Chinese companies and international giants storm the Middle East cloud computing market

At the Gulf Information Technology Exhibition in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, "cloud computing" has become a battlefield for the world's telecommunications giants. They are competing to showcase new products and hope to seize the commanding heights of the cloud computing market in the Middle East. Chinese companies also take advantage of their own advantages and actively participate in competition.

For the first time, Microsoft has launched Office365, a cloud-based office software for the Middle East. Industry insiders believe that Microsoft's move is intended to compete with Google’s previously launched cloud computing online office suite Google Apps. After Hewlett-Packard Company announced the acquisition of a British software company, it also strengthened the strategic layout of the cloud computing market. Stephen Dicky, vice president of Hewlett-Packard Company, said at the show that HP takes cloud computing as a core business and aims to dominate the cloud computing market.

According to industry insiders who participated in the exhibition, the current international competition in the cloud computing market is still unclear. Each major company has its own merits, but it has not yet formed a unified technical standard, no leading companies with obvious advantages, and no industrial monopolies have formed. Starting companies in China have provided new opportunities for development.

Telecommunication equipment provider China Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. will use this exhibition to promote products in the Middle East market. According to Ron Raffinsberg, head of cloud computing marketing at Huawei, with the advent of the era of cloud computing, Huawei is transforming itself from a traditional communications company and focusing on cloud computing to restructure its business and develop corporate customers. . The Middle East region will be one of the key areas for Huawei to explore the cloud computing market.

According to reports, at present, Huawei has more than 3,000 personnel in Shenzhen headquarters, the United States, Canada, and other places engaged in cloud computing research and development.
