Huawei's new ICT empowers enterprises to actively embrace digital transformation

[51CTO.com original article] Huawei's 16th Global Analyst Conference was held in Shenzhen, China from April 16 to 18, 2019. At the Enterprise Business Forum on the afternoon of the first day of the conference, "How Huawei's Enterprise Business Helps the Digital Transformation of Various Industries" became the most popular topic.

Qiu Heng, President of Huawei Enterprise BG Global Marketing, made it clear in his keynote speech "New ICT: Intelligence, Connection, Platform" that the goal of Huawei's enterprise business is to build a foundation for the entire digital world. To this end, Huawei has redefined ICT, where I stands for intelligence, C stands for connection, and T stands for digital platform. This goal is achieved by providing ubiquitous connectivity, pervasive intelligence, and a digital platform. Qiu Heng also revealed that Huawei's enterprise business BG's revenue target in 2023 is US$150 billion.

Intelligence + Connectivity + Digital Platform = The Foundation of the Digital World

At the scene, Qiu Heng analyzed in detail the "three horses" that Huawei has carefully prepared to build the foundation of the digital world.

The first is to provide pervasive intelligence. In terms of products, Huawei has built AI chips into all its devices; in terms of industry applications, Huawei uses cloud services + AI, industry solutions + AI to enable application scenarios such as smart cities, smart parks, and smart transportation.

The second is ubiquitous connectivity. Huawei's network connectivity capabilities are obvious to all. In enterprise networks, data centers, metropolitan area networks, backbone networks, and even 5G, WiFi, Ethernet, PLC, and Elte, Huawei has the world's most comprehensive connectivity solutions. In the future, Huawei may be the only one that can provide ubiquitous connectivity in enterprise scenarios.

***, technology and products alone are not enough. Customers do not have the ability to integrate all technologies together, so Huawei has built a digital platform for enterprise customers. Based on the cloud, it integrates various new ICT technologies, fuses data, supports rapid application development, enables agile business innovation, and achieves collaborative optimization of cloud, pipe and terminal through ubiquitous connections, thereby connecting the physical world with the digital world and supporting the successful digital transformation of customers.

Currently, more than 700 cities around the world, 211 of the Fortune Global 500 and 48 of the top 100 companies have chosen Huawei as their partner for digital transformation.

Four new products create the best voice in the ICT industry

Every year, Huawei's Global Analyst Conference is the stage for Huawei to launch its most cutting-edge products, and this year is no exception. Qiu Heng was at the scene and launched Huawei's latest products, especially for the previously mentioned intelligence and connectivity.

In the field of intelligence, he first introduced the world's first software-defined AI camera, and emphasized that Huawei's mobile phone camera function is not only good, but also enterprise-level camera function is stronger. The AI ​​camera is equipped with Huawei's Acend310 chip, which has four times the computing performance of the industry, and the image processing performance is 25 times stronger than traditional cameras.

Then Qiu Heng launched another storage product. Relying on intelligent capabilities, Huawei's all-flash OceanStor Dorado achieved the world's fastest speed. How did Huawei do it? Simply put, Huawei's own designed chips can improve network transmission and storage speeds and reduce latency. Coupled with Huawei's unique algorithms, OceanStor Dorado has the fastest speed, leaving its peers behind.

In the field of connectivity, Qiu Heng also highlighted the examples of AirEngine, the Wi-Fi6 AP supported by Huawei's 5G technology, and CloudEngine, the fastest data center network switch in the AI ​​era.

Many people don't know that many Huawei employees serve as chairmen of the Wi-Fi 6 standard working group and the WiFi standard group. Huawei has long been trying to apply 5G technology to the WiFi industry. Through such innovations, the speed and number of users of Wi-Fi 6 can be increased by 4 times compared to traditional WiFi, and the latency can be reduced from 30 milliseconds to 10 milliseconds. "While other companies are still talking about Wi-Fi 6, Huawei has already put it into commercial use. Currently, Huawei has deployed Wi-Fi 6 in more than 8 commercial nodes, and the shipment volume has reached 6,000. At a node in Shanghai, the original concurrent capacity for a single-point AP was only 60, but now it has exceeded 240, and the performance has been greatly improved."

As for the CloudEngine, another data center network switch released, it is worthy of the title of the world's fastest. Huawei has built-in Ascend 310 chips in the device, coupled with AI algorithms, to create a lossless and packet loss-free network, while the speed is 30% faster than the conventional market speed. "Due to its strong performance, Huawei's equipment is more space-saving with the same performance, which can save 320,000 kWh of electricity expenditure per year."

Huawei's new ICT allows users to not be afraid of transformation

What value does Huawei's new ICT bring to users? This question can only be answered objectively by enterprise users themselves. At the Global Analyst Conference, a spokesperson took the initiative to share the benefits that Huawei's new ICT has brought to enterprise transformation.

Li Xuewen, assistant general manager of Vanke Group's Vanke Technology Co., Ltd., shared his Vanke story at the conference. He said that as a provider of urban and rural construction and life services, Vanke had too little customer data, too few customer touchpoints, and too low a frequency of contact in the same business format in the past, and could not achieve data-driven business. However, through cooperation with Huawei in smart parks, and using the digital platform provided by Huawei that includes technologies such as big data, the Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence, Vanke's digital smart park has achieved multiple offline business formats and one Vanke online, with functional service, service product, product platform, and platform ecosystem. "The construction has just begun. In the future, we still hope to move forward with Huawei to turn digital demands into services and provide them to customers."

In addition to Li Xuewen, Chen Dongping, director of the Shenzhen Smart City Big Data Research Institute, also affirmed the value of Huawei's digital platform from the government's perspective. He believes that Huawei's digital platform enables better communication and interaction between hardware and software, software and software, and hardware and hardware, thereby helping government organizations to better link and cooperate within the organization. "In the digital platform, government agencies can sort out the independent chimney-like structures of the past, build a digital government, and provide unified and comprehensive services to the public."

In 2019, the ultimate mission of Huawei's enterprise department is to bring digital to every organization and build a fully connected world. We have reason to believe that in the future wave of digital transformation, Huawei's new ICT will surely enable more companies to benefit from the transformation.
