Huawei is planning to build a "Huawei Kunpeng Ecology" based on "Kunpeng + Ascend", in which it will invest $1.5 billion in the next five years, Cao Zejun, Huawei's Vice President of China, said on December 20.
He said that in the past 30 years, Huawei has been doing basic R&D in the field of ICT (Information and Communication Technology), and has gone through a long process of accumulation in terms of algorithms, computing power, materials, chips, aesthetics, craftsmanship, and design capabilities.
"Today, in the 5G era, Huawei has achieved a comprehensive lead and a breakthrough in computing." Cao Zejun said that in the past, the computing industry around the world was built on Intel, Nvidia, and Oracle systems, but today changes are happening.
"ZTE and Huawei incidents respectively exposed the two major shortcomings of the communications industry chip and software." Ni Guangnan, an academician at the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said In May this year.
At present, Huawei has developed an operating system. But network information technology must have both a technical system and an ecosystem support.
The technology gap is not much worse, and the key is ecology. Because operating systems like Android and Microsoft have accumulated millions of apps that can meet the needs of billions of users and form a million-scale ecosystem.
For latecomers like Huawei, this is exactly the shortcoming that needs to be filled.
Cao Zejun said that the two foundations of the intelligent world are connectivity and computing. 5G connects everything in the world. Huawei fully supports Chinese operators to build the best 5G network and make connections everywhere. At the same time, computing power makes the world smarter. Huawei provides the world with stronger computing power and makes everything smarter.
He believes that 5G networks allow intelligence to extend to the cloud, end, and edge and reach thousands of industries.
Kunpeng computing industry is a full-stack IT infrastructure, industry applications and services built on Kunpeng processors, including PCs, servers, storage, operating systems, middleware, virtualization, databases, cloud services, industry applications, and consulting management services.
