4-layer architecture: intelligent interaction, intelligent connection, intelligent hub, and intelligent application

As a reference architecture for intelligent upgrades, the officially released intelligent entity consists of four layers: intelligent interaction, intelligent connection, intelligent hub, and intelligent application, forming an integrated intelligent system that integrates cloud, network, edge, and end collaboration:

Intelligent Upgrade Reference Architecture---Intelligent Agent

l Intelligent interaction: Intelligent interaction is the "five senses" and "hands and feet" of the intelligent body. It connects the physical world and the digital world, allowing software, data, and AI algorithms to flow freely between the cloud, edge, and end. Through the edge-cloud collaborative operating system IEF, intelligent interaction allows the intelligent body to perceive and execute. IEF can connect to various operating systems, such as Hongmeng, so that the Hongmeng ecosystem can also be easily connected to Huawei Cloud.

l Intelligent connection: Intelligent connection is the "trunk" of the intelligent body, connecting the intelligent hub and intelligent interaction. It realizes seamless coverage, interconnection of all things, and application collaboration, data collaboration and organizational collaboration.

l Intelligent hub: The intelligent hub is the "brain" and decision-making system of the intelligent body. Based on cloud infrastructure, it empowers applications, enables data, and supports AI for all scenarios. Hybrid cloud is an ideal foundation for building intelligent upgrades, and AI technology can accelerate innovation in main business processes by accumulating industry knowledge.

l Smart applications: Smart applications are the embodiment of the value of intelligent entities. Through collaborative innovation with customers and partners, we accelerate the deep integration of ICT technology and industry knowledge, reconstruct experience, optimize processes, and enable innovation.

Three key points to building an intelligent entity: hybrid cloud base, AI enablement, and open ecosystem

In his speech, Hou Jinlong, President of Huawei Cloud and Computing BG, also introduced how to build an intelligent entity. Huawei believes that hybrid cloud base, AI enablement and open ecology are the three key points to building an intelligent entity. Cloud and AI are also the core technologies of the intelligent center of the intelligent entity:

l Hybrid cloud base: With the intelligent upgrade of the industry, many customers hope to have a wealth of high-end services, support local deployment and meet the habits of enterprise operation and maintenance, and ensure data security and compliance, but traditional private cloud and pure public cloud solutions cannot fully meet the needs. Hybrid cloud can truly meet the needs of government and enterprises and build an ideal base for intelligent upgrades. Huawei Cloud's hybrid cloud solution synchronizes public cloud capabilities and can be deployed locally. From resource mixing to capability integration, it matches the organizational structure and business processes of government and enterprises, and realizes a cloud from the user's perspective.

l AI enablement: AI enablement is the core of intelligent entities, and Huawei Cloud makes AI application development easier. To truly implement AI technology and bring high value to all walks of life, the key is the deep integration of AI and industry knowledge. Huawei Cloud has released a full-life cycle knowledge computing solution based on the AI ​​development platform ModelArts, enabling enterprises to build knowledge computing platforms, extract, express, and collaboratively calculate knowledge through a series of AI technologies, and then generate more accurate models and methods to empower machines and people, realizing the efficient combination of AI and industry knowledge, and promoting AI into the core business systems of enterprises.

l Open ecosystem: To achieve the goal of full-scenario intelligence through intelligent entities, a prosperous ecosystem of symbiosis, co-creation, and sharing is the key. The intelligent upgrade of thousands of industries has led to the SaaS and service-oriented software. Huawei Cloud is positioned as a neutral cloud service provider and is committed to building Huawei Cloud into the best SaaS service development and operation platform, helping partners achieve business success, and reshaping the sustainable development of the software and service industry.

Shenzhen and Huawei jointly announced the construction of the Pengcheng Intelligent Body, which has been put into practice and explored in thousands of industries

Intelligent upgrading determines the future core competitiveness of enterprises, and thousands of industries are accelerating intelligent upgrading.

At the meeting, Shenzhen and Huawei announced the joint launch of the construction of Pengcheng Intelligent Body. Based on "data", Pengcheng Intelligent Body will integrate new generation information technologies such as 5G, cloud computing, Internet of Things, big data, artificial intelligence, blockchain, etc., build a series of projects of "data base, data network, data hub, data brain, and data body", create a data-driven, city-level integrated intelligent collaborative system with deep learning capabilities, and build Shenzhen into a model city of "Digital China".
