[51CTO.com original article] Although the 2017 Huawei Global Analyst Conference just ended not long ago, many of the views shared by Huawei's senior executives at the conference are still very rewarding. From the first 50 people in 2004 to the current 500 people, elite industry analysts from around the world, and experts from the communications, Internet, and finance industries gathered together to discuss the path of digital development under the trend of the cloud era.

Huawei's Rotating CEO Eric Xu

Huawei's rotating CEO Eric Xu made an opening speech at the conference and explained the company's strategy: "The journey to a smart society has already begun. Years of exploration and technological innovation have provided strong impetus for the development of the industry and created huge business opportunities. Huawei adheres to the strategy of making more connections, expanding pipelines, and enabling industry digitalization, focusing on ICT infrastructure and smart terminals, and being an enabler and promoter of a smart society. In addition, we believe that cloud services have become a basic business model. Starting in 2017, Huawei took the public cloud as an opportunity to invest heavily in building an open and trusted public cloud platform and building the "Huawei Cloud Family". The public cloud that cooperates with operators and Huawei's public cloud are all members of this family."

Xu Wenwei, Executive Director and President of Strategic Marketing, Huawei

In the following speech, Xu Wenwei, Executive Director and President of Strategic Marketing of Huawei, gave a further explanation. He said that ICT is rapidly driving the digital upgrade of vertical industries, which will inevitably lead to an explosive growth in the amount of data. By 2025, the amount of data generated and stored globally is expected to reach 180ZB, a 150-fold increase compared to 2010.

The digitalization of various industries contains huge digital dividends. It not only provides new business opportunities and efficiency improvements for millions of companies, but also puts forward more and higher requirements for the digital infrastructure of "end, pipe and cloud", and also brings huge development opportunities to the ICT industry.

In this trend, Huawei has realized that cloud services have become the foundation for digital transformation of operators and all walks of life. Huawei has also followed this trend and established the Cloud BU. "We will invest heavily in building an open public cloud platform and work with partners to build a cloud ecosystem. By helping operators to cloudify their networks and services, we will work with operators to serve a large number of industry customers and the digital transformation of the industry in the form of cloud services," Xu Wenwei revealed.

Telecom operators have always been a market that Huawei values ​​very much. Xu Wenwei said that Huawei is willing to help operators realize the full cloudification of networks, operations, and services. On the basis of digitalization, we will give full play to the pipeline advantages of operators, open up new markets, and achieve new growth: on the one hand, we will help operators develop video services and seize the trillion-dollar video market; at the same time, we will enable the digitalization of vertical industries in the form of cloud services, provide computing, storage, networking, enterprise communications, enterprise connectivity, and IoT services to enterprise and government customers, and participate in the 15 trillion-dollar industry digitalization market in the next decade.

Ding Yun, Executive Director and President of Products and Solutions, Huawei

At the event, Huawei Executive Director and President of Products and Solutions Ding Yun pointed out that at the 2016 Global Analyst Conference, Huawei proposed to be the advocate, promoter and leader of "full cloudification". This year, Huawei will continue to promote its implementation and enable commercial realization. In addition, facing the trillion-dollar video market, Huawei is committed to becoming an enabler of the commercial success of operators and industry customers. The implementation of full cloudification and video strategy requires healthy ecological support. Huawei is willing to open its mind and work with partners to promote the construction of a new ICT industry ecosystem.

At the end of the ***, Ding Yun concluded that first of all, full cloudification is no longer an option, but a must. In his words, "embracing cloudification is urgent." Secondly, the video strategy is now, not in the future. This is a trillion-dollar market that needs to be explored. ***He emphasized that building an ecosystem is about vision, not emotion. Feelings are centered on oneself, while vision is for the world. "Huawei hopes to build a better fully connected world with all industry partners through cloud strategy, video strategy, and ecosystem strategy."

The reporter believes that it is a consensus among global customers and manufacturers to seek value from the cloud. Huawei is aware of this, so it is uniting more ecological partners with an open mind and calling on partners with consensus to join the cloud journey. It must be admitted that both industrial cooperation and ecological construction are guiding the cloud to release more value. The reporter also looks forward to seeing Huawei shine in the cloud blueprint and let the cloud bring more surprises to the global digital transformation.
