Huawei is entering the public cloud market, placing the company in competition with AliCloud, AWS and other major global public cloud providers.
At the Huawei Global Analyst Summit in Shenzhen yesterday, Huawei said it will work with industry partners to promote ten scenario-specific cloud services covering HPC Cloud, SAP Cloud, IoT Cloud and other common scenarios.
“Cloud technology is becoming the new growth engine as digital transformations accelerate,” Huawei president of cloud business unit and IT product line Zheng Yelai said at the event.
“Huawei has continued to step up its R&D, one result culminating in the cloud service offering. Huawei has become the preferred partner for many of the world's top customers and will continue to provide high-quality cloud services with our partners as we persist in building a healthy ecology in the sector."
The vendor is establishing a dedicated cloud division with 2,000 staff and last month launched 54 full-stack public cloud services in ten categories. Huawei said since the launch it has attracted customers in China, Europe, North America, Latin America and the South Pacific.
Huawei is also working with operators including China Mobile, Deutsche Telekom and Telefonica to provide tailored public cloud services to their respective customers.
