As Africa’s industries increasingly embrace cloud adoption and intelligent transformation, Huawei Cloud is stepping up efforts to tackle emerging challenges and accelerate digitalization across the continent. This was the key message conveyed by Bai Yan, Vice President of Huawei Cloud for the Southern Africa Region, during the “Africa Industry Digitalization” event.
Bai Yan noted that as industry customers advance in their digital journeys, they face several obstacles, including unexpected issues with submarine optical cables, inefficient methods of acquiring cloud resources, and data sovereignty concerns. To address these challenges, Huawei Cloud Stack offers three significant strengths: on-premises, reliable, and secure cloud infrastructure; an extensive suite of over 110 cloud services; and a diversified partner ecosystem.
“Huawei Cloud Stack helps them address these challenges with three strengths. It provides on-premises, reliable and secure cloud infrastructure, as well as offers an extensive suite of over 110 cloud services—unmatched in the industry—alongside a diversified partner ecosystem. All these are designed to help government and enterprise customers in Africa accelerate industry intelligence,” said Yan.
Huawei Cloud is keen to enhance cooperation with industry customers and partners to develop scenario-specific solutions tailored to African industry needs and foster a thriving local digital ecosystem. Xiao Yi, President of Huawei Cloud’s Global Ecosystem Solution Department, emphasized the rapid growth of digital transformation and the dawn of an intelligence era.
“Digital transformation is currently experiencing exponential growth. We are stepping into the era of intelligence. Huawei Cloud looks forward to joining hands with African partners to build a new foundation for an intelligent world, develop digital solutions, and reshape industries with intelligence,” said Xiao Yi.
Huawei Cloud Stack, with its innovative technologies and a broad array of industry-specific solutions, serves over 5,500 government and enterprise customers globally, leading in markets such as hybrid cloud in China and the emerging Asia-Pacific region. Moving forward, Huawei Cloud aims to continue driving innovation, expanding industry expertise, and developing more customer-centric services to help African customers better adopt, utilize, and manage cloud solutions.
Huawei Cloud’s commitment to Africa includes unlocking new opportunities in industry intelligence and creating an intelligent future in collaboration with local partners.
