A hybrid cloud offers maximal asset utilization and cost-effectiveness, leverages IT security and costs, and provides high IT availability and service flexibility. However, most hybrid cloud solutions on the market are isolated, homogeneous solutions. What's more, public cloud within hybrid cloud is prone to security and network instability risks. Therefore, customers face challenges when deploying or migrating their service applications on a hybrid cloud.
Huawei’s FusionCloud Omni solution featured in openness, security and agility, to resolve these hybrid cloud issues.
Being open. Huawei developed the open-source OpenStack cascading technology, which interconnects mainstream public and private cloud platforms.
Being secure. The FusionCloud Omni solution allows public and private clouds to implement the same security policy, making customers’ services on the public cloud, just as secure and controllable as their private cloud services.
Being agile. Huawei uses software-defined network (SDN) technologies to assure network quality on hybrid clouds, so that customers can freely deploy or migrate their service applications on them.
Ren Zhipeng, President of Huawei Cloud Computing Product Line, stated, “Openness, security, and agility are the core concepts behind Huawei’s hybrid cloud solution. Only by being open, secure, and agile, can a hybrid cloud bring the maximal benefits to enterprise customers, help telecom carriers seize strategic opportunities arising from public cloud development, as well as increase carriers’ end-user loyalty. Open, secure, agile hybrid clouds will become the mainstream development mode in the future ICT industry.”
The Huawei hybrid cloud solution is currently in commercial use or pre-commercial service by multiple telecom carriers, such as Vodafone and China Unicom, as well as many enterprise customers. In the ICT industry, Huawei has accelerated its pace on the Open ROADS (Real-time, On-demand, All-in-one, DIY, Social).
