About the OlympusMons Awards

Data, as a factor of production, has become a foundational and strategic resource. Large Artificial Intelligence (AI) models have developed rapidly and contributed to an explosion in computing power, datasets, and parameters. This, in turn, has generated new demand for high-performance data infrastructure such as high-speed networks and storage. As ecosystem collaboration deepens, scenario-oriented applications across industries will be the next big thing. But they require a multi-protocol, stable, efficient, and resilient storage foundation to support the entire data lifecycle, covering data generation, storage, transmission, and processing. Additionally, data enablement and resilience technologies for emerging services are also major challenges for the storage industry in the data economy.

The OlympusMons Awards were set up in 2019 to drive global research in foundational data storage theories, overcome crucial technical challenges, accelerate the industrialization of scientific research achievements, and foster a mutually beneficial collaboration between industry, academia, and research. The OlympusMons Awards have gained significant acclaim in the industry, with more than 180 scholars from over 60 scientific research teams participating since their establishment. With the announcement of three OlympusMons Awards and nine Pioneer Awards, they are now widely regarded as a trusted mark of recognition for the industry.
