"Information and communications technology (ICT) has changed the traditional enterprise resource planning (ERP) concept. To help enterprises reshape and simplify their on-demand process and real-time operations, we need to restructure IT infrastructure for accelerating the Internet of Things and big data applications," said Qiu Long, General Manager of IT Server Product Domain, Huawei. "With our long history of delivering innovative ICT products, complemented by our work with SAP in support of its enterprise business software, we believe the FusionServer RH8100 for SAP S/4HANA will create a highly efficient IT infrastructure and hybrid cloud service, and will greatly promote enterprise operation and management efficiencies for customers."
