Founded in 1987, Huawei is a leading global provider of information and communications

partners, and startups.
■
  Cultivating talent with universities: Huawei teamed 
up with China’s Ministry of Education to build an 
Intelligent Center, which is a joint business-academia 
initiative. Dozens of universities have joined the 
program. To make sure that the instructors had the 
necessary skills, we rolled out advanced training 
classes in comprehensive computer skills.
■
  Empowering developers: Through development 
suites, developer communities, training courses, and 
technical salons, Huawei helps developers quickly 
and easily develop applications and improve their 
skills. As of December 2020, there were 1.6 million 
HUAWEI CLOUD developers and over 430,000 
Kunpeng and Ascend developers.
■
  Enabling partners: HUAWEI CLOUD has brought 
together over 19,000 partners and certified 
thousands of partner solutions using Kunpeng and 
Ascend. In the software domain, we continued 
to update open-source versions of openEuler, 
openGauss, and openLooKeng, helping partners 
to launch their commercial releases. In terms of 
hardware, we made Kunpeng motherboards open 
architecture so that our partners can develop 
their own servers and PCs based on Kunpeng 
motherboards.
■
  Supporting startups: We have established 
relationships with hundreds of startups and 
provided free cloud resources or technical support 
to enterprises.
native storage services and traditional storage. The 
solution will help industry partners take another 
step towards all-scenario intelligence and multi-
cloud convergence.
We have continued to optimize our OceanStor 
all-flash storage and data protection solution, so 
that flash storage can be effectively applied in all 
data center scenarios, including core transactions, 
virtualization, and data protection. Powered by the 
innovative NVMe over Fabrics (NoF) plus  
end-to-end acceleration, this next-generation  
high-performance storage solution makes an  
all-IP-based data center network possible. The 
highly automated data management solution 
allows our customers to build storage resource 
pools, improves resource efficiency from 40% 
to 70%, and raises O&M efficiency by a factor 
of three to five. Intelligent O&M of data center 
storage is another benefit, meaning that customers 
can build high-performance, energy-saving, secure, 
and reliable all-flash data centers.
For high-value unstructured data scenarios that 
require high-performance computing (HPC), we 
launched the OceanStor Pacific series. Featuring 
an all-flash design and new high-performance 
hardware, the series delivers high bandwidth and 
throughput. In addition, the hybrid parallel NAS 
file systems that support uncompromised, multi-
protocol interworking can accelerate the evolution 
from traditional HPC to high-performance data 
analytics.
Huawei OceanStor data storage has been used 
in many areas, including oil and gas exploration, 
digital preservation of cultural heritage, and 
intelligent credit card systems for banks. It provides 
the data infrastructure on which industries can 
undergo digital transformation faster.

  Intelligent collaboration solutions: 
Facilitating communication, decision making, 
and innovation for industries
HUAWEI IdeaHub: Designed for office and team 
collaboration, the solution can be used for both 
digital office and digital production. As a business 
communication and decision-making center, 
HUAWEI IdeaHub facilitates communication 
between employees and organizations and solves 
common office communication issues. It can also 
be integrated into enterprise IT systems so that 
management can make better business decisions 
collaboratively and remotely.
