Recently, Huawei and Beijing Transmission Technology Co., Ltd. (TPCAST) jointly completed the industry’s first 5G experimental offline Cloud VR service verification, realizing real-time cloud rendering of interactive CG (Computer Graphics) VR content. It is a transformative progress in the history of VR industry development.

From last year to this year, Huawei Cloud seems to have suddenly emerged. You can always see Huawei Cloud achieving great results in the media.

According to information on Huawei Cloud’s official website, Huawei released its cloud strategy in 2010, and it was three years before it officially released the cloud operating system FusionSphere. There has been no substantial progress in the following four years. It was not until Huawei Vice Chairman and Rotating CEO Xu Zhijun announced the establishment of Cloud BU during the Huawei China Ecological Partner Conference in March 2017 that Huawei began to fully develop the cloud computing field and achieve rapid development.

It can be said that Huawei Cloud really started in 2017, which is quite late in the highly competitive cloud computing market. However, the rapid progress of Huawei Cloud is indeed eye-catching. Are there many people? Unbelievable?

It coincides with the critical period of industry upgrading

Public cloud has been developing around the world for ten years, and the first batch of customers are mainly Internet companies. Among this generation of public clouds, Amazon, Microsoft, and Alibaba already have obvious advantages. However, two changes have taken place in the market: First, more traditional enterprises or government agency customers have begun to migrate to the cloud, using cloud computing, big data, and artificial intelligence technologies to transform traditional architectures and enjoy these new technologies. dividends. Second, after ten years of development of the previous generation of public cloud, both technology and architecture are facing upgrades. Especially with the help of a new wave of artificial intelligence, cloud migration has become a general trend for enterprises, and building a cloud ecosystem has become the top-level construction goal of the cloud industry.

Due to changes in customer base and technology upgrades, public cloud is facing a transition period of updates and upgrades. This is the opportunity and advantage of Huawei Cloud. Because Huawei established the Noah's Ark Laboratory as early as 2012 and invested in research on artificial intelligence and big data. In 2017, Huawei announced the establishment of Cloud BU and established the EI Enterprise Intelligent Product Department to apply artificial intelligence technology to enterprise application scenarios to achieve industrialized operations and make enterprises smarter.

Currently, Huawei Cloud’s main businesses include three major categories: private cloud for large and medium-sized enterprises, government cloud for China and the world, and standard public cloud. Since its birth, cloud computing has become a relatively mature network information technology. Under the current craze of artificial intelligence, cloud computing will incorporate more artificial intelligence and bring benefits to smart cities, government affairs, enterprises, and the general public. Profound technological change.

Therefore, although Huawei’s public cloud has not been in the market for a long time, it has entered the market at the right time, thus promoting its rapid development.

Clear boundaries and focus on cloud business

Large companies in all walks of life often make a common mistake: blindly compete, expand their business without restraint, and without boundaries. Huawei Cloud always adheres to the "three no's" when providing cloud services to global enterprises and governments: no applications, no data contact, and no equity investment.

“For ecological partners, if we don’t make applications on the Internet and don’t touch data on the Internet, what’s yours is yours and what’s mine is mine. It doesn’t matter to you or me. If we don’t make equity investment, it means I don’t Compete with you. These "three no's" are the attitude of being ecological. Our core value is to provide a stable, reliable, secure, trustworthy cloud infrastructure and services. This is what we should do most." On March 22, Zheng Yelai, President of Huawei Cloud BU, gave this speech at the Huawei China Ecological Partner Conference.

Huawei Cloud does not touch data, which does not mean it does not understand data. In terms of data processing, Huawei Cloud has accumulated full-stack technology. With a petabyte-level data scale of 10 trillion records and multiple query conditions, Huawei Cloud can accurately find target data in seconds.

Having such industry-leading data processing capabilities, but not touching the data, contains three sentences: The first sentence: Huawei does not use technical means to obtain customer data in the background and recognizes corporate data. Sovereignty; second sentence: Huawei will not monetize customer data commercially, and will never force companies to exchange data with Huawei; third sentence: Huawei will open up its cloud and big data capabilities to help companies process data and make use of their data. the value of.

As we all know, data placed on the public cloud is the most sensitive topic in the entire industry. Huawei has continuously emphasized "not touching data" from the first day it entered the market. Under the guidance of this strategic thinking, 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, "Everyone lifts the flames." With the help of so many partners, it is impossible for Huawei Cloud not to grow.

The "actionist" corporate culture

Everyone who knows Huawei knows that this company is a typical "actionist": if you don't do what you want to do, it will be done. , go all out when you do it, do your best, and do it to the best of your ability. This is true for Huawei's enterprise business and Huawei's consumer business, which have continued to rise in recent years. Now it is the turn of Huawei's cloud business.

In any industry, it is the doers who truly determine the direction of the industry, and this is exactly where Huawei’s culture lies.

Huawei Cloud BU has been officially established for just one year. It has not only demonstrated its strength and sincerity to the industry, but also demonstrated a low-key, pragmatic and honest attitude.

On December 17, 2017, Huawei Cloud and Tuowei Information Systems Co., Ltd. established a cooperation to create nine public cloud industry solutions for governments and enterprises based on Huawei Cloud; January 27, 2018 , Huawei Cloud and UFIDA Cloud jointly released four general enterprise services: marketing cloud, collaboration cloud, tax cloud, and U8 cloud; in February 2018, Huawei Cloud officially released deep learning services and blockchain services BCS; in March 2018 On the 15th, Huawei Cloud announced the opening of a Hong Kong data center to help companies access the world and innovate the future.

Data shows that Huawei Cloud’s services have increased from 45 in 10 categories at the end of 2016 to more than 100 in 14 categories currently, including manufacturing, medical, EI enterprise intelligence, e-commerce, SAP, HPC high-end More than 60 solutions including performance computing and IoT. Since the establishment of Cloud BU, the number of Huawei Cloud users and resource usage have increased threefold.

Market reports from IDC show that Huawei Cloud’s government cloud solution ranks among the leaders in China’s government cloud market; its FusionCloud private cloud solution ranks first in many places in the Chinese market.
