How Huawei's Cloud is Rising Quickly

Recently, Huawei and Beijing Transmission Technology Company Limited (TPCAST) jointly completed the industry's first Cloud VR service validation under the 5G experimental network, realizing real-time cloud rendering of interactive CG (Computer Graphics) VR content, which is a transformative step forward in the history of the VR industry.

From last year to this year, Huawei Cloud seems to have risen to prominence, and can always be seen in the media achieving success.

According to the Huawei cloud official website, Huawei released its cloud strategy in 2010, and it was only after three years that it officially released its cloud operating system, FusionSphere, and there has been little substantial progress in the four years since. It was not until March 2017 during the Huawei China Eco-Partner Conference that Huawei Vice Chairman and rotating CEO Xu Zhijun announced the establishment of Cloud BU, Huawei began to make a full-scale effort in the field of cloud computing, and made rapid progress.

It can be said that Huawei Cloud really started in 2017, which is already quite late in the highly competitive cloud computing market, but the rapid progress of Huawei Cloud is really witnessed ****, is not it mind-boggling to many people?

Coinciding with a critical period of industry upgrading

Public cloud has been developing globally for a decade, with the first customers dominated by internet businesses. In this generation of public cloud, Amazon, Microsoft, Ali already have a clear advantage. However, two changes have occurred in the market: the first is that more traditional enterprises or government agencies customers began to migrate to the cloud, using cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence technology to transform the traditional architecture, and enjoy the dividends of these new technologies. Secondly, the last generation of public cloud development for ten years, technology, architecture are facing upgrading, especially in the new round of artificial intelligence tide, enterprises on the cloud has become the trend, to create a cloud ecosystem has become the cloud industry's top-level construction goals.

Because of changes in the customer base and technological upgrades, the public cloud is facing a transition period of updating and upgrading, which is precisely Huawei Cloud's opportunity and advantage. Because Huawei set up Noah's Ark Labs as early as 2012, investing in research on artificial intelligence and big data.In 2017, Huawei announced the establishment of Cloud BU and set up the EI Enterprise Intelligence Product Department to apply AI technology to enterprise application scenarios, realize industrialized operations, and make enterprises smarter.

Currently, Huawei Cloud's main business includes three main categories: private cloud for large and medium-sized enterprises, government cloud for China and the world, and standard public cloud. Cloud computing has become a more mature network information technology since its birth, and with today's artificial intelligence boom, cloud computing will incorporate more artificial intelligence, bringing profound technological changes to smart cities, public ****government, enterprises, and the general public.

So Huawei's public cloud, although it has not been in the game for long, is in the right place at the right time, so it is fueling its rapid development.

Clear Boundary Focus on Cloud Business

Large enterprises in all industries often make the common mistake of competing without restraint and expanding their business without boundaries. Huawei Cloud always adheres to the "three no's" when providing cloud services to global enterprises and governments: no applications, no data, and no equity investments.

"For eco-partners, we don't do apps, we don't touch data, we don't do equity investment, we don't compete with you," he said. These 'three no's' are the attitude of doing ecology. Our core value is to provide a stable, reliable, secure, trustworthy, and trustworthy cloud infrastructure and services, and that's what we should be doing." Zheng Yelai, president of Huawei Cloud BU, said this on March 22 at the Huawei China Eco-Partner Conference.

Huawei Cloud not touching data is not the same as not understanding data. In terms of data processing, Huawei Cloud has the accumulation of full-stack technology. At the scale of 10 trillion records of data at the petabyte level, with multiple query conditions, Huawei Cloud's operation time to accurately find the target data can reach the second level.

Having such industry-leading data processing capabilities, but not touching the data, which contains three sentences: the first sentence: Huawei does not use technical means in the background to obtain customer data, recognizing the enterprise's data sovereignty; the second sentence: Huawei does not commercialize the customer's data, and will never force the enterprise to exchange data with Huawei; the third sentence: Huawei will open up the capabilities of its own cloud and big data Huawei will open up its cloud and big data capabilities to help enterprises to process data and realize the value of data.

As we all know, data placed on the public cloud is one of the most sensitive topics in the entire industry. Huawei has been emphasizing "not touching data" since the first day it entered the market, and under the guidance of this strategic idea, it has won the trust of a large number of partners in a short period of time. By the end of 2017, Huawei Cloud had nearly 2,000 ecological partners. As the saying goes, "the flame is high when the people are lifting it up", with the help of so many partners, it is impossible for Huawei Cloud not to grow.

"Action-oriented" corporate culture

People who know Huawei know that the company is a typical "action-oriented": to do things, do not do it, do it to go all out to do the best, to the extent of no return. To the best, to an unparalleled degree. In recent years, Huawei's enterprise business and Huawei's consumer business have continued to rise, and now it's the turn of Huawei's cloud business.

In any industry, it's the doers who really make the difference, and that's where Huawei's culture comes in. Huawei Cloud BU was officially established just a year ago, and has not only shown its strength and sincerity to the industry, but also demonstrated a low-key, pragmatic, and honest attitude.

On December 17, 2017, Huawei Cloud established a cooperation with Topway Information Unity Company Limited to create nine public cloud industry solutions for the government and enterprises based on Huawei Cloud; on January 27, 2018, Huawei Cloud and UFIDA Cloud jointly released the four major general enterprise services of the marketing cloud, the collaborative cloud, the tax cloud, and the U8 cloud; in February 2018, Huawei Cloud officially released BCS, a deep learning service and blockchain service; on March 15, 2018, Huawei Cloud announced the opening of a Hong Kong data center to help enterprises access the world and innovate for the future.

Data shows that Huawei Cloud's services have increased from 45 in 10 major categories at the end of 2016 to more than 100 in 14 major categories at present, and more than 60 solutions are online, including manufacturing, healthcare, EI Enterprise Intelligence, e-commerce, SAP, HPC High Performance Computing, and IoT. Since the Cloud BU was established, Huawei Cloud has seen a threefold increase in the number of users and resource usage.

Market reports from IDC show that Huawei Cloud's government cloud solutions ranked in the vendor leader range in China's government cloud market; and FusionCloud's private cloud solutions ranked first in a number of Chinese markets.
