2019 Annual Report (^51)
■ HoloSens IVS: With an all-cloud architecture,
Huawei’s IVS platforms – Lite Cloud HoloSens
IVS3800 and Micro Cloud HoloSens IVS1800 – help
customers build one cloud and enable network-
wide collaboration and resource sharing. These
platforms have revolutionized the conventional
siloed architecture widely adopted across the
industry.
■ HoloSens Store: Huawei released the industry’s first
one-stop store for intelligent vision algorithms. This
store has changed the industry ecosystem, meeting
different industries’ demands for intelligent
algorithms. The algorithm store will contribute
to an open ecosystem, making algorithms easier
to launch and use, and allowing users to pick,
customize, and trust the algorithms they need.
Working with partners to build an open,
collaborative, and win-win computing ecosystem
Compared to its predecessor, the Huawei Developer
Program 2.0 will be upgraded across five dimensions:
products, enablement, alliances, communities, and
incentives. Specifically, we will:
- Build open hardware and software ecosystems.
- Build an inclusive training system.
- Promote the development of industry standards,
specifications, showcases, and technical certification
systems through alliances for joint market
expansion effort. - Build application ecosystems by industry and
industry ecosystems by region. - Enhance collaboration with educational and
scientific research institutes to ensure that
computing technologies and the computing power
of Kunpeng and Ascend are accessible.
There are three pillars to Huawei’s computing
ecosystem strategy: open hardware, open-
source software, and partner enablement. We are
working closely with our partners to build an open,
collaborative, and win-win computing ecosystem so
that everyone can enjoy the benefits of an intelligent
world.
■ Open hardware: Based on our expertise in
hardware, we provide boards, SSDs, NICs, RAID
controllers, and Atlas accelerator modules and
cards to external customers.■ Open-source software: We make our operating
systems, databases, and AI computing framework
open source so that our partners can develop their
own products. We also provide developers with an
all-scenario development framework that works
across devices, edge, and cloud. We announced
that we would make our openEuler OS, openGauss
database, AI computing framework MindSpore, and
data virtualization engine openHetu, among others,
all open source.Of these, the open-source editions of openEuler
and MindSpore have already been made available.
Many operating system vendors and research
institutes have already joined us to build the
openEuler community and unveiled Long-Term
Support (LTS) commercial editions. In addition, the
open-source editions of openGauss and openHetu
will be released in the second quarter of 2020.■ Partner enablement: Huawei has launched its
Kunpeng Partner Program. This program aims to
provide a platform and ecosystem from which
Huawei can lead the development of industry
standards, solve technical challenges facing the
industry, and provide training and technologies to
partners.Huawei released the White Paper on Kunpeng Computing
