Building the Intelligent Cloud Foundation for Telcos with Systematic Innovation

BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- At the Huawei Product & Solution Launch 2024 event during MWC Barcelona 2024, Bruno Zhang, CTO of Huawei Cloud, stated that, "Huawei Cloud is committed to building an intelligent cloud foundation for the telecom industry and accelerating intelligence across industries with systematic innovation that encompasses AI for Cloud and Cloud for AI."

AI for Cloud: Reshaping the Industry with Pangu Models

Huawei Cloud Pangu models power intelligent upgrade of both industries and cloud applications.

Mr. Zhang described how telco customers have already applied them. The Pangu R&D model helps developers generate code with just one prompt and test cases with just one click. The Pangu telecom model automatically troubleshoots 90% of network faults in just minutes. The Pangu virtual human model boasts 95% lip sync accuracy for customer service and livestreaming. These will be joined with even more models.

Cloud for AI: Solving Challenges with Systematic Innovation

To help telcos build intelligent cloud infrastructure, Huawei Cloud provides a solution suite comprising AI-native storage, GaussDB, data-AI convergence, and distributed QingTian architecture. These are deployed and used across the cloud, network, edge, and device.

• AI Native Storage: High bandwidth, high concurrency, and low latency for foundation models
  Training foundation models needs exabytes of data. Huawei Cloud handles this demand easily thanks to a three-pronged approach. First, the EMS memory service stores petabytes of parameters with 220 TB ultra-large bandwidth and ultra-low latency down to the microsecond. Second, the SFS Turbo cache service delivers high throughput and concurrency. With IOPS in the tens of millions, 1 billion data records no longer need 100 hours to prepare, just 5. Third, a knowledge lake built on Object Storage Service (OBS) reduces the cost of storing training and inference data by 30%.

• GaussDB: A solid database that helps telcos process data both efficiently and securely
