One year progress of Huawei Cloud Computing: the way to catch up with and surpass cross-border giants
Ren Zhengfei once described Huawei's blueprint for entering cloud computing. Huawei should catch up with and surpass Cisco on the cloud platform as soon as possible, catch up with Google on the cloud business, and let the world use information applications and services like electricity
just one year later, Huawei's cloud computing layout has been completed, forming a customer-centric ability to provide all-round personal services, and began to make an all-round attack on the new battlefield
cloud computing is well prepared
in the view of Wang Haifeng, marketing director of Telecom cloud computing product line, Huawei's practice in the cloud field has just begun, and everything is still in the process of exploration. However, cloud computing is the application of ICT technology in various industries and fields. The cloud will serve applications in various forms, which means that no one can dominate the world and also gives Huawei endless opportunities

in terms of Telecom cloud, Huawei has developed its vision to be a trusted Telecom IT service partner. Huawei hopes to help telecom operators carry out more business innovation through excellent IT technology and services
in order to match the demands of operators, Huawei divides Telecom cloud solutions into two major solutions: Telecom private cloud and public cloud. Telecom private cloud solutions are internal IT services of operators, mainly covering the construction and transformation of operators' IT infrastructure and ITO and BPO outsourcing services; Telecom public cloud solutions are external IT services, mainly covering it application services for small and medium-sized enterprises, it outsourcing services for large government and enterprise customers, government cloud solutions, etc
since the telecom cloud includes infrastructure, storage/server/network, system management software, business applications, integration services, management services and other aspects, what advantages does Huawei, which has been fighting in the field of operators, have to provide end-to-end IT services and solutions
in Wang Haifeng's words, Huawei is not unprepared to enter the cloud computing field, but has accumulated for many years, and starts to work as soon as the time comes. In 2007, Huawei and Symantec established a joint venture, achieving a compound annual growth of 80% in the field of storage and security; The joint venture was successfully repurchased by Huawei in early 2012, which greatly enhanced Huawei's strength in the field of storage and security. In the field of servers, Huawei has been investing in research and development since 2001. Huawei x86 series servers have more than 30 performance indicators, ranking first in spec. In addition, Huawei has accumulated more than 20 years in the field of Traditional Telecom IP, including the well-known full range of network product solutions; Huawei also has more than 20 years of experience in telecommunications software. Its bss/oss has been successfully applied in more than 400 operators around the world, and ngsdp has ranked first in the world for three consecutive years. Huawei has also provided management services to more than 100 operators in more than 60 countries around the world, covering more than 230million users
years of experience in these areas have enabled Huawei to accumulate all-round Telecom cloud capabilities. This is also the uniqueness of Huawei as a provider of Telecom cloud solutions. It has the ability to provide all-round Telecom cloud solutions. Wang Haifeng said
be a pioneer
at the just concluded 2012 Huawei Cloud Computing Conference, Huawei showed its biggest achievements since entering the field of cloud computing: but is the analyzer an experimental machine? In fact, many people often mix the two into one. Talk about the world's largest desktop cloud, which can be used by 70000 people at the same time
Huawei has completed the layout of cloud computing, and has built delivery capacity centers in Shenzhen, Xi'an, Beijing, Hangzhou and Chengdu. Wang Haifeng told the flying elephant
according to Wang Haifeng, as a leading supplier in the field of ICT, Huawei increased its investment in new fields such as cloud computing, it technology and network security technology in 2011. Its R & D investment was 23.7 billion yuan, and its innovation investment increased by 34.2% year-on-year, accounting for 11.6% of the total sales revenue. Since it fully entered the cloud computing field in 2008, Huawei has invested 10000 people in the IT field and 6000 people in the cloud computing field for research and development. In addition, Huawei has widely participated in SNIA, iso/iec, TMF, IEEE, ITU-T, C to avoid impact and dust entering SA, ODCA, OMA, ETSI, ATIS, CSCC and other international cloud computing standard related organizations. It is the first Chinese company on the board of directors of dmtf, a mainstream cloud computing standard organization
