Huawei highlights open cloud ecosystems at Eco-Connect, plus new OpenLab in Paris
Huawei has announced plans to build a global cloud network based on its own public clouds, as well as clouds built together with partners. Huawei believes that the cloud will prosper only when it helps customers create value on an ongoing basis. The announcement came as Huawei hosted this year's Huawei Eco-Connect Europe in Berlin under the theme of "Go Digital - Go Cloud." With the event, the company emphasized the need to create and shape an open, innovative ICT ecosystem to empower the digital transformation of European businesses. 

Huawei said its OpenLab is another initiative for building digital ecosystems with partners in an open and collaborative way and that it will be launching its next OpenLab in Paris, by the end of the year. 

Huawei noted that the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) has been running its workloads on a public cloud jointly developed by Huawei and T-system. Relying on thousands of Huawei's high-performance computing nodes and that various large enterprises and government departments are already implementing systems developed by OpenLabs. For example, Huawei worked closely with Altair to create an enterprise simulation cloud solution for use within research and development in the automotive industry. The company has also innovated with partners such as SAP and Oracle to power IoT systems, for strong but cost-effective power grids. 

For consumers, Huawei announced, but did not go into, several new mobile services, content partnerships with 15 key app and game developers, and two strategic partnerships with key video content providers ahead of the launch of Huawei AppStore and Huawei Video Service in 2018.  

Also during the eco-Connect event, MobileIron provided a demonstration of ZeroTouch Enrollment into MobileIron Cloud with the just launched Huawei Mate10 Pro. The demo shows how IT departments and users can save the simplify configuration of company-owned Android smartphones and tablets.
