BANGKOK, Sept. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

HUAWEI CONNECT 2022 kicked off in Bangkok on September 19. At the Huawei Cloud

Summit themed "Inspire Innovation with Everything as a Service", Zeng Xingyun,

President of Huawei Cloud APAC, William Fang, Chief Product Officer of Huawei

Cloud, and customers and partners delivered keynote speeches. During the event,

Huawei Cloud released the Cloud Native 2.0 Architecture White Paper and

launched Cloud Native Elite Club (CNEC) APAC together with Cloud Native

Computing Foundation (CNCF). To accelerate the digital transformation in the

Asia Pacific, Huawei Cloud proposed three initiatives: acting with strategic

resolve, embracing cloud native, and cultivating digital talent.

In his keynote speech, Mr. Zeng said that going cloud native is to think cloud

native, act cloud native. Huawei, together with its customers and partners,

will witness a leapfrog growth in digital transformation powered by cloud

native in APAC. Adhering to the approach of "by local, for local", Huawei Cloud

will promote the digital industry of the Asia Pacific by strengthening

investment in infrastructure, professional B2B services, partner ecosystem,

developer services, and startup support.

Huawei Cloud has already set up 13 localized service centers in the Asia

Pacific, with more than 1,000 certified engineers to provide tailored services.

In addition, ecosystem development has been fruitful, with more than 2,500

local partners generating more than 50% of the revenue of Huawei Cloud. Huawei

Cloud is also forging ahead with industry-government-academia collaboration in

the Asia Pacific. Investment in the Huawei ASEAN Academy and the Seeds for the

Future Program will be used to cultivate more than 1 million digital experts

over the next five years.

As a cloud native pioneer, Huawei Cloud serves 80% of the 50 best Internet

companies in China and more than 200 major Internet companies in the Asia

Pacific. In Sarawak, Malaysia, Huawei Cloud, together with its partners, has

built cloud native infrastructure to support the collaboration of more than 30

government departments in five fields, and provided more than 80 digital

government and smart city services to ensure more efficient and better-informed

decision-making. In Indonesia, Huawei Cloud has provided a unified data

foundation to help CT Corp migrate its media, retail, and finance services to

the cloud, enabling precise recommendations for 200 million Internet users. The

cloud native technologies of Huawei Cloud have helped Siam Commercial Bank

(SCB) in Thailand quickly roll out its digital loan service. Loan approval and

issuance, which used to take one month of work, is now fully automated and can

be completed in just five minutes.

William reaffirmed Huawei Cloud's commitment to thinking and acting cloud

native and adhering to its Everything-as-a-Service strategy. The ultimate goal

is to offer full-stack cloud native capabilities to customers. The four

pipelines and more than 10 products unveiled at this year's HUAWEI CONNECT,

such as CCE Turbo (the next-gen container engine) and UCS (a service for

ubiquitous cloud native), will be rolled out in the Asia Pacific and go global.

In the future, Huawei Cloud will go beyond to breathe new life into cloud

native infrastructure, cloud native application development, and data-AI

convergence. This summit also saw Huawei Cloud release the Cloud Native 2.0

Architecture White Paper, which looks to help customers evolve and advance

towards the digital transformation of tomorrow.

To accelerate the digitalization of the Asia Pacific with cloud native, Huawei

Cloud joined hands with CNCF and technology pioneers to launch CNEC APAC. CNEC

has contributed to the popularization and maturity of cloud native technologies

in China over the past two years. CNEC APAC will gather the greatest cloud

native minds in the region and have them focus on the digital transformation of

local enterprises. It is a platform for exchanging cloud native experiences so

that more organizations can dive deeper into the forefront of cloud native

technologies and better use cloud native. The exchange of ideas will create

more opportunities for cloud native to empower industry innovations, breaking a

new path for the digitalization in the Asia Pacific.

William said that Huawei Cloud will continue to innovate full-stack

technologies to pioneer the cloud native field, enable industries through

Infrastructure as a Service, Technology as a Service, and Expertise as a

Service, and unleash digital productivity with Everything as a Service.
