Huawei, a leading global provider of information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure and smart devices, unveiled its first suite of global scenario-based cloud solutions at the Carrier Cloud Transformation Summit as part of its Win-Win Huawei Innovation Week, which took place last week virtually. The launch comes at a juncture of extensive investments in the cloud space by carriers, as gaps in IT capabilities continue to weigh heavily on their digital transformation ambitions.[1]

As many people know, edge compute servers come in two options: bare metal servers and virtual machines (VMs). Bare metal is a physical server that you rent from a local service provider, while a VM is a virtualized, logical part of a server. Bare metal gives you full control of your instance, while VM requires sharing a tenancy with other VMs on the same machine.[1]

Huawei's Suite of Scenario-Based Cloud Solutions to Speed Up Carrier Cloud Transformation is shown in figure 1. Huawei held the Carrier Cloud Transformation Summit as a highlight of its Win-Win Innovation Week. During the summit keynote entitled Huawei Cloud: Enabling New Growth for Carriers, Director of Huawei Carrier IT Marketing & Solution Sales Chen Xuejun announced Huawei’s first suite of global scenario-based cloud solutions for carriers. These solutions focus on monetizing networks, innovating services, and optimizing operations to help carriers embrace cloud transformation and growth acceleration.

Huawei builds these three factors into its carrier cloud solutions:

First, Network + Cloud expands the scope of network monetization. Huawei’s network insights and cloud-network collaboration solutions enable carriers to expand their service and market boundaries for maximum network value. For enterprise customers in China, Huawei Cloud provides a Cloud + Network + Security deployment solution to expand the coverage of traditional solutions with integrated ICT for a multiplier boost in value.

Second, Service + Cloud accelerates service innovation. Huawei Cloud leverages Huawei’s experience in the telecom industry and its advanced cloud platform capabilities to make carrier development agile and bring innovation faster to market. In Africa, a customer deployed the mobile wallet platform on Huawei Cloud, shortening service rollout from months to weeks. The Huawei Cloud ecosystem further shortened this rollout from months to just one week.

Third, Operation + Cloud drives operations efficiency. Huawei Cloud pre-optimized cloud solution powers basic telecom services, expands the user scale, and catalyzes the continuous growth of main services. An Asian carrier counted that only 10% of its 5G subscribers are using 5G service packages and 5G network coverage. Huawei uses the distributed data lake solution for collaborative analysis of business support system (BSS) data, improving operations efficiency and boosting the marketing conversion for 5G provisioning by 180%.[2]
