back to article This is why Huawei's cloud is not like Amazuregoo

The jargon changes, and the rhetoric can get ecstatic, but Huawei’s Cloud adventure is really just a highly elaborate way of saying “please upgrade your network”. Which is sensible advice anyway.

    Another Huawei puff piece?

    How much is el-reg being paid for this?

      I don't see anything wrong with El Reg reporting what a large industry player has to say. Indeed, the article isn't fawning, it seems to cast doubts on some of the Huawei statements. IMHO, "Do not make apps. Do not Touch Data. Make Box Simple. Make Platform Open." sounds a bit too much like "don't differentiate, just sell in bulk", which would seem to be opening yourself to attack from the white box vendors. As the experience of IBM shows, the best margin is in the software and services, not the hardware platform, hence IBM's rapid exiting of the x64 market.

      This is not a paid-for piece.

      This is a serious point: unless an article says otherwise, none of our articles are sponsored. This week we'll run three short messages sponsored by Huawei, each at 1200 midday Australia (0200 UTC), pointing people to the Chinese giant's Connect event and encouraging them to take a look. Those three pieces are labelled as promotional and sponsored, and are separate from editorial. They run alongside Huawei ads.

      Please, please don't confuse clearly labelled paid-for messages with articles produced independently by journalists.

    Spelling mistake, hmm

    But it isn’t quite so simple. Huawei operates a cloud in China – outside China it partners to *buld* the nuts and bolts for enterprise and telcoms clouds. ...
