In 2018, Huawei invites ecosystem partners to jointly stimulate the unlimited potential of the ecosystem

[51CTO.com original article] At 9:30 am on March 22, "Gathering and Prospering - Σco-XA, Huawei China Eco Partner Conference 2018" kicked off on time at Qingdao International Convention and Exhibition Center. Because we arrived early, the reporter did not witness the grand scene of "guests flocking" on the traffic roads around the venue. I heard that due to road construction, there were so many participants that traffic control had to be implemented. But from this point of view, the fact that more than 15,000 participants gathered in Qingdao is more like "being attracted" than "showing support" for Huawei.

Huawei has gathered so many partners in the industry. What exactly does it want to convey? This may be a question mark that everyone asked before the opening. As expected, at the beginning, Cai Yinghua, President of Huawei EBG China, proposed that the ICT ecosystem is beginning to move towards a new era, which Huawei defines as the "Ecological Era". In the new Ecological Era, Huawei will adopt multiple incentive measures and invite partners to create exponential prosperity together.

Go surfing! The ICT boom is coming!

The reporter believes that many phenomena in 2017 have already indicated that a high-explosion period of ICT applications is coming. Huawei urgently hopes that partners can seize this opportunity to make the ecosystem more robust. According to the Gartner technology maturity curve in 2017, various emerging technologies such as cloud computing, Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence will mature and explode in 2-5 years. In 2017, the total output value of my country's Internet of Things industry has reached 930 billion yuan, NB-IoT has begun large-scale commercial use, and the scale of base stations has reached 500,000. It is expected that in 2018, the Internet of Things will penetrate into vertical industries and be widely used in multiple fields such as Internet of Vehicles, smart cities, and industrial control. At the same time, the cloud will penetrate into the industry, and enterprises will become the protagonists of cloudization. In 2017, video cloud, financial cloud, urban rail cloud, etc. have concentratedly exploded, and cloud has become the basic platform for digital transformation in various industries. Artificial intelligence has moved from theoretical research to commercialization and evolved into enterprise intelligence. In 2018, artificial intelligence will be more closely integrated with vertical industries and more scenario-based.

The times and opportunities are powerful, but you also need the strength to seize them. For this reason, Cai Yinghua emphasized that Huawei, which has accumulated many years of experience in the ICT field, not only continues to invest heavily in technology, resources, and service platforms, but also takes it as its mission to build a good ecological enabling platform and create a good ecological fertile soil. He called on ecological partners to act together to provide customers with a variety of compound capabilities such as strategic planning, business innovation, market expansion, and management improvement in the "+ Ecosystem" model, helping customers better cope with uncertain markets, win cross-border competition, and achieve continuous growth in business value, ultimately forming an exponential prosperity of the ecosystem and a win-win "Ecological Era".

The key to a robust ecosystem: Huawei, partners, and users can all benefit from cooperation

So what is the attitude of partners towards Huawei's call? During two days of intensive media interviews, reporters found that partners not only responded positively, but more partners already had very clear plans on how to cooperate with Huawei, in which direction to cooperate, and what kind of solutions to develop to meet user needs.

Dong Quanwu, deputy general manager of Beijing Xin Ao Te Cloud Vision Technology Co., Ltd., said that their cooperation with Huawei is gradually deepening step by step. Initially, Xin Ao Te and Huawei's cooperation was mainly focused on the IaaS layer to the PaaS layer, providing users with basic services such as live video, on-demand and network switching. Later, together with Huawei, they began to try to combine the various applications they had previously made in the media cloud with media scenarios from the SaaS level, and deploy them in the Huawei Cloud Market to provide customers with SaaS services, which received very good responses. "We will continue to maintain cooperation with Huawei at all levels." Dong Quanwu told reporters that in the era of converged media, both traditional media and Internet media will produce massive amounts of content, which requires a huge public cloud architecture to support. At the same time, the personalized and fragmented needs of the media will definitely be inseparable from AI and more computing power in the future. Therefore, cooperation with ICT manufacturers such as Huawei will surely open up a more promising future.

Yitu Technology is also a partner that has benefited from Huawei's "black soil". In the cooperation between the two parties, Huawei provides more powerful computing power and faster computing speed at the bottom layer. On this powerful foundation, Yitu Technology can give full play to its world-leading artificial intelligence algorithms and computer image recognition technologies, so that data can generate real value. At present, relying on Yitu Technology and Huawei's video cloud image solution, public security customers can return results in seconds when implementing billion-level data retrieval and comparison, with a false alarm rate as low as one in ten billion, and are widely used in various scenarios including public safety and campus security. In the construction of future smart cities and safe cities, it will be even more powerful.

Lv Hao, Chief Innovation Officer of Yitu Technology, said: "Huawei is a world-leading information and communications solutions provider, and Yitu has world-leading artificial intelligence technology and algorithm capabilities. Looking back on our past cooperation experience, we have a deep understanding of industry challenges and jointly promoted product innovation, which has increased the competitiveness of our products and provided our common end customers with the best technology and services."

There is still a long way to go for Huawei and its partners to cooperate, but at least, the confidence and determination of both sides to cooperate are honest enough. During the break between meetings on the second afternoon, the reporter strolled around the venue. When he walked to the parking lot of the venue, he was a little surprised to see a fleet of nearly 100 buses, all of which were named after Huawei's partners. By observing the signs inside the bus, the reporter secretly counted them: six from Nanjing, four from Xinjiang, five from Jiangxi, and four from Anhui... It seems that the saying "We all come from all corners of the country, and we have come together for a common revolutionary goal." Next, we will walk together, walk very far, and walk for a long, long time...
