Leading New ICT, Empowering New Industrial Revolution

Disruptive technologies, such as IoT, cloud, and big data, are accelerating

digital transformation and will drive the development of businesses and society

in the next 10 years.

At a keynote speech titled "Leading New ICT, Empowering New Industrial

Revolution", Mr. Yan Lida, President of Enterprise Business Group, Huawei,

commented, "To compete successfully today, enterprises need real-time business

and analysis platforms to drive digital transformation. New ICT technologies

including IoT, cloud, and big data will become central to business production

systems, enabling this transformation. Based on innovations featuring

cloud-pipe-device integration, Huawei is committed to building an open,

flexible and secure platform to help customers develop applications tailored to

their actual business needs. The platform also helps build a sustainable and

win-win ecosystem."

Mr. Yan also reaffirmed Huawei's commitment to collaborative innovations and

fostering the development of a healthy cloud ecosystem in Japan. He said, "We

are focused on enabling our Japan customers, partners and employees to embrace

leading new ICT innovation to accelerate digital transformation and foster the

development of a strong cloud ecosystem."

Building a Healthy Cloud Ecosystem with ICT Leaders in Japan

At the event, Huawei held joint activities with industry partners and academics

to share insights and best practices on building a healthy and win-win cloud

ecosystem. In particular, Professor Ezaki Hiroshi of University of Tokyo and

Professor Nakamura Osamu of Keio University shared their views on accelerating

the development and deployment of SDN and cloud.

The evolution of traditional enterprise IT architecture into cloud-based

architecture requires collaborative efforts among stakeholders in the ICT

industry to build an open ecosystem. During this year's Interop Tokyo, Huawei

cooperated with Interop Tokyo Committee and WIDE Project to host the first

Tokyo Cloud Congress which brought together leading industry players to discuss

future trends and share best practices on cloud migration.
