From Cloud Native to AI-Native: Huawei Cloud Gives Brazil a Better AI Choice
<p style="text-align: justify;">[São Paulo, Brazil, March 19, 2025] Huawei Cloud hosted an AI forum in São Paulo, bringing together over 200 Brazilian government and enterprise leaders, industry customers, technical experts, and developers to dive into AI development and trending topics, offering a new AI choice for local industries.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Huawei Cloud AI Strategy: A Better Way to Intelligent Industry Innovation</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Today, AI is changing everything. Countries and companies are putting AI as a core strategy, and have the chance to build their own models. AI is not a game of heavy costs. AI models can be optimized by leveraging the achievements from the open source community.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Mark Chen, President of Huawei Cloud Latin America, stressed that Huawei Cloud always puts AI as the company's core strategy, and by transitioning from cloud native to AI-native, Huawei Cloud leads the industry with non-stop innovation. Huawei Cloud defines AI-Native in two sectors. One is "AI for Cloud", which means they reshape and upgrade all Huawei Cloud services into intelligent ones. The other is "Cloud for AI", where Huawei Cloud aims to build the best platform, including compute architecture, data, model tools, and professional services, to accelerate the development of AI.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Raphael Bertozzi, CTO of Government industry of Huawei Cloud Brazil, shared thoughts and practices on transitioning from cloud native to AI-native. In this AI era, the foundation of achieving AI-native lies in being cloud native. Over the past few years, Huawei Cloud has focused on assisting businesses in effectively going to, using, and managing cloud through cloud native means. Building upon this foundation, Huawei Cloud is now advancing towards the next stages: constructing AI-native infrastructure, such as CloudMatrix and AI Cloud Service; developing AI-native cloud services, including databases, knowledge lakes, and software development pipeline; and offering AI models and tools for customers and partners to better train and run their AI models.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Huawei AI Cloud Service offers diverse, efficient, and stable compute for a wide range of industries, empowering businesses and developers to easily build their own AI applications. In addition to optimizing mainstream open-source models, this cloud service provides an extensive toolchain for application lifecycle development, eliminating the need for complex configurations and enabling out-of-the-box usability. A highlight of this summit was the demonstrations of quickly building AI applications on Huawei Cloud.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Now with Huawei Cloud AI Cloud Service, users are able to deploy DeepSeek locally in just two days, not two weeks, and reduce inference costs by 40%. For intelligent interaction, DeepSeek enables chatbots to understand precisely semantics and react accordingly to different users, ideal in high-concurrency use cases such as customer service, education, healthcare, and finance. For developers, DeepSeek empowers CodeArts, Huawei Cloud's software development pipeline, to boost the deployment efficiency by 20 times, reduce code defects by 70%, and automate programming through intelligent Q&A and code check. For knowledge management, DeepSeek and Huawei Cloud KooSearch help enterprises integrate business data to establish a unified intelligent knowledge hub. For operations, DeepSeek works with MetaStudio, Huawei Cloud's digital content production pipeline, to facilitate the development of 24/7 intelligent virtual human customer services.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Additionally, the executive director and product director from Eicon shared strategies and practices of their partnership with Huawei Cloud in the AI field, including aggregating and analyzing city data, mining value from legacy or outdated data, and building an intelligent city brain to support city managers in governance and decision-making.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">At the summit, Huawei Cloud also detailed on a series of flagship cloud services tailored for the Brazilian market, accelerating the adoption of cloud native solutions and paving the way for AI native transformation.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">AI Cloud Service, compatible with more than 100 mainstream models including DeepSeek and Llama, supports efficient, uninterrupted training of foundation models for up to 40 days and quickly rectifies faults within 10 minutes.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">GaussDB & TaurusDB: GaussDB's innovative three-layer pooling architecture enables layered and on-demand resource scaling, while its intra-city dual-cluster disaster recovery capability isolates software and hardware faults between clusters. The AI DevOps assistant automates 90% of fault diagnosis and rectification. TaurusDB, fully compatible with MySQL, requires zero refactoring for business system migration. Featuring AI-based serverless capabilities, TaurusDB is also the only serverless cloud service that supports write scaling.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">CloudDC Solution provides one-stop data center-to-cloud services, boosting three major capabilities: deterministic operations, cloud DC, and full-stack AI.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">DataArts, Huawei Cloud's data governance pipeline, has evolved into an AI-driven data foundation centered on knowledge, rather than data. This enables seamless conversion from data to knowledge and experience, supporting end-to-end intelligence and empowering enterprises to unlock the value of their data, operate intelligently, and make informed decisions.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Backup & Disaster Recovery Continuity Center Solution ensures seamless continuity across multiple layers, including management, application, host, and storage, as well as cloud data centers. It provides comprehensive coverage for three critical scenarios: cloud native backup and DR, IDC-to-cloud backup and DR, and cross-cloud DR. With advanced backup and DR capabilities, such as risk detection within seconds, rapid backup and recovery, and centralized management, this solution empowers businesses to create highly available architectures and safeguard their core data and applications.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Large Model Security Solution is an end-to-end solution that covers environment security, LLM corpus security and compliance, inference security and compliance, and unified security operations.</p>
