TELCOM giant Huawei said Wednesday its cloud service is gaining popularity in the Bangladeshi market. The company said the Bangladeshi Government is using Huawei Cloud in meeting myriads of digital needs, with many leading local and multinational companies also benefiting from the cloud service. In February, it provided cloud service for the virtual edition of Bangladesh’s largest annual book fair. The Bangladesh Computer Council (BCC) has used the Huawei Cloud service to build a National e-Government Cloud, and its National Digital Foundation Platform with unified cloud infrastructure, according to Bangladeshi State Minister for ICT Division, Zunaid Ahmed Palak. Huawei said its cloud service has contributed a lot as BCC Cloud has served 30 plus departments and organizations and hosted 50 plus projects. Pan Junfeng, chief executive officer of Huawei Technologies (Bangladesh) Ltd., said Huawei Cloud has already helped Bangladesh reap the benefits of digitalization, adding “We are ready to modernize the power and other sectors with our cloud-based solutions.” In 2021, Huawei Cloud’s major customers in the Asia-Pacific region increased by 156%, and the number of ecosystem partners grew by 90%, according to Zeng Xingyun, president of Huawei Cloud Asia-Pacific.
