Innovations Unveiled

Huawei Cloud unveiled two innovative solutions at the summit:

• Financial Container Cloud: This solution, underpinned by Huawei Cloud Stack, is deployed in customers' on-premises data centers, offering high performance, scalability, security, maintainability, and compatibility.

• Cloud Native GaussDB(DWS): An all-scenario cloud data warehouse, now upgraded to a serverless architecture with multiple industry-leading features.

The summit also served as a platform for sharing global financial practices in digital transformation and cloud-native innovations.

Justin Chen, CTO of Bank Neo Commerce (BNC), the largest digital bank in Indonesia, shared his thoughts on building a digital bank with Huawei Cloud. He said that the company's digital bank services are fully backed by the elastic cloud resources. Their product iteration and rollout become faster, from months to days, and a more agile product portfolio allows them to meet the changing market needs. Running on Huawei Cloud, BNC witnesses a 10-fold increase in digital banking users to 23 million within nine months, who now enjoy seamless, convenient service experience.

Liu Bo, Deputy Director of the System Department under Data Center of Agricultural Bank of China (ABC), shared how ABC built a "1+4" cloud native platform for both stable and agile services. The one goal is 100% containerization.

Bai Jiong, Senior Data Warehouse Architect of China Merchants Bank (CMB), shared CMB's practices in exploring data value and driving business growth through cloud data warehouses. They built a hyperscale global financial core data warehouse on GaussDB(DWS) through joint efforts with Huawei, decoupled the data warehouse requirements of different services, and ensure smooth, stable data analytics for everyone, laying a solid foundation for digital CMB.
