H3C NAVIGATE Global Summit 2025 Kicks Off in Berlin, Building a New AI-Era Ecosystem with the Power of Synergy

Berlin, Germany, May 22, 2025 – On May 22, during GITEX Europe 2025 in Berlin, H3C grandly launched the H3C NAVIGATE Global Summit 2025. Centered around the theme of “Synergy+,” the summit showcased H3C’s technological blueprint and ecosystem strategy for the AI era, bringing together global industry leaders, technical experts, and enterprise representatives to explore cutting-edge trends. As H3C’s flagship annual event, the NAVIGATE Global Summit made its debut in Europe, marking a new phase in H3C’s global expansion and international business development.

Europe is currently at a critical inflection point in AI development. According to McKinsey’s latest research, AI investment growth in Europe has reached 1.7 times the global average. However, commercialization still faces three major challenges: the rigid demand for green computing, market fragmentation, and the prioritized development path for industrial AI. Europe is redefining its AI development paradigm—shifting from a “quantity revolution” focused on parameter scale to a “quality revolution” that emphasizes the real industrial value of computing power per watt. This transformation underscores that the core value of AI lies not in technical parameters themselves but in its deep empowerment of the real economy.

Tony Yu, President & CEO of H3C

At the summit, Tony Yu, President & CEO of H3C, delivered a keynote speech titled “Synergy, For a Better AI Era.” He emphasized that artificial intelligence has become an “accelerator” and a “force multiplier” for advancing social productivity. H3C embraces a global perspective and open collaboration, powered by its “AI in ALL” and “AI for ALL” vision. H3C has launched a full-stack intelligent computing solution that leverages the multiplier effect of “Computing × Connectivity” to reduce AIDC investment costs and improve operational efficiency. Meanwhile, H3C is accelerating the deployment of its full-stack liquid cooling solutions to drive green transformation across the AI industry. Additionally, through strategic partnerships, H3C empowers worldwide industry upgrades via its comprehensive AI portfolio including the LinSeer AI Solution, and is rapidly expanding LinSeerCube into global markets. Looking ahead, H3C remains dedicated to fostering an open, thriving ecosystem that combines technical innovation with business synergy. By democratizing AI adoption, we aim to make AI applications more accessible, efficient, and inclusive, ultimately creating a better digital life for all.

Achieving this vision requires not only technological breakthroughs but also a cross-regional, cross-domain collaborative innovation network. In its global strategy, H3C is transforming technological potential into industrial momentum through ecosystem synergy.

Gary Huang, H3C Co-President and the President of International BG, emphasized that in an era where AI is reshaping global industries, breakthrough innovation must rely on ecosystem collaboration.

He said guided by the “Partner First” principle and its “AI in ALL” and “AI for ALL” strategies, H3C has built an open and win-win “Ecosystem Synergy.” This ecosystem integrates full-stack intelligent computing capabilities, the self-developed LinSeer LLM, and scenario-based solutions. Through strategic alliances with global semiconductor leaders, ISVs, and standards organizations, H3C connects with over 3,200 industry partners and 300 service partners across 181 countries and regions. H3C drives technological innovation and scenario-based solutions through four ecosystem pillars—market-driven R&D, cutting-edge technology alliances, Partner-First approach, and localization strategy. Furthermore, H3C advances three localization strategies of building local innovation capabilities, empowering talent, and fostering localized ICT ecosystems to harmonize technological and commercial ecosystems. Through open collaboration, H3C and its partners achieve mutual success, ensuring AI innovation drives tangible industrial upgrades and leads the intelligent future.

From Computing Synergy to Intelligent Connectivity: Building a Green and Sustainable AI Foundation

Europe’s AI development stands at a pivotal juncture, with its market size projected to exceed €200 billion by 2025 while grappling with a severe 35% computing power gap. Aligned with its “AI in ALL” strategy, H3C proposes an innovative “Computing × Connectivity” approach, integrating three core elements—computing infrastructure, high-speed networking, and green energy-saving technologies—to deliver a full-stack intelligent computing solution. This solution, centered on high-performance lossless networks, AI servers, next-gen storage, and computing resource management platforms, significantly reduces AIDC investment costs while boosting operational efficiency.

Ray Xu, Senior Vice President of H3C, President of Cloud, Compute, and Storage Product Line, highlighted in his keynote that AI inclusivity hinges on a “diverse, efficient, and green” computing system. H3C has built an inclusive technological ecosystem: at the hardware level, it supports over 80 AI accelerator cards and 20+ AI server models; at the infrastructure level, it leverages SuperPOD AI clusters (capable of trillion-parameter model training), UniServer G7 servers, and the LinSeer AI Solution to establish a cohesive computing architecture optimized for “Computing × Connectivity” efficiency; at the software level, innovations like CAS computing virtualization and UltraStor distributed storage achieve breakthrough improvements in resource utilization.

Notably, in green innovation, H3C champions the “ALL in GREEN” philosophy, advancing its full-stack liquid cooling solution with revolutionary G-Flow immersion cooling technology. This reduces data center PUE to an industry-leading 1.1, enhances cooling efficiency by 40%, and achieves a “0 ODP” standard with zero ozone-depleting substances. This tripartite computing approach—diverse & adaptable, highly efficient, and sustainable—is establishing a scalable model for global AI adoption. It’s driving AI transformation across industries, unleashing intelligent productivity worldwide.

In an era where AI is sweeping the globe and computing demand grows exponentially, high-performance networking has become a critical pivot for intelligent computing center upgrades. Traditional Ethernet architectures struggle with bandwidth limitations, congestion, and packet loss when handling massive data transfers and heterogeneous computing coordination, hindering resource utilization. Qiao Yan, Senior Vice President of H3C, President of Network Product Line, shared how H3C addresses these challenges with its intelligent computing network solution, redefining computing efficiency through innovation.

H3C’s DDC (Diversified Dynamic-Connectivity) product series and solutions represent a technological breakthrough for high-performance intelligent computing networks. By leveraging advanced technologies such as cell-based switching and out of order delivery, DDC achieves large-scale lossless, non-blocking 400G/800G Clos fabric networking, delivering 107% higher effective bandwidth compared to traditional RoCE solutions. This significantly enhances the throughput capacity and operational stability of AI computing networks. Furthermore, H3C has collaborated with key ecosystem partners to submit multiple IETF drafts on open schedule fabric technology, accelerating the commercialization and standardization of DDC solutions.

Qiao also highlighted H3C’s groundbreaking 51.2T CPO switch—a cutting-edge solution that integrates silicon photonics with co-packaged optics technology. This innovation delivers 8x higher cluster throughput, 25% improved GPU efficiency, and 30% lower TCO through “silicon photonics + liquid cooling” integration, establishing a high-speed, green, and “zero-lag” network for intelligent computing centers.

H3C, a global leader in digital solutions and networking infrastructure, delivers an end-to-end product matrix covering data center, campus and WAN environments. Its networking portfolio comprises 1,000+ mainstream products across switching, routing, wireless, security, and network management domains.
