On April 28, the H3C Group hosted the NAVIGATE 2026 Leadership Summit, themed “Computing Power × Connectivity, AI × Future.” This event brought together government officials, esteemed scholars, industry leaders, technical experts, and ecosystem partners to explore the opportunities and challenges of the AI era. This year marks the 10th anniversary of H3C and the 23rd anniversary of the H3C brand. Positioned at this pivotal moment, the summit showcased H3C’s full-stack collaborative capabilities in “computing-network-storage-cloud-security-maintenance” through keynote addresses, technology innovation summits, industry forums, and an expansive exhibition area, highlighting the latest technological achievements and industry practices in AI infrastructure.
In his keynote speech, Yu Yingtao, Chairman, President, and CEO of H3C Group, characterized the current mindset of the AI industry as one of “excitement and anxiety.” He pointed out three unavoidable challenges facing the industry: a paradigm shift under the token economy, structural contradictions in AI autonomy, and systemic bottlenecks in AI performance. In response to these pressing questions of the era, Yu provided H3C’s “certain answers.” He stated that H3C would comprehensively upgrade its full-stack AI infrastructure capabilities, leveraging the synergy of “computing power × connectivity” to offer clients optimal value-for-money solutions for tokens.
As a core component of this strategy, H3C launched seven major products, with the most notable being its high-performance computing platform—the UniPoD S80000, designed for trillion-scale large models. This product achieves key breakthroughs in computing density, interconnect bandwidth, and system stability, addressing common performance bottlenecks in large-scale AI training and inference scenarios. Additionally, H3C introduced new products and solutions that encompass the entire chain of computing, networking, storage, cloud, security, and operations. These products are not merely incremental updates but are systematically integrated around the “computing-network-storage-cloud-security-maintenance” full-stack capabilities, creating a complete feedback loop from hardware to scheduling.
The summit featured a vast exhibition area showcasing H3C’s latest technological achievements in intelligent computing centers, AI-native networks, intelligent storage, and cloud-native security. Numerous ecosystem partners also presented industry solutions co-developed with H3C in the exhibition area. Yu emphasized that competition in the AI era is no longer about individual products but a contest of full-stack capabilities and ecosystem collaboration. H3C aims to use this summit as a starting point to deepen its focus on AI infrastructure, working alongside partners to address the challenges of the times and drive the intelligent transformation of various industries, thereby solidifying the digital foundation for leaps in AI technology.
The summit lasted two days and included not only the main forum and technology summit but also dozens of sub-forums and specialized seminars, offering in-depth discussions on hot topics such as AI infrastructure, large model implementation, and the development of the intelligent computing industry.
