华为云“算计”

危机感让华为不得不"算计"云,但它真正需要"算计"的却是如何对抗自己。上个月26日,任正非写了一篇内部文章——《一江春水向东流》。在文中,他这样形容自己,"我知识的底蕴不够,也并不够聪明。"这个不够聪明的人,1996年曾找来专家制定了《华为基本法》,还给自己下了一个"套":"我们将永不进入信息服务业。"但华为在2003年接受了IBM一系列的内部管理咨询以后,其触角早已延

HUAWEI BETS ON CLOUD

Ren Zhengfei, founder and President of the world famous telecom solution provider Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. (Huawei), once said in 1996 that Huawei would never enter the information service sector. But after internal management consulting by IBM in 2003, it has reached fields including software, Internet service and enterprise network. And in recent two years, Ren broke his promise again. He saw a piece of new land, cloud computing. He even ordered the entire company to surpass Cisco in cloud platform as well as catching up with Google in could businesses. Not only the senior management are talking about cloud, a fierce "cloud reengineering move" is taking place inside the company. Could computing means two things to Huawei:crisis and entrance. Though Huawei has achieved great success in consumer terminal and even beat Apple at the smart phone market, its growth slowed down according to its fiscal report in the first quarter this year. And the cloud computing is the key to enter the coming C-era (24 hour online and connected). But the market is completely different from the telecom operators Huawei faced before and it has its own market rules. It remains to be seen whether Huawei can copy its success in this sector.
