At the annual Huawei Cloud Congress 2014 in Shanghai this week, the vendor outlined its cloud strategy and launched three "flagship solutions": a distributed cloud data center, a cloud operating system and converged storage.
During the two-day event, Huawei launched a series of IT solutions including data centers, converged storage, cloud operating systems (OS) and big data analytics platforms.
One of the flagship solutions unveiled at the event was Huawei's Service Driven-Distributed Cloud Data Center (SD-DC2).
Designed to embody technologies in cloud, big data and data management, the product aims to help enterprises build service-driven IT infrastructure. SD-DC2 is open and interoperable with products from third-party vendors.
SD-DC2 aims to enable efficient operation and management of both traditional and new services, as well as allows more flexible sharing and allocation of IT resources through service awareness.
Huawei is also launching the FusionSphere 5.0 open cloud platform and the OceanStor converged storage system. Both are key components of the SD-DC2 architecture.
Based on OpenStack architecture, Huawei FusionSphere 5.0 cloud OS supports the application of cloud-based carrier services and network functions virtualization (NFV).
Targeted at enterprise and carrier customers, Huawei's cloud OS is designed to help users deploy server virtualization, private cloud, public cloud, and hybrid cloud services on demand.
Since its launch, Huawei has built more than 120 cloud data centers based on the FusionSphere cloud OS in 42 countries and regions for customers across industries, including the public sector, telecom, energy, finance, transportation, healthcare, education, media, and manufacturing sectors.
Converged storage product Huawei OceanStor meanwhile features key convergence capabilities, including supporting equipment from multiple vendors.
