DUBAI, UAE, Oct. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

HUAWEI CONNECT Dubai was held in the United Arab Emirates, with more than 3,000

industry stakeholders coming together to discuss around the theme of

"Innovative Infrastructure to Unleash Digital". Representatives from Egypt's

Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, Nigeria's Galaxy Backbone

Limited, Huawei, and other organizations shared their latest digitalization

practices, exploring new paths to industrial digital transformation.

Ken Hu, Huawei's Rotating Chairman, delivered a keynote outlining three ways

the ICT ecosystem can help break through common barriers in digital

transformation:

-Boost digital infrastructure, including more robust connectivity and stronger,

more diverse computing resources.

-Help organizations go beyond simple cloud adoption and truly make the most of

cloud, focusing on advanced technology services that drive leapfrog development.

-Build out local digital ecosystems including partner development,

strengthening the digital talent pool, and providing more support for SMEs.

Steven Yi, President of Huawei Middle East & Africa Area, gave the opening

remark that expressed gratitude to customers and partners for their ongoing

trust, and reaffirmed Huawei's commitment to contributing to local development.

He also talked about three key initiatives of Huawei and its customers and

partners to unleash digital productivity. Together, they work to build a solid

digital foundation for all and reinforce local digital ecosystems to support

the future of digital nations.

Innovative, scenario-based technologies enhance digital infrastructure to

unleash digital productivity

Bob Chen, Vice President of Huawei Enterprise BG, discussed how multi-tech

synergy is critical for finding the right technology for the right scenario. He

explained in his keynote speech "Innovative Digital Infrastructure Accelerates

Digital Transformation" that "Data is at the core of digital transformation,

and data ingestion, transmission, storage, and analysis are key steps. Huawei

provides full-stack products and product portfolios to support end-to-end data

processing, accelerating customers' digital transformation."

In terms of data connectivity, Huawei unveiled NetEngine AR5710, a

hyper-converged gateway that is ideal for small and midsize branches, and

NetEngine 8000 F8, an ultra-compact universal-service aggregation router. These

all-new products are helping lay a solid data foundation to further unleash

digital productivity.

In terms of data transmission, Huawei has been exploring how to apply the fifth

generation fixed network (F5G) evolution across various industries. In

addition, Huawei and a Dubai customer jointly launched a digital pipeline

corridor inspection solution based on the optical fiber sensing technology,

enabling automatic pipeline corridor inspection.

Regarding data storage, Huawei and Commvault, a data management software

company, jointly launched a data protection solution that provides enterprise

customers with secure and reliable data protection from end to end. This helps

create a reliable and efficient storage foundation, allowing enterprises to

maximize the value of data.

Joy Huang, President of Huawei Cloud Strategy & Industry Development, pointed

out that Huawei's approach to digital transformation has three pillars: greener

infrastructure, ongoing innovation, and shared experience. Huawei Cloud aims to

be the best digitalization partner for customers, and is working with partners

and customers to unleash digital with Everything as a Service.

Innovative infrastructure is being deployed in industries to drive industrial

digitalization

At the event, customers from various industries in the Middle East and Africa

also shared their best practices with Huawei in digital transformation.

Dr. Hesham Farouk Ali, Egypt's Assistant Minister of Higher Education and

Scientific Research, said that ICT would make education more people-centric and

accelerate the transformation of both teaching and learning methods. Huawei's

expertise in education and research networks, cloud, and AI is providing key

support and laying groundwork for the digitalization of higher education in

Egypt.

Baffajo Beita, CIO of Galaxy Backbone Limited, stated that Galaxy and Huawei

have been innovating together to help Nigeria build a unified e-government

cloud network, accelerating the government's digitalization and boosting the

country's digital economy.

Huawei Empower Program: building a thriving digital ecosystem for global

partners

At the event, Huawei launched the Huawei Empower Program, which aims to help

develop a thriving digital ecosystem for global partners. Through this program,

Huawei will conduct joint innovation with its partners via OpenLabs, empower

partners with a new framework, a new plan, and an integrated platform, and

create a talent pool through the Huawei ICT Academy and Huawei Authorized

Learning Partner (HALP) programs. Huawei also announced an investment of US$300

million into this program over the next three years to support its global

partners.
