ISLAMABAD: Huawei showcased voice and artificial intelligence (AI) at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024 in Barcelona. “Huawei Cloud was a focal point at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024 in Barcelona, as various teams presented product and solution launches, the Go Cloud Grow global forum and the Cloud Native Elite Club (CNEC) seminar, and innovative products and real-world cases including Pangu models, GaussDB, data convergence and AI, virtual human and software development,” said a press release received here on Tuesday. As artificial intelligence reshapes the world, Huawei remains at the forefront of technology to accelerate intelligence across industries and sectors.
Huawei announced ten cutting-edge innovations and also highlighted the integration of cloud-native and AI technologies as a strategy to accelerate the global implementation and development of AI. Bruno Zhang, CTO of Huawei Cloud, introduced the Cloud Native Elite Club (CNEC) Global Leap Program at the summit. With the theme “Leap with Cloud Native × AI”, the program will facilitate extensive technical exchanges, in-depth discussions and best practice demonstrations. Users around the world are looking for resilient, adaptive and end-to-end AI solutions. Jacqueline Shi, president of Huawei Cloud Global Marketing and Sales Service, shared the journey of Huawei Cloud and the rapid growth and innovation in the field of cutting-edge technology that was seen at the Huawei Cloud Summit.
Shi said: “Huawei Cloud hopes to build an open ecosystem, an open platform, so that all our customers and partners can enjoy not only cloud services, but also new opportunities and new businesses. In the past two years, we have redefined our ecosystem framework which is “Go Cloud, Grow Cloud”, we hope to enable more partners, especially new developers and startups, to grow with us. We hope to work closely with all partners to create scenario-based solutions for vertical industries.” Huawei Cloud, Koo Verse, has 85 AZs in 30 regions in more than 170 countries and regions, with global cloud infrastructure covering compute, storage, networking and security pushing latency down to 50ms.
In conjunction with the QingTian distributed architecture built on a high-speed interconnection bus (Unified Bus), which enables heterogeneous, peer-to-peer, full-mesh computing. Huawei’s hyper-scalable and stable AI cloud service supports model training with trillions of parameters, and training jobs can run non-stop on a cluster with thousands of cards for 30 days, 90% of the time, while the native AI storage has an ultra-large capacity of 220TB. bandwidth and ultra-low microsecond latency, SFS Turbo cache service for high throughput and tens of millions of IOPS concurrency enables 1 billion data records to be warmed up in just 5 hours instead of 100.
With more than 120 security and compliance certificates, Huawei cloud services are highly secure and meet the strictest global standards. E2E security ensures robust, secure and compliant models and applications, while GaussDB is a next-generation database – the world’s first native AI database with an enterprise-class distributed architecture. It is CC EAL4+ certified for safety, the highest level in the industry. database. Dr. Nikos Ntarmos, director of the Huawei Central Software Institute Database Laboratory, emphasized that GaussDB is the result of Huawei’s extensive database experience spanning more than 20 years.

Moreover, with more than 30 years of proven enterprise services, GaussDB is a better choice for global users, especially for essential transaction and data processing needs. The explosion of underlying models means that “Data+AI” is now “Data4AI and AI4Data”. Huawei Cloud LakeFormation unifies data lakes from multiple lakes or warehouses so that a single copy of data is shared among multiple data analytics and AI tools without data migration. Three collaborative channels—DataArts, ModelArts, and CodeArts—then organize and plan data and AI workflows.
They power online modeling and inference with real-time data. The AI4Data engine makes data management smarter, from data integration and development to quality and asset management. In this era of AIGC and 3D Internet, Huawei Cloud has built a media infrastructure of efficiency, experience and development. Jamy Lyu, President of Huawei Cloud Media Services, shared how Huawei Cloud has innovated and integrated media services into a wide range of tailor-made industrial solutions. For efficiency, Huawei Cloud MetaStudio, a content production channel that includes Workspace and AIGC-based virtual people, generates content faster and better.
For experiences, Huawei Cloud Live, Low Latency Live and SparkRTC give you a more seamless live experience. For evolution, Huawei Cloud provides AIGC and 3D space services with real-time user interaction. All this together takes the business and user experience to the next level. Enterprises better utilize and manage resources on Huawei Cloud with unified account, identity, permissions, network, compliance and cost management. Now multi-tenant and collaboration between staff, finance, resources, permissions and security compliance is seamless. What’s more, all the capabilities and services of the Pangu model can operate in the public cloud, dedicated cloud or hybrid cloud, so customers can build and run specialized AI platform and foundation models in their existing data centers using Huawei Cloud Stack, a hybrid cloud solution.
Jim Lu, president of the European region and senior vice president of Huawei, said in his speech that “Intelligence will open up new opportunities for Europe in the next decade. We hope to use ICT to help global customers and partners unlock their full potential. Together with so many friends in Europe, we believe we can better support the digital and intelligent transformation of industries.” Huawei’s core models redefine production, interaction, service paradigms and business models for traditional applications, making AI the new engine for cloud computing growth. While the potential is huge, implementing AI in line with business goals requires systematic innovation.
Huawei Cloud CTO Bruno Zhang said: “Huawei Cloud will help you with two strategies. AI for Cloud uses AI and underlying models to improve your experience. They are revolutionizing software development, digital content production and more. Cloud for AI Enables Seamless and Efficient AI Deployment Architectural innovations, native AI storage, and AI data convergence enable you to train and use AI like never before.” William Fang, Product Director of Huawei Cloud, highlighted the growing demands on various aspects of cloud infrastructure due to the rapid development of AI and underlying models. Customers want collaborative heterogeneous computing architecture, cloud-native computing with excellent performance, large-capacity data storage, security, lean management.
