Huawei collaborates with Intel

Huawei has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Intel at Huawei Cloud Congress 2012 (HCC2012) to strengthen their focus on server, storage, data center and cloud computing products and to bring new IT solutions to the market.

The duo intend to build competitive products and solutions for server, storage, data center and cloud computing as well as jointly going to market in China and other geographic areas.

The MoU helps them to improve solution alignment and joint innovation. As strategic partner in IT solutions, Intel strongly supports Huawei IT group's growth capability, solution development, and channel promotion which have already led to a break through this year in high-end servers. Huawei launched 4 Tecal V2 high-end servers based on Intel® Xeon® processors E7 product families and Intel® Xeon® processors E5 product families in July.

"Intel leads in computing innovation, and builds advanced platforms for server, cloud computing, storage and data center solutions,"said Ian Yang, Intel corporate vice president and China president. He added, "The strategic MoU between Intel and Huawei will bring the cooperation to a new level. The key advantage for both companies is the ability to bring new innovative product and usage models to market."

"Huawei has strong capability in server, storage, data center and cloud computing," said Mr. Zheng Yelai, President of Huawei IT product line. He added, "We have had an excellent collaboration over the past ten years with Intel. The strategic global cooperation MoU on IT will only help to strengthen the Huawei and Intel relationship, and allow us both to innovate around customer demand — providing more efficient, more valuable ICT solutions to our customers."
