Huawei has launched its “Fusion” strategy for the IT area at the Huawei Cloud Congress 2013 in Shanghai. The global ICT services provider said its new strategy is designed to lay the foundation for an open platform that enables third-party system integration, simple deployment, simple management and simple operation and maintenance of enterprise IT infrastructures.
Eric Xu, Deputy Chairman of Huawei, said that the company will focus on developing and offering future-oriented cloud data center solutions and products, including servers, storage, data center networks, cloud operating systems as well as cloud management platforms. Huawei says it will work closer with its partners across the globe to offer agile technology solutions to its enterprise customers helping them improve business efficiency.
Huawei’s “Fusion” strategy combines an array of IT technologies, including computing, storage, virtualization and data center technologies. At the Huawei Cloud Congress 2013, the company introduced a number of new IT products and solutions designed to support the new strategy. Newly launched products include:
- The world’s first fully-distributed cloud operating system, FusionSphere 3.0
- A high-performance converged all-in-one appliance, FusionCube 2.0
- A converged big data infrastructure platform integrating storage, filing and analysis.
With its “Fusion” strategy, Huawei wants to help enterprises simplify IT deployment and reduce business launch time, as well as to streamline O&M and to reduce TCO.
As of August 2013, Huawei has constructed 330 data centers across the globe, including 70 cloud data centers, and enabled over 260 cloud computing customers around the world to explore the business value of cloud technology. In addition, Huawei deployed the world’s largest desktop cloud system, which supports 100,000 users on simultaneous business operations within the company. Huawei also became the first Chinese vendor to be included in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Blade Servers, as well as its list of global mainstream storage vendors.
