HUAWEI: OPEN INNOVATION FOR SHARED SUCCESS

At HUAWEI CONNECT 2020, the annual flagship event hosted by Huawei for the global ICT industry, the multinational technology company announced that it will open up the full-stack Kunpeng and Ascend and launched the distributed diversified computing software suite to the industry.

These open source technologies are designed to catalyze industry innovation and enable simplified development, allowing Huawei to achieve shared success with industry partners in the new computing era.

This is further to the brand's 2019 promise of open hardware, open source software, and partner enablement. Over the past year, Huawei has fulfilled its commitment to these strategies and continues to advance the Kunpeng and Ascend industries together with industry partners.

“With Kunpeng and Ascend, Huawei provides diversified computing power, embraces full-stack innovation, and works with partners and developers to advance the computing industry ecosystem. We wish to join with every developer and blaze the trail forward, together fostering an open ecosystem for diversified computing.” Deng Taihua, President of Huawei Computing Product Line, amplified the spirit of Huawei’s commitment in his keynote speech.

The close collaboration between Huawei and partners has resulted in a new era of diversified computing. Huawei has fully embraced a Partner-First approach – opening motherboards and components, as well as technology capabilities, to enable hardware partners to build self-branded products.

This hardware and expertise openness has yielded fruitful results. For example, in June 2020, the shipment of partners’ servers had exceeded that of Huawei servers. In terms of open source software, Huawei has made openEuler, openGauss, openLooKeng, and MindSpore go live as scheduled. Based on these open source versions, software partners have launched commercial releases and applied them to key industries and projects. The Kunpeng and Ascend industries thrive rapidly and comprise nearly 300,000 developers, more than 1,000 partners, and over 3,000 certified solutions.
