Aug, 2016 : Global Cloud Computing Company Huawei Looking to Sell
📅 - Huawei Technologies is looking to become a large player in the market for cloud computing gear and software. They have an aim of $10 billion in business by the close of 2020. Huawei is a Chinese company that's growing fast. They plan to keep investing in the cloud, while growing the server, chip and equipment supply side of their company.
The company has already started to work with foreign firms, such as Intel and SAP SE. Huawei isn't looking to compete with AWS or Google, as they want to actually supply the components for cloud infrastructure to companies in health care, education and other markets.
