On November 20, Huawei attended the Automotive Industry Digital Intelligence Upgrade Summit Forum in Suzhou, China. During the event, the company unveiled a new Huawei Cloud architecture and a few solutions that can hype the digital growth of automobile industries.
As per the input revealings, the latest cloud infrastructure is 1+3+M+N. This framework applies to both Chinese as well as global automotive sectors. Alongside the digital aspect, the newly-released cloud architecture will also increase networking growth.
What does 1+3+M+N reflect?
The latest Huawei Cloud architecture has a hidden meaning and motto. Let’s understand the innovative term in more detail:
1 vehicle storage and computing network
The new cloud architecture will support Huawei Cloud’s global vehicle storage and computing network framework. In other words, it will aim to develop a unified networking coverage for automobiles across the globe.
So far, the respective framework has offered services in more than 170 countries worldwide. Moreover, it has integrated with the KooVerse computing network and has made the global deployment of the Internet of Vehicles possible.
3 ultra-large data centers to develop a car zone
To make an efficient, eco-friendly, and secure automobile zone, the Chinese tech maker has established three leading cloud data centers in Ulanqab, Gui’an, and Wuhu. These regions in China support the entire manufacturing purposes.
M distributed IoV nodes
Consequently, Huawei keeps associating with different operators to initiate high-end and distributed IoV (Internet of Vehicles). Thus, this development will make transporting IoV data and details to the cloud sector easier.
N vehicle-specific data access points
Huawei Cloud department will deploy approx 50 vehicle-specific data access points. This step will allow the transfer of driving details and other development notes in the cloud without any hindrance.
Huawei Cloud Solutions:
Additionally, Huawei has also released a handful of cloud solutions for the automobile industry. To begin with, the company has launched the R&D driving solution. Ultimately, it will help in collecting and verifying autonomous driving algorithms.
Furthermore, Huawei Cloud has brought the AI development ModelArts solution to support efficient training. Accordingly, it will enhance the training activity by 30% and will reduce the overall time consumption by 50%.
Ahead, the company has revealed a software-oriented car solution. As the name suggests, it will be an aid in the car-cloud collaboration and will support the development of car-related applications and services.

Huawei conducted the Connect 2022 conference in Dubai on October 12 and introduced numerous cloud-network solutions. Besides, the manufacturer also presented several programs that can elevate digital development in the region.
Describing the merits of Intelligent Cloud-Network Solutions, Huawei quotes that these services will aid the network requirements in Dubai. Further, it will provide benefits to operators and consumers in several other aspects.
The cloud-network solution mainly confines three major functionalities: CloudFabric 3.0, CloudCampus 3.0, and CloudWan 3.0. Together, these capabilities will bridge the gap between operators and advanced network technologies.
Let’s read about these three attributes in more detail:
CloudFabric 3.0
This mechanism provides new facilities and services for L3.5 ADN (Autonomous Driving Network) technology. Moreover, it comprises universal management features, interconnection, better verification, and risk prediction for applications and networks.
CloudCampus 3.0
This mechanism targets the enterprises and their goals. Further, it eases the campus network covering four major corners. These are Access, Branch, Architecture, and Operations & Maintenance (O&M).
In terms of inclusion, the mechanism consists of the first enterprise-class Wi-Fi 7 AP AirEngine 8771-X1T, core switch Cloud Engine S16700, and 4-in-1 hyper-converged gateway NetEngine AR5710.
CloudWAN 3.0
WAN reflects – Wide Area Network. Thus, this solution works toward achieving enhanced and improved connectivity in larger areas. On the other hand, it provides ultra-high-density services to the operators with the help of a NetEngine 8000 F8 router.
Consequently, these components will provide aggregate network facilities in the region.
Apart from the cloud-network technology, the Chinese tech maker along with IEEE-UAE and UAE’s Ankabut and Commercial Bank of Kuwait (CBK) also revealed the high-definition L3.5 Data Center ADN White Paper automation.
Ultimately, this solution improves the network framework of the enterprises. Besides, it also enriches the operational functions of the enterprises and reduces their capital expenditures and operating expenses.
Huawei Connect 2022 has proved as a boon for Dubai operators. The Chinese firm has offered several new technologies and solutions to the region. It would be worth seeing what effective changes will these solutions provide to the region in the time ahead.
