Huawei, the Chinese electronics giant, has recently announced a new collaboration. The company will be working with Sberbank, which is Russia’s largest bank, to develop cloud services in the country for business endeavors.
For those unaware, Huawei is a lot more than just a consumer electronics brand and is well known in the telecommunications industry as well, being a leading figure in 5G networking. Through the collaboration with Sberbank, Huawei plans on building a cloud computing service for Russian businesses.
The service is called SberCloud.Advanced and will target clients that are small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs) and even start ups. In other words, the cloud services are not directly targetted towards customers but through clients that might use their services in the country. These clients will have access to 37 new cloud services servers which will be integrated into a single streamlined system.

According to Wang Wei, Huawei’s Director General in Russia, the partnership with Sberbank is likely to notably advance Russia’s digital prospects. In other words, boost its e-commerce presence in a global sense. He also stated that “this partnership truly represents a landmark for the Russian cloud services market.” In recent years, the Sberbank has been steadily transforming itself into an online service provider alongside its banking services. Thus, it marks a bold shift, especially from a state run organization.
SberCloud’s Director General Evgeny Kolbin mentioned that “this is an exclusive offer for the market, consisting of interconnected cloud services complementing each other, which gives the client a single convenient approach to using these services, a variety of the most modern IT platforms, as well as built-in tools for monitoring and controlling the cloud infrastructure.”
In simpler terms, the interconnectivity and platform being provided is a major focus of the newly developing cloud service. Its implications are said to be broad and the infrastructure being provided will match modern IT platforms, with top notch technology and assistance from Huawei.
