The world exists in a perpetual state of uncertainty. In 1927, the physicist Werner Heisenberg introduced the idea of quantum mechanics, framed in his uncertainty principle. As he put it, "In the strict formulation of the law of causality — if we know the present, we can calculate the future — it is not the conclusion that is wrong, but the premise."
The macroworld we live in is formed by quantum particles and thus subject to the same uncertainty principle. On a macro scale, this is exemplified by multiple recent black swan events that have disrupted production and life. However, humanity's pursuit of happiness and progress is one of the most certain things in an uncertain world.
Carriers and the ICT industry are experiencing a second wave of industry digitalization, which brings with it uncertainties and challenges – but also great strategic opportunities. In China, enterprise cloudification is set to create a new market worth US$3 trillion. And more than 50 nations have already developed digitalization strategies explicitly based on cloud and networks.
Industry digitalization in this new era will require the latest cloud-network infrastructure. Huawei understands the changes that next-gen cloud-network infrastructure will and won’t bring and how to seize nascent opportunities. Over the past decade, the first wave of industry digitalization brought high-quality, ubiquitous connectivity, deterministic bandwidth, and security to industry customers. That won’t change any time soon – new cloud networks will require the same customer experiences, service continuity, and growth. What will change is the increasing demand for more efficient, convenient services, cloud-based applications, and open ecosystems based on cloud native and AI technologies. Industries will need the new business models and new market potential that 5G, IoT, and smart devices enable.
This is where Huawei's recent intelligent cloud-network solution framework comes in. Intelligent cloud networks will be key to connecting users, streamlining cloud interoperability, and supporting industrial cloud migration. We’re focusing on building four new capabilities: on-demand access to any cloud, provision of deterministic experience and differentiated services, ultra-automated O&M, and ubiquitous security.
Let's embrace change and position the intelligent cloud network as an example of how we should be searching for certainty.
