Jacqueline Shi, Vice President of Huawei's Cloud & AI Business Group and 
President of Cloud & AI Marketing Department, Huawei Cloud & AI BG, pointed 
out: "We believe, in a digital economy, the cloud is no longer just about 
provisioning resources. Instead, it is an application-centric platform that 
will help enterprises intelligently upgrade and achieve core competitive 
strengths using the Intelligent Twins reference architecture."

2. Hyper-converged Data Center: the foundation of the intelligent hub

Hyper-converged data centers with all-flash storage and all Ethernet networks 
are required to achieve efficient storage and lossless transmission of large 
amounts of data. Huawei's Hyper-Converged Data Center Solution includes 
OceanStor and CloudFabric 3.0 and DC OptiX 2.0.

"Data is valuable in the 21st century. If you can fully mine the value of data, 
you will have more initiative in the future competition. Huawei will 
continually develop the hyper-converged data center network solution. With the 
deep collaboration of storage and network, it will help customers build a 
powerful intelligent hub, and empower enterprises' digital transformation." 
Said by Kevin Hu, President of Data Communication Product Line, Huawei.

Dr. Peter Zhou, President of IT Product Line, Huawei, commented: "Huawei 
OceanStor Dorado has a fully interconnected architecture. This architecture 
allows the system to remain operational even seven out of eight controllers 
fail. Together with active-active disaster recovery solution, it achieves 
99.99999% reliability for mission-critical production data. In addition, 
OceanStor Dorado all-flash storage help build energy-saving all-flash data 
centers. To unleash the unlimited potential offered by massive amounts of 
unstructured data of HPC/HPDA and big data, Huawei OceanStor Pacific 
next-generation data lake storage provides super capacity expansion of up to 
4096 nodes, 60% higher performance density and 2.6 times higher capacity 
density than the industry, as well as hybrid workloads and multi-protocol 
interworking capabilities."

Huawei also launched the CloudFabric 3.0 Hyper-Converged Data Center Network 
Solution, which include CloudEngine and iMaster NCE as core components .The 
solution is the first to achieve level-3 autonomous driving network capability 
in the industry. By providing end-to-end intelligent deployment and operations, 
the OPEX can be reduced by 30%. The solution can also build all Ethernet 
computing and storage networks with zero packet loss, helping to fully optimize 
computing performance by 100%."

Huawei DC OptiX 2.0 solution provides ultra-broadband, simplified, and 
intelligent all-optical interconnect for DCs. The solution has also been 
successfully deployed in the Philippine ISP customer, Converge. Ronald Brusola, 
CTO of Converge, said, " By  cooperating with Huawei, we have learned about 
Huawei's leadership in the DCI field. Through Huawei DC OptiX 2.0 solution, we 
are confident and ensured that Converge will thrive more in IDC field to 
provide the Filipino market with the services they truly deserve."

3. Intelligent connectivity is the body of the Intelligent Twins, connecting 
the intelligent hub and intelligent interaction

To meet the diverse requirements for connectivity scenarios, Huawei has 
developed numerous innovations for optical fiber and IP technology platforms, 
building time-delay deterministic networks.

Richard Jin, President of Transmission and Access Network Product Line, Huawei, 
stated that the world is in an era of explosive data growth, but only flowing 
data can produce value. Intelligent connectivity combined with deterministic 
experiences provides a high-bandwidth and low-latency information highway for 
data flow and is the main artery of industrial intelligence.

The optical slicing based on Liquid OTN technology is a major breakthrough in 
deterministic networks after SDH. Liquid OTN inherits the advantages of 
physical isolation of SDH hard pipes and implements two innovations: protocol 
simplification and architecture convergence. Liquid OTN reduces the latency by 
30%. 

In addition, the slice size can be adjusted from 2 Mbit/s to 100 Gbit/s in real 
time as required. This solution guarantees service experience and meets the 
long-term evolution requirements of industrial digital transformation, making 
it an ideal choice for upgrading SDH networks in industries such as power grids 
and transportation.

In the intelligent IP field, Huawei has made technical innovations based on 
SRv6 and launched the CloudWAN 3.0 intelligent cloud network solution. 
Agricultural Bank of China and Huawei have partnered with innovative and 
leading SRv6 technologies to achieve optimal efficiency and performance for 
multi-cloud connections.

4. Highly Efficient Campus: the basic unit of the intelligent world

Huawei's HQ campus in Bantian features cloud, intelligence, fully-wireless 
access, and all-optical bearer. With Wi-Fi 6, employees can work and get 
connected anytime and anywhere. They can access WeLink, enabling mobile phone 
projection and real-time translation. 5G also supports the real-time 
transmission of 4K video by UAVs, which means that personnel can monitor 
campuses in real-time, building safe environments.

Bob Chen, President of Marketing & Enterprise Network Technical Sales 
Department, Huawei Enterprise BG, believes that campuses will be the "cells" 
carrying all the DNA needed for the future intelligent world where we will see 
more campus scenarios. Going forward, Huawei will continue to develop more 
scenario-specific solutions for more campuses using its 30-year experience and 
technology know-how. In doing so, Huawei's solutions can accelerate digital 
transformation of campuses and enable more service innovation, with the 
potential to achieve zero-boundary, zero-waiting, and zero-danger campuses.

For example, Huawei's all-optical industrial network solution reduces the 
number of explosion-proof nodes in coal mines by 40%, achieving efficient fault 
locating capability of 0.5 m, and achieving safe production in mine campuses.

Huawei also released the CloudCampus 3.0 cloud campus network solution on this 
conference.

5. Green Power: providing green power, conserving energy, and reducing 
emissions by building Intelligent Twins.
