CUPERTINO, Calif., May 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, today kicked off ICT Nation 2013 – a three day partner summit, where senior executives will share strategies for serving the emerging market for Information Communications Technology (ICT) in the Enterprise. ICT Nation 2013 is the latest milestone in Huawei's broader "ICT Nation" campaign to engage the growing community of Enterprise users, IT professionals, channel partners, OEMs, and industry experts who share a common interest in blending the tsunami of mobility-related technologies with traditional data center infrastructure.

"Partners need an alternative to traditional Enterprise IT technologies and partnerships," said Jane Li, Chief Operating Officer, Huawei Enterprise USA.

ICT Nation will provide a better way for global enterprises to tap into the opportunities presented by the rise of cloud computing and ICT convergence."

With its proven leadership in the carrier, device and enterprise markets, Huawei is in a unique position to help IT professionals forge broad ICT strategies that integrate more cost-effective cloud-based IT infrastructure with the type of communications network infrastructure that only carriers were concerned with in the past. With innovative ICT solutions, Huawei and its partners are ideally positioned to help customers take control of wireless and mobile technologies, which are flooding the enterprise.