in 2011, Huawei established the 2012 laboratory, which is Huawei's innovation engine and the main body responsible for innovation, R & D and platform development, and is highly expected by Huawei. In addition, Huawei has set up 23 R & D centers around the world, including 6 in Europe and 5 in North America, and has established 34 joint innovation centers with customers
since entering cloud computing, Huawei has also established extensive cooperative relations with all parties in the industrial chain to jointly explore the market. In 2011, Huawei announced the establishment of its IT product line, began to lay out the cloud computing field across the board, and released the cloud sail plan 2012. At present, it has established cooperative relations with more than 400 enterprises such as Intel and IBM on cloud computing, and has more than 2200 distributors, independent software developers and value-added distributors
the joint efforts of all parties have produced amazing results. Data shows that as of April this year, Huawei has helped customers build 210 data centers around the world, including 20 cloud computing data centers, including China Mobile International Information Port, the world's largest cloud data center. Our storage services have more than 2000 customers all over the world, and the amount of SMB transactions carried by servers is as high as US $62billion every year. Huawei servers have broken spec78 world records. Wang Haifeng said
Telecom cloud practitioners
in the process of traditional telecom business cloud, in order to ensure business continuity, data reliability and security, we must have a deep understanding and rich experience of telecom business. Compared with other it and Internet enterprises, Huawei has accumulated many years in the telecommunications field and has long-term cooperation experience with operators, which enables Huawei to have a deeper understanding of the needs of operators. Coupled with professional integration services and management service capabilities, Huawei can better help operators achieve cloud business. Wang Haifeng said
when preparing for ICT transformation, it is very important for operators to learn from the successful experience in the industry. It is understood that Huawei has participated in and successfully implemented a large number of new and transformation projects of data centers, ranging from cloud migration of Telecom IT systems, government cloud construction to public cloud services, and many mainstream operators around the world have adopted Huawei's solutions. By the first quarter of 2012, Huawei had completed the construction of more than 200 data centers. The cloud computing solutions deployed by Huawei can be seen in Jiangsu Mobile, Anhui Unicom, Shanghai Telecom, Sichuan Telecom, Shanghai middle school, Shanghai Municipal Economic Information Commission, Beijing Municipal Economic Information Commission, Fujian provincial government, Singapore s through these parameters tarhub, Guatemala Tigo and other institutions
Wang Haifeng told me a case. China Mobile originally built independent IDC in 31 provinces across the country. It is difficult to manage the architecture and low resource utilization. It needs to build a first-class information base to win the IDC market. To this end, China Mobile has cooperated with Huawei to build the northern base, which is the world's largest cloud data center. After the completion of the project, the customer spoke highly of Huawei's solution and believed that it brought high value: compared with traditional data centers, the investment savings reached 30%; The online time of the application system was shortened from a few weeks to a few hours, and the computer room density increased by 30%. In the practice of these projects, Huawei has also accumulated rich experience in consulting, design, integration, operation and maintenance, which can better help operators carry out the construction of Telecom cloud. Wang Haifeng said
while making great strides in cloud computing, Huawei has a very clear understanding of its own positioning. Huawei is now one of the world's leading communication enterprises, and has assumed the role of global leader in the communication field, but it is not Huawei's traditional advantage field after all. Wang Haifeng told that without cloud computing, Huawei would not be so determined to enter the IT industry as it is now. Because cloud computing is a new thing, all participants stand at the same starting line. Moreover, cloud computing is a revolution, which will inevitably overturn many old things and have a huge impact on the old pattern, so traditional IT manufacturers will have a lot of concerns. Huawei has no such historical burden and burden, which is a major advantage of Huawei
it doesn't matter how much equipment it can sell and how much revenue it has. Huawei's main goal now is to help operators make effective use of cloud computing technology, so that operators can succeed first, and then become reliable partners in Telecom IT services. Wang Haifeng explained that Huawei's strategic planning in cloud computing has a core element of Huawei's corporate culture, which is customer-centric. Our success must come after the success of operators
