33Management Discussion and Analysis
Our FusionSphere cloud operating system was listed
in Gartner's magic quadrant for server virtualization
infrastructure. Our FusionCube cloud platform was
listed in Gartner's magic quadrant for all-in-one
appliances.
Our server shipments were the fourth largest globally
for six consecutive quarters.
Gartner rated our data center solution as "positive".
Committed to building an open and innovative ICT
ecosystem, we have cooperated with our partners
such as SAP, Accenture, Intel, and Telefonica in the
areas of cloud computing and Big Data. Huawei has
become a major player in the open source organization
OpenStack, with our contribution growing the fastest.
Our channel policies, processes, and IT support systems
have matured considerably. By the end of 2014, we had
more than 6,000 channel partners and 300 solution
partners in the enterprise business.
Huawei provides enterprise customers with converged
ICT service solutions. We also offer our channel partners
service certification, authorization, enablement,
incentives, and all-around service support. By the end
of 2014, we had collaborated with more than 1,200
certified and authorized service partners. Approximately
20,000 individuals had received a Huawei-issued
certificate. The number of Huawei Certified Internetwork
Experts (HCIEs), the highest technical certification
offered by Huawei, stood at nearly 500.
Innovative ICT will change enterprises' production
systems, and not just their office systems. Industry
transformation is gathering momentum, which will
place unprecedented challenges and requirements on
ICT infrastructure. Huawei will embrace these historic
opportunities, face all challenges head on, and work
with partners along the industry chain. By keeping
up with the industry trends and fully understanding
customer needs, we will continuously innovate, better
facilitate enterprises' transformation, and continue to
create value for customers' business success.
