Why Huawei Cloud?

Continuously Evolving Cloud Services

Huawei Cloud Stack shares the Huawei public cloud architecture. This gives NT a full-stack solution to build a sovereign cloud with over 90 cloud services covering AI, database, and data lake.

Application Development, Migration, and Deployment

With the help of Huawei's global application ecosystems, integration partners, and more than 300 local partners in Thailand, NT smoothly migrates to the cloud and enjoys comprehensive solutions for digital government applications such as smart city, IoT, and blockchain.

Consulting Planning and Design

Drawing insights from 30 years of digital transformation, Huawei provides light consulting for cloud platforms and cloud service modules, and works with local consultants in the early stage of sovereign cloud construction.

Talent Development and Transformation Training

Huawei cooperated with NT in cultivating personnel and launching Huawei Cloud technical certification and training systems.

Challenges

NT cloud service project faces the following challenges and difficulties during the cloud construction:

 

1. Infrastructure and O&M: Previous infrastructure was based on virtualization silos. Resource pools were isolated, resulting in low resource utilization. Digital sovereign cloud has higher requirements on infrastructure size and performance, and requires continuous, long-term strategic investment in O&M.

 

2. Cloud platform evolution: Virtualization was inadequate for the strategic goals of Thailand's Digital Economy Promotion Agency. The digital sovereign cloud should enable national digital services while supporting multiple scenarios such as smart city, smart transportation, Industry 4.0, and IoT.

 

3. Planning, standards development, and technical talent: Government departments lack the talent and resources they need for developing digital sovereign cloud standards and specifications. They are unable to design and implement the standards and specifications on their own.

Solutions

  • Huawei Cloud Stack, a full-stack cloud solution deployed locally:
  • The first phase has more than 20 IaaS cloud services to ensure stable running of key national government applications. Each department has a separate VDC and applies for resources on demand, greatly improving service rollout efficiency.

  • Centralized O&M for quick fault locating:
  • Huawei Cloud professional teams take care of remote O&M. They are available 24/7 to simplify O&M, so NT can focus on innovation.

  • Hybrid cloud for a shared ecosystem:
  • Partner applications integrated and verified on the public cloud can be directly deployed on Huawei Cloud Stack, shortening the development period.
