Why Huawei Cloud?

Huawei Cloud is one such qualified cloud provider. Huawei tailored a cloud platform construction scheme to local needs, recommending digitalization package design and evolution for SMEs and large enterprises.

Huawei Cloud Stack is a seamless, unified hybrid cloud with the same architecture as Huawei Cloud to provide consistent user experience, rich cloud services, and support for service evolution.

Huawei Cloud has local jointly-operated public cloud nodes. As an experienced integrator, Huawei Cloud pools many local and regional partners into an ecosystem to build industry-specific digitalization solutions.

Huawei Cloud has a local O&M team to respond to urgent needs while routine O&M is handled remotely, allowing the customer to focus on their own business development.
Challenges

SDEC encountered the following challenges when developing SDeCLOUD:

 1. They needed a cloud provider with proven success in smart city and digital transformation projects for enterprises, and with professional consulting and support.

2. They wanted a hybrid cloud solution that would keep data within the state while providing the same public cloud experience with a wider range of cloud services, such as AI, big data, database, data lake, and general SaaS systems such as ERP and office automation.

3. The cloud provider needed to have local public cloud nodes, data centers with high performance and low latency, and local integration experience.

4. The cloud provider also needed to have a local service team to support managed services so SDEC could focus on upper-layer services and customer development.
