to build cloud-aware architectures to help carriers
reduce operating costs, accelerate service launch, speed
up business innovation, and jointly create a favorable
ecosystem. Huawei deployed the world's first Cloud
IMS commercial network based on NFV architecture in
Europe, and provided cloud-based IMS/VoLTE services
for multiple world-leading carriers. Huawei received the
award for Most Innovative Virtualised IMS Solution at
the 2014 IMS World Forum, and became the preferred
partner for major carriers in this domain.
In the convergent data domain, we:
■ Became the industry leader in user data management
and unified policy control solutions, and steered
industry development and built the digital ecosystem
in the areas of Big Data and IoT connectivity.
■ Delivered 3.9 billion lines of our SingleSDB solution
by the end of 2014, providing secure and stable
services for one-third of the world's population, and
worked with world-leading carriers to innovate in
the area of SDM.
■ Achieved rapid growth with our SmartPCC solution
in 2014. According to a survey by Infonetics,
Huawei's PCRF solution was carriers' top choice.
The SmartPCC solution retained the highest market
share globally according to Infonetics, and ranked
first in terms of technology influence according to
Current Analysis.
■ Continued to spearhead industry development in
FMC unified policy control and NFV.
■ Worked on opening up and adding value to carriers'
data assets with our DaaS solution, a key component
of Huawei's Big Data portfolio. With Open Data
Bus, this solution gains insights into User Profile,
ensures data openness management and security,
and protects privacy, helping customers reduce
operating risks and significantly increase revenue.
The solution has been successfully deployed in the
Big Data project of China Unicom Shanghai. We
also jointly innovated with Telkomsel in Indonesia to
promote the mature commercial application of Big
Data technologies.
■ Helped over 300 carriers worldwide with our
convergent data solutions, and developed converged
user data solutions in the fully-connected era. These
efforts aim to help carriers monetize user data by
fully converging databases, adopting unified control
policies, and ensuring data security and openness, to
satisfy user expectations on an inspired experience.
Looking ahead, Huawei will continue to optimize
network connectivity control centers to achieve fully-
connected communications. We will focus on NFV to
provide customers with customized cloud solutions that
support rapid deployment; build an open, collaborative,
and mutually beneficial communications ecosystem; and
keep promoting the innovation of business models to
consolidate our strategic partnerships with customers.
IT
As OTT development and ICT convergence bring about
opportunities and challenges, carriers urgently need
to make breakthroughs in ICT transformation. With
convergence as our IT strategy and cloud computing
as a strong catalyst for IT and CT restructuring and
convergence, we focus on cloud data center solutions
to help carriers reshape their ICT business and operating
models.
We have greatly improved our IT products and solutions,
which have been extensively adopted by carriers from
around the world. Our innovative, differentiated, and
leading IT products and solutions are increasingly
recognized by our customers. By December 2014,
Huawei had helped customers across the globe build
more than 480 data centers, including 160 cloud data
centers. Gartner raised its rating of Huawei's data
center solutions from "promising" in 2013 to "positive"
in 2014. Our active-active data center solution won
the 2014 Technology Leadership Award in Datacenter
Solutions from Frost & Sullivan.
