Focus

At the summit, Huawei Digital Power showcased its green and low-carbon all-scenario digital power solutions and success stories. The company demonstrated innovative green and low-carbon solutions with a focus on efficient power consumption, electrification, and low-carbon power generation. Huawei Digital Power stated its aim to build a robust foundation for intelligent computing that enables more computing power from each watt.

The company emphasized its commitment to fostering industry-wide collaboration to build a better, greener future through continuous investment in innovation and integration of digital and power electronics technologies. The company positioned itself as working with the industry to build high-quality, secure, and reliable data centers in the AI era, providing high-quality products and solutions to boost the construction of reliable, agile, and sustainable AI data centers.

Huawei expressed its goal to work with the industry to thrive in what it termed the golden era of intelligent computing, empowering customers to seize the immense opportunities of the AI era.
