Challenges

CTM is looking to set up a local cloud platform to help government and enterprise customers run both their internal and B2B applications, lower maintenance complexities and costs, and accelerate digital transformation. CTM aims to use a local cloud platform to lead and develop more smart solutions, drive converged development of local industries and those from the Greater Bay Area, pave a way for Digital Macao, and promote diversified economic development of Macao. However, there are some challenges they need to overcome while establishing a local cloud platform:

 

• The local cloud platform must meet Macao's requirement that data is not transferred outside Macao. It also needs to allow for on-premises access to public cloud services and upgrades of general PaaS (gPaaS) and AI DaaS services, in line with the Greater Bay Area's development goals included in China's 14th Five-Year Plan (2021–2025).

• The platform needs to address use cases of both internal and B2B businesses, with easier, less expensive maintenance. B2B businesses demand enterprise-class services and carrier-class reliability.

Solutions

  • Huawei Cloud provides the Huawei Cloud Stack solution for CTM, the sole local cloud service provider in Macao, to establish an on-premises cloud platform, CTM Cloud, which allows for access to public cloud services and ensures data is not transferred outside Macao. Backed by CTM's leading 5G technology, CTM Cloud leverages cloud-network synergy to introduce AI, big data, metaverse, and other cutting-edge technologies to companies in Macao. CTM Cloud continually inspires powerful technologies and smart applications to promote Digital Macao, with the help of Huawei Cloud Stack in the following ways:

    • Deployment: Huawei Cloud Stack, deployed at an enterprise's own data center, allows customers to access Huawei's public cloud services.

    • Ecosystem: Huawei Cloud Stack works with Huawei Cloud to set up a unified hybrid cloud ecosystem.

    • Experience: Huawei Cloud Stack delivers the same experience as Huawei public cloud in terms of usage, development, and management. Services can be smoothly migrated from the public cloud to Huawei Cloud Stack.

  • The CTM Cloud establishment consisted of three phases:

  • 1. A Huawei Cloud Stack Region was deployed in Macao, where cloud services including IaaS, container, storage, and security services as well as scenario-specific solutions, such as collaborative offices, smart culture and tourism, and digital finance, are available.

    2. PaaS services, database services like GaussDB from Huawei Cloud, major cloud partners, and Huawei Cloud's ecosystem were introduced to promote the establishment of industry-specific solutions.

    3. AI and other high-level PaaS services, such as Huawei KooMap and collaborative offices, were introduced. Using these services, companies in different industries of Macao can spur innovation and smoothly shift from cloud migration to diving into cloud. Plus, a disaster recovery center was built in Hong Kong (China) to enable remote disaster recovery and backup for the center in Macao.
