Huawei accelerates computing strategy and deepens its ecosystem-based industry layout

At the Cloud and Computing Summit held during the 17th Huawei Global Analyst Conference, Huawei announced that it will further accelerate the advancement of its computing strategy with an ecological industry layout, build an ecosystem around computing and Huawei Cloud, and create black soil to become the foundation of the digital world. To this end, Huawei will continue to develop the industry ecosystem, continuously innovate in technology and products, and enhance the fertility of the black soil. In 2020, Huawei will invest US$200 million in the development of the computing industry ecosystem and develop 2 million developers worldwide.

Zhang Shunmao, senior vice president of Huawei and director of the Strategy and Industry Development Department of Cloud and Computing BG, introduced the layout of ecological industry

Huawei provides partners with increasingly fertile black soil through product and solution innovation and optimized business models, enabling partners to develop applications, grow more crops, and realize commercial value. Huawei actively works with industry partners to build an ecological innovation center, creating an incubator for the computing industry ecosystem through practical results display, industry chain enterprise empowerment, industry solution empowerment, computing talent training, innovative enterprise cultivation, and application innovation. So far, Huawei Cloud and the computing industry ecosystem have grown rapidly, with more than 10,000 Huawei Cloud partners, more than 3,500 Huawei Cloud technology partners and ISVs in the computing field, more than 5,000 applications listed on Huawei Cloud Partners' cloud market, and more than 5,000 Huawei-certified solutions from partners in the computing field, and 37 global cloud and computing ecological innovation centers.

New digital infrastructure represented by cloud, AI, and 5G is a new engine for the global economic take-off. Cloud is the key to unleashing the potential of AI and promoting strong economic growth. Through continuous innovation, Huawei has made Huawei Cloud the first choice for digital transformation and intelligent upgrades for government and enterprise customers, and provided the world with diverse, abundant, and economic computing power, making cloud ubiquitous and intelligence all-pervasive. Huawei Cloud empowers digital transformation, enables intelligent upgrades, and works with customers and partners to achieve business success. According to Huawei's report "Ubiquitous Computing Power: The Cornerstone of an Intelligent Society", the per capita computing power level is highly positively correlated with the economic level. In traditional manufacturing, $1 of computing power investment can generate $10 of output value increase.

Since the release of its overall computing strategy in 2019, Huawei has achieved rapid growth in cloud, computing, data infrastructure and other fields.

In terms of cloud, Huawei continues to leverage the synergistic advantages of cloud, AI, and 5G, and provides stable, reliable, and sustainable cloud services through full-stack technology innovation. Huawei's cloud business has grown steadily overall and is currently entering a fast lane of development. It has launched more than 210 cloud services in 23 categories, more than 190 industry and general solutions, and operates 45 availability zones in 23 geographic regions around the world with partners. In 2019, Huawei Cloud's IaaS market ranked top three in China and top six in the world, with the fastest growth rate in the world. In March 2020, Huawei Cloud launched the world's first enterprise-level AI application development kit ModelArts Pro to accelerate the implementation of industry AI; in May, it released its government and enterprise strategy and announced that the new Huawei Cloud Stack series products were officially launched, committed to becoming the first choice for government and enterprise intelligent upgrades. Based on the Huawei Cloud Qitian architecture, Huawei Cloud, Huawei Cloud Stack, and Huawei Cloud Edge can share the full-stack infrastructure capability upgrade, achieve full-scenario coverage of cloud, edge, and end with one architecture, and unify the experience and ecosystem to accelerate government and enterprise customers' move towards digitalization and intelligence.

在计算方面，华为致力于打造围绕“x86+鲲鹏+GPU+昇腾”的多样性算力，面向通用计算，推出整机、主板、板卡等；面向AI计算，推出Atlas全系列产品。2019年，华为计算设备发货量同比增长约8%。

In terms of data infrastructure, Huawei focuses on building the OceanStor data storage system with innovative algorithms and architectures, and cooperates with industry partners such as big data and databases to build a converged, intelligent, and open data infrastructure, focusing on the entire life cycle of data to optimize the cost per bit of data and maximize the value per bit. Currently, Huawei's storage services serve more than 12,000 customers worldwide, with a compound growth rate of storage revenue of 39%. In 2019, all-flash and massive data storage both grew by more than 50%.
