Keynote Speech by Yang Chaobin, Director and President of ICT Products and Solutions at Huawei
Seizing the Great Opportunities, Building the Next-Generation Smart Infrastructure Together
As artificial intelligence continues to rapidly evolve and integrate into various industries, the digital transformation across myriad sectors has now gained the wings of intelligence, shifting comprehensively towards a path of digital intelligence. Yang Chaobin, Director and President of ICT Products and Solutions at Huawei, stated in his keynote speech titled "Seizing the Great Opportunities, Building the Next-Generation Smart Infrastructure Together" that industries are currently accelerating towards intelligence, and amidst this complexity, Huawei is collaborating with partners not only to propose an "Industry Intelligent Reference Architecture" from a systems engineering perspective but also focusing on product technology, delving deep into core technology, fostering ecological development, collaborating with partners, and driving accelerated business growth.
Addressing the demand for upgrading to a smart campus with a capacity of ten thousand gigabits, Huawei aims for comprehensive smartness by adapting to various scenarios and creating a full range of product combination solutions. This aims to enhance product competitiveness and marketability comprehensively. In collaboration with system integration partners, solution development partners, business operation partners, and distribution partners, Huawei endeavors to enhance user office experiences, innovate solutions, shift from "selling devices" to "selling services," accelerate the digitization of various campuses, and make the world of digital intelligence within reach.
Building upon high-quality ten thousand gigabit campuses, Huawei is laying a solid foundation with Kunpeng and Ascend. Currently, Kunpeng and Ascend have gradually become the preferred computing power for digital transformation and upgrading. The native development ecosystem is thriving. At the application level, AI large models are accelerating from model training to inference deployment, entering a stage of application innovation. Particularly, Ascend inference solutions are assisting partner applications to go online with high quality, accelerating the landing of intelligent industries in terms of hardware, basic software, and application enablement.
To address challenges such as high thresholds for enterprise AI applications, complex system construction, and long data preparation times, Huawei officially released the FusionCube A3000 Training Inference Hyper-Converged Appliance during the conference. It features full-stack private domain deployment, low-threshold rapid innovation, precise real-time modeling, enterprise-based data, and platform ease of maintenance. By delivering large models in one cabinet, it reduces the threshold for deploying and using AI large models.
Yang Chaobin emphasized that Huawei will focus on its expertise in product technology, deepen core technologies, and simultaneously develop the ecological environment, aggregating partners, achieving synergistic cooperation, and mutual growth, thereby winning new opportunities in the intelligent era.
Unveiling Groundbreaking New Products to Accelerate Industry Digitization Upgrades
At the conference, Huawei not only introduced upgrades for smart campuses and computing power but also focused on areas such as data communications, storage, and optical networks, bringing upgrade recommendations and groundbreaking releases.
Under the theme "Building Net5.5G New Foundation Together, Creating New Growth in the Smart Era," Wang Lei, President of Huawei's Data Communication Product Line, stated that industries are accelerating towards the intelligent era. Huawei's data communication is committed to helping partners seize opportunities and achieve commercial success quickly. The newly created Net5.5G Intelligent Cloud Network Solution, with its high-quality ten thousand gigabit campuses, integrated wide-area networks, data center networks with Star AI, and HiSec SASE, constructs a new foundation for the smart era network, working with leading partners to create new value in the world of digital intelligence.
Focused on the theme "In the Era of Data Awakening, Creating a New Future for the Data Storage Industry Together," Zhou Yuefeng, President of Huawei's Data Storage Product Line, stated that in the AI era, with data awakening, building a leading data infrastructure that is "storage-powered computing, storage-powered training, and storage-powered security" is essential, collaborating with partners to create a new future for the data storage industry.
Under the theme "Seizing the New Opportunities of 'Three Ins and Three Outs' in the All-Optical Network, Building a New Future for Industry Digitization Together," Chen Banghua, President of Huawei's Optical Product Line, stated that facing the new opportunities brought by "optics in, copper out," "optics in, electricity out," and "optics in, personnel out," Huawei is creating leading products and solutions in the optical industry, working with partners to jointly explore the new space of hundreds of billions brought by all-optical campuses, all-optical bearing, and intelligent perception, accelerating the industry's digitalization upgrade.
Building Solution Competitiveness Together, Winning New Opportunities in the World of Digital Intelligence Together
In addition to the groundbreaking new products, Huawei also brought innovative industry solutions. Guo Zhenxing, Vice President of Huawei's China Enterprise Business, stated in his keynote speech titled "Building Solution Competitiveness Together, Winning New Opportunities in the World of Digital Intelligence Together" that by seizing the three major opportunities of industry digitization, intelligence, and independent innovation, Huawei, with the industry intelligent architecture as a blueprint and AI as the core, collaborates with partners to create solutions for eight major industries, fully unleashing new productivity in industry digitization.
Huawei aims to build six capabilities with partners: observing (observing customer business architecture and defining technical architecture), building (building digital, intelligent, and innovative capabilities), creating (joint innovation of customer, Huawei, and partner solutions), expanding (expanding sales solutions), using (helping customers continuously utilize intelligent platforms), and feedback (feedback on value needs). At the same time, Huawei will vigorously develop alliance-level partners, sailing with partners, coexisting in capabilities, and synthesizing combat, to achieve value expansion and benefit sharing.
Finally, several partners of Huawei shared exciting stories under the theme "My Cooperation Story with Huawei," discussing how Huawei helps partners break through, how to build a "partner + Huawei" system, and how to achieve performance growth, thereby confirming Huawei's confidence in jointly winning the future of digital intelligence with partners.
With the flourishing development of the digital economy, the acceleration of digitization across various industries will continue, bringing both challenges and opportunities in a vast space of value. Looking ahead, Huawei will uphold the core concept of "Born for Aggregation, Smartness Awaits," continuously strengthen the "partner + Huawei" system, deepen the depth and breadth of cooperation with millions of partners, rely on new products and solutions to assist customers in accelerating digitization transformation and upgrading, and ultimately achieve the grand vision of creating new value in the world of digital intelligence through co-creation and sharing.
