“Since 2009, Huawei has continuously invested a large number of resources to develop and promote its own cloud operating system,” said Ren Zhipeng, the vice president of Huawei’s cloud computing department. “Now, Huawei’s cloud computing architecture is well-received by customers. FusionSphere’s excellent performance on SPECvirt_sc2010 also demonstrates that it is a definitive platform on which China’s fast-growing information industry can build the next generation of information infrastructure.”
