Huawei Cloud Stack 8.3 aims to serve as a catalyst for government and enterprise customers, propelling them into the cloud while facilitating an intelligent upgrade.
Building On-Premises Large Models in a Single Step
One of the most notable features of Huawei Cloud Stack 8.3 is its ability to facilitate the creation of on-premises large models for enterprises seamlessly. Serving as a hybrid cloud platform, it enables the deployment of AI cloud services and large model products within enterprise on-premises data centers. This simplifies the complex process of building large models by offering a comprehensive AI pipeline, encompassing AI computing power, compute architectures, frameworks, development platforms, development suites, foundation models, and an array of professional services. These offerings collectively lower the barriers to entry for organizations seeking to embark on this AI journey. Huawei Cloud Stack also leverages software-hardware synergy to optimize operator fusion and mixed precision, resulting in a remarkable 45% improvement in training efficiency. Notably, Pangu models, developed by Huawei, have found utility in more than ten different industries.
Industrial Internet Architecture with Five Core Capabilities
Huawei Cloud’s extensive industrial expertise is evident in the development of an industrial Internet architecture using Huawei Cloud Stack. This architecture possesses five core capabilities: industrial cloud-edge synergy, industrial data collection, industrial data convergence, industrial AI Cortex, and industrial application development. Together, these capabilities support a wide spectrum of use cases and streamline the entire industrial production process, from data collection to intelligent applications.
Trusted Data Circulation and Software Supply
Recognizing the paramount importance of data governance and circulation, Huawei Cloud introduced a data circulation solution embedded with data-AI convergence, blockchain, and privacy computing capabilities, all provided by Huawei Cloud Stack 8.3. This solution enables enterprises to create high-quality data products, ensuring data remains available yet invisible. Additionally, the Exchange Data Space (EDS) service ensures trusted data circulation and authorized data operations, facilitating data sharing within domains.
Furthermore, Huawei Cloud’s commitment to trustworthy software supply is exemplified through CodeArts, a software development pipeline enriched in Huawei Cloud Stack 8.3. This pipeline incorporates over 30 core capabilities developed by Huawei, covering the entire spectrum of software supply, from infrastructure to software dependencies and tools.
Huawei Cloud Stack 8.3 is poised to be commercially available on September 30, 2023. Huawei Cloud looks forward to collaborating with customers and partners across various industries, embarking on a transformative cloud journey that accelerates intelligent upgrades and empowers enterprises to harness the power of large models, industrial Internet, trusted data circulation, and reliable software supply for sustained growth and innovation
