Huawei and Intel to build Public Cloud Solutions for Telecom Carriers

To deliver public cloud solutions for global telecoms carriers, Huawei has announced a strategic collaboration with Intel. By combining Intel’s technology with Huawei’s expertise in global information and communications technology solutions, the companies aim to provide carriers with greater access to high-quality, innovative technologies and solutions as they deliver carrier- grade cloud services to enterprises and individual end-users.

Jason Waxman, Vice-President & General Manager, Cloud Platforms Group, Intel Corporation, said, “Industry collaboration will foster innovation to deliver the latest Cloud technology to Telecommunications Service Providers. Huawei’s efforts with Intel to develop the next- generation FusionSphere products using Intel technology will enable service providers to deliver high-performing, secure and agile cloud services.”

Working together, Huawei and Intel plan to concentrate their efforts on developing scalable, optimized and cost-efficient hardware and software platforms for telecoms carriers to use as they deploy cloud-specific usage models across server, storage, network and infrastructure management technologies. The companies will also drive performance improvements and security enhancements for Huawei’s FusionSphere running on Intel architecture, DPDK, and Open vSwitch. This will increase network virtualization performance of Huawei’s platforms, providing carriers with a robust cloud solution that improves efficiency and management, and lowers the total cost of operation (TCO) as they deploy cloud services and transform their traditional data centers into cloud data centers.
