Huawei talks up cloud ambition, rides IoT elevators with Schindler
SHANGHAI, CHINA--Huawei wants to play a role in providing the infrastructure it believes is necessary to facilitate an "intelligent" world, one that is driven by devices, connectivity, and cloud.Senior executives from the Chinese networking equipment maker talked up the importance of cloud in enterprises' digital transformation, pointing to its role in the success of companies such as Google, Amazon Web Services, Didi Chuxing, and Airbnb.Speaking at the Huawei Connect 2016 conference held here this week, the vendor's rotating CEO Ken Hu noted that cloud had changed business models and helped drive innovation, positive user experience, and cost savings.

You all know about the cloud right?Of course you do, it's been around in some shape or form for years now and continues to be one of the most widely used buzzwords in tech.New businesses are now born in the cloud and older organisations are migrating at a rapid pace in order to keep up.
China's Huawei eyes US$10b business in cloud infrastructure and services
Huawei Technologies, the world's largest telecommunications equipment supplier, expects to build a US$10-billion-a-year business in cloud computing infrastructure and services by 2020 to tap rising global demand.Deputy chairman Ken Hu Houkun, acting chief executive under Huawei's rotating leadership structure, on Wednesday said the company was on track with that goal since that operation was already growing faster than its other business segments.Reaching that scale would enable Shenzhen-based Huawei to mount a strong challenge to the current crop of leading global suppliers of cloud equipment, including Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, Cisco Systems and Dell.
