FusionCloud 6.5 offers many new capabilities:

• Compared to FusionCloud 6.3, FusionCloud 6.5 provides more than 50 cloud services in nine categories. With enhanced capabilities in AI-powered heterogeneous computing, enterprise intelligence, and hybrid cloud, FusionCloud 6.5 allows Huawei’s full-stack AI solutions to be deployed on private cloud platforms and offers cloud-edge-cloud synergy. With an eye toward next-generation networking, FusionCloud 6.5 enables enterprises to extend data from private clouds to the Internet edge.
• Huawei’s FusionCloud solution helps enterprises implement large-scale, intelligent edge-computing management and collaboration. FusionCloud 6.5 also expands the integration of Independent Software Vendor (ISV) algorithms and applications so that ISVs can quickly integrate their AI algorithms and applications into private cloud platforms.
• Huawei’s FusionCloud Private Cloud Solution provides a unified experience that ensures consistent on- and off-premises connectivity through standardized public and private cloud architectures. FusionCloud 6.5 supports today’s increasing demands for cloud-computing services such as Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), and Data-as-a-Service (DaaS).
• FusionCloud 6.5 shares unified architectures, Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), services, and ecosystems with HUAWEI CLOUD to allow users to leverage more than 100 online cloud services. The solution can also connect to Amazon Web Services (AWS), Azure, and other third-party public cloud platforms through hybrid clouds. This versatility enables seamless cross-cloud business deployment and migration that provides long-term support for business development. FusionCloud 6.5 provides full-stack services, platform, and ecosystem to help meet customers’ digital transformation requirements.

The new-generation FusionStorage offers advanced cloud storage capabilities for enterprise mission-critical applications:

• FusionStorage leverages the technology innovations of storage software and compatibility with industry-leading hardware to provide the ultimate performance, robust reliability, and on-demand storage resource services for mission-critical applications. With this platform, enterprises can easily cope with the challenges of migrating core applications to the cloud.
• FusionStorage offers distributed linear expansion capabilities that include linear expansion of EB-level storage capacity, IOPS, and throughput. FusionStorage also implements coordinated storage of hybrid cloud data on- and off-premises, and boasts industry-leading reliability and ease of use, so that mission-critical applications can securely run in cloud resource pools.
• FusionStorage also delivers multi-level business continuity assurance for users to deploy on demand. Equipped with Huawei’s unique fully distributed gateway-free active-active solution, FusionStorage provides 99.9999 percent solution-level reliability to ensure uninterrupted business operations in virtualization and database scenarios. Additionally, this solution offers the industry’s only asynchronous replication technology that supports Recovery Point Objective (RPO) at the level of seconds for long-distance data protection scenarios.

Huawei is committed to working with customers in the long term and takes a future-oriented approach to drive enterprise digital transformation through the power of the platform. So far, 211 of the Fortune Global 500 companies (including 48 Fortune Global 100 companies) have selected Huawei as their digital transformation partner.
