Huawei Cloud is undoubtedly setting new standards in the realm of digital innovation by unveiling a slew of AI-infused solutions and noteworthy upgrades, all designed to propel enterprises into the digital future with remarkable speed. This groundbreaking announcement underscores Huawei Cloud’s unwavering dedication to delivering avant-garde technologies that cater to a variety of industry demands, optimize efficiency, and ensure robust data security compliance.
Zeng Xingyun, the eminent President of Huawei Cloud APAC, emphasized, “In the past five years, Huawei Cloud has witnessed a staggering 30-fold growth in the APAC region, establishing itself as the fastest-expanding cloud service provider among the world’s top five cloud vendors. This meteoric rise can be credited to our relentless pursuit of technological innovation and a flourishing local ecosystem.”
According to Ms. Celine Cao, the dynamic CEO of Huawei Cloud Thailand, “Huawei Cloud is relentlessly committed to empowering industries with intelligent and secure cloud solutions. The latest releases and enhancements exemplify our mission to drive digital transformation, enhance efficiency, and enable global enterprises to achieve sustainable growth.” At the vibrant Huawei Cloud Thailand Gala Dinner 2024, Mr. Victor Luo, Vice President of Huawei Cloud Thailand, unveiled two cutting-edge AI-driven innovations: CloudPond and CodeArts.
CloudPond brings the revolutionary concept of “One CloudPond, All Cloud Service” to fruition, enabling businesses to deploy public cloud services directly at their premises. By supporting more than 30 industry-leading cloud services, it guarantees local data storage, compliance, and reduces service latency to under 5 milliseconds, providing unparalleled convenience and control.
On the other hand, CodeArts emerges as a comprehensive cloud-based software development platform powered by Huawei Cloud’s formidable Pangu foundation model. It allows developers to seamlessly generate code, append comments, and create test cases automatically, significantly boosting efficiency. With a global reach encompassing over 10,000 enterprises and 3.5 million developers, CodeArts has undoubtedly dominated China’s DevOps platform market and strategy for three consecutive years.
Furthermore, Huawei Cloud has introduced significant upgrades to its existing solutions, including DataArts, MetaStudio, and GaussDB.
DataArts now features a pioneering solution for data integration, storage, and management, compatible with over 30 data sources through unified metadata management. Its key upgrades include:
- Innovative Architecture: As the industry’s sole LakeHouse with a three-layered pooling, it separates storage from computing, delivering a 20% uptick in performance.
- Flexible Deployment: Offers public and hybrid cloud support with 10 times more efficient cross-region and cross-source data analysis.
- Data Convergence: Provides unified metadata and workflows across data lakes, warehouses, and AI platforms, tripling resource utilization.
MetaStudio reshapes digital content creation with its cloud-based platform, offering:
- Cloud production and rendering available in PGC/UGC modes.
- AI-generated digital humans, 3D content, and videos, with digital humans achieving an impressive 95% lip synchronization, surpassing industry standards.
GaussDB, Huawei Cloud’s distributed database, dazzles with a cloud-native architecture that offers phenomenal performance, featuring:
- Seamless hardware-software synergy and dual-cluster strong consistency.
- Multi-model database integration for varied scenarios.
- End-to-end security with full encryption and anti-tampering, revolutionizing systems for top Chinese banks and boosting KTC’s credit card data processing capacity threefold in Thailand.
Ms. Cao reiterated that the new solutions and enhancements would reinforce Huawei Cloud’s leadership in service experience. In Thailand, Huawei Cloud holds the No. 1 spot with an impressive latency of 12 ms and zero security incidents over six years, secured by formidable defenses and over 150 compliance certifications. Its core service SLA surpasses 99.99%, with no major disruptions in 2023.
At the extravagant Gala Dinner, Huawei Cloud awarded Innovation Awards to clients who notably improved their service experience by adopting cutting-edge cloud technology, and Excellence Awards to those offering transformative solutions that propel industry advancement. Huawei Cloud also honored its partners for their exceptional contributions and recognized winners from the Huawei ICT Competition 2024-2025. The debonair victors were Team Union from Mae Fah Luang University (Network Track), Team Bearx5 (Cloud Track), and Team Compnet (Computing Track) from King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang.
Huawei Cloud’s growth in the APAC region is truly impressive, but I’m worried about the data security implications.
With over 150 compliance certifications, they have the most robust defenses against data breaches. I think their track record speaks for itself.
But isn’t there always a risk when it comes to data? Especially with such rapid expansion?
Exactly. Rapid growth can sometimes mean corners are cut, even with certifications in place.
Digital transformation is exciting, but I wonder about the environmental impact of such massive cloud services.
Huawei hasn’t mentioned anything about green energy. It’s hard to ignore the environmental costs.
But tech advancements can lead to more efficient energy use in other areas. We need to look at the big picture.
CodeArts is a game-changer for developers! Automating code generation is such a time-saver.
Automating too much takes away the craftsmanship from coding. Developers might lose essential skills.
Innovation always changes the skillset needed. We just have to adapt and learn new things.
Exactly. Automation can free up our time for more creative problem-solving.
This sounds like corporate jargon to me. Are these ‘innovations’ really beneficial, or just hype?
Impressive customer results in Thailand and across APAC suggest these updates are impactful, not just hot air.
Having CloudPond means local data compliance is much easier, but does it really offer the flexibility businesses need?
Having data stored locally reduces latency and ensures compliance, but it might sacrifice some of the global integration that’s possible with traditional cloud models.
Certainly, but it depends on business needs. Some prefer control over speed.
That’s true, I guess we’ll see how it plays out with user feedback over time.
This sound like a fantastic leap for the tech industry in the APAC region. How will this affect small businesses?
Access to sophisticated cloud tools can boost small business efficiency, but the cost could be a prohibiting factor.
The emphasis on AI and cloud services hints at major shifts in work patterns. Will there be job losses or creation?
AI can automate tasks, which might lead to job losses, but it also creates new roles in system maintenance and AI management.
Excited to see how GaussDB can support cross-industry innovations. Database integrations sound revolutionary!
I’m concerned about the long-term implications of monopolies on cloud services by few big players like Huawei.
The market’s competitive enough to prevent monopolies. Technology always diversifies.
Agreed, but regulation needs to keep up with these rapid developments.
MetaStudio’s digital human is fascinating! However, it also raises ethical concerns about AI in creative processes.
As a creator, I worry AI might replace human touch in art, leading to less authenticity.
Congrats to Team Union for winning the Networking track! Shows that dedicated youth can achieve great results.
I’m still not convinced Huawei Cloud can maintain security with such rapid growth and deployment.
Six years without a major security incident is quite reassuring, but staying vigilant is key.
I love seeing how the advancements in cloud services keep shifting possibilities for businesses worldwide.
That’s true, but I wonder if the pace is too rapid for everyone, especially smaller companies.
Adapting to change is challenging, but sometimes necessary to stay competitive.
What amazes me is how fast technology evolves. Can’t help but think about the pace at which innovation in APAC is accelerating!
