Huawei has launched Cloud Open Labs globally to build efficient networks and help operators to provide cloud services to users in real-time.

The Cloud Open Labs has interconnected facilities across four centers, which will serve as a foundation for integration and verification of solutions to enable what the global information and communications technology solutions provider calls its All Cloud Strategy. Digital transformation sits at the core of both of Huawei’s recent initiatives, Cloud Open Labs, and All Cloud strategy, according to Channel Partners.

Jim Lu, President of Global Technical Service at Huawei, said the company aims to create solutions jointly with operators, industry organizations, and partners and achieve mutual certification and authorization together with partners. In addition, it will establish an industry ecosystem and support open collaboration.

"Operators will face numerous challenges during the transformation to the cloud, including multi-vendor integration, evolution from existing networks to target networks, and problems relating to agile operations. Our Cloud Open Labs’ function is to establish an ecosystem, conduct pre-integration, and pre-verification, and serve as a joint innovation platform which will effectively enable the All Cloud Strategy," said Bruce Xun, vice president of global technical service at Huawei.

Huawei announced its All Cloud strategy in April. The strategy will see the reconstruction of its infrastructure networks in four respects that include equipment, network, services, and operations. According to the strategy, the entire network will shift to data center-centric architecture — and all network functions, services, and applications will run in the cloud data center.

Currently, the labs have worked with more than 40 partners for solution integration and verification. They have also completed pre-verification for more than 550 projects, and pursued joint innovation in conjunction with Wind River, VMware, Red Hat and Accenture, ET Telecom reported.
