Customer case studies
Starzplay, an OTT platform in the Middle East and Central Asia, migrated to a serverless architecture with Huawei Cloud CCI to handle traffic spikes during the 2024 Cricket World Cup, reducing resource costs by 20% while processing millions of access requests.
Singapore-based logistics provider Ninja Van has fully containerised its services with CCE, creating a cloud-native AI architecture that improved order processing efficiency by 40% while maintaining zero service interruptions during peak demand.
In Chile, power company Chilquinta Energía upgraded its big data platform using CCE Turbo, achieving a 90% performance improvement. Nigeria’s e-commerce leader Konga transitioned to a cloud-native CCE Turbo architecture, ensuring a smooth shopping experience for millions of active users. Meanwhile, China’s Meitu uses CCE with Ascend cloud services to manage AI computing resources for large-scale model training, serving 200 million monthly users in real time.
Cloud Native 2.0 meets AI
Huawei Cloud is now building AI-native infrastructure. In “Cloud for AI”, CCE AI clusters support CloudMatrix384 supernodes with features such as topology-aware scheduling, AI workload auto-scaling and ultra-fast container startups, aimed at accelerating AI training and inference.
AI is also embedded into Huawei Cloud’s services. Its CCE Doer tool integrates AI agents into container management, providing intelligent Q&A, recommendations and diagnostics. The company claims it can diagnose more than 200 critical exception scenarios with over 80% root cause accuracy.
With serverless computing continuing to gain traction, Huawei Cloud offers CCE Autopilot and CCI, as well as new general-computing-lite and Kunpeng general-computing serverless containers, which it says improve cost-effectiveness by up to 40% for traffic surges.
Huawei Cloud says it will “continue to partner with global operators to advance cloud-native technology innovations and share its successes,” aiming to drive digital transformation and build “a more inclusive, accessible, and resilient digital society.”
