DEVELOPING COUNTRIES JOSTLE TO PURCHASE HUAWEI DATA CENTERS
A recent study shows that since 2006, many developing countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America have signed agreements with Huawei to provide cloud infrastructure and e-government services. The report released by the Washington think tank Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) shows that from 2006 to April this year, Huawei has concluded 70 deals on such services with relevant institutions or enterprises in 41 countries.
Cloud infrastructure usually refers to the deployment of data
centers. In addition, e-government services mainly involve automated management
functions for approval, medical care, legal records, and other government
affairs.
The study stated: “Huawei’s cloud infrastructure and
e-government services are processing data such as healthcare, taxation, and
legal records.”
Most of the countries that have signed such agreements with
Huawei are located in sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Huawei said
in a statement: “As a cloud infrastructure and service provider, our customers
own and fully control all customer data…Network security and user privacy
protection remain Huawei’s top priorities,” the company adds.

especially in China. The International Data Corporation (IDC), Huawei’s
e-Government cloud tops in China in 2017. According to Huawei, it regularly
customizes its e-Government cloud to ensure that it meets customers’

e-Government cloud meets security and stability requirements using
international standards. Furthermore, its cloud service permits service
