Huawei is also the first in the industry to propose a "business-driven cloud data center" solution.

Xu Wenwei explained that "business-driven cloud data center" appears to be a slogan, in fact, behind the condensation of computing, storage, cloud platform and other capabilities. And Huawei can be the first in the industry, the reason is that: First, Huawei's product line is very long, basically all kinds of products have; second, Huawei adhere to the platform strategy, while the rest of the industry are mainly taken to acquire, The way to integrate.
