H3C CEO Tony Yu: Marching Along the Path of Cloud & AI Native Towards Digital Native

When the physical world is increasingly integrated with the digital world, how should humankind view and visualize the future digital era?

H3C recently gave its answer to the grand question widely discussed in the current era at its annual NAVIGATE 2021 Summit by unveiling its Cloud & AI (artificial intelligence) Native strategy and launching new flagship products and solutions.

Forward-Looking Viewpoints on Cloud & AI Native

Tony Yu, CEO of H3C, delivered a speech titled “Smart Foresight for a Win-Win Future” at the keynote meeting of NAVIGATE 2021 Summit.

At the keynote meeting of the NAVIGATE 2021 Summit held on April 9, Tony Yu, CEO of H3C, announced the company’s Cloud & AI Native strategy and comprehensively updated “Digital Brain 2021”, and expounded on H3C’s insights into the concept of digital native and reflection on the value of digital native via a keynote speech titled “Smart Foresight for a Win-Win Future.”

The following are the highlights of Yu’s keynote speech.

H3C Viewpoint No.1: We Are in an Era When Digital Technologies Define the World and Software Defines the Future.

In the era when digital technologies define the world and software defines the future, everything in the physical world can be recorded, presented, and stored through digital means. In the future, the functions of products and user experience in the workplace and everyday life will be realized mainly via software.

H3C Viewpoint No.2: Digital Native = Innate Digital Architecture and Capabilities

The change from traditional electricity meters to digital ones has mirrored the replacement of manual work by software, thanks to the advancement of digital technologies. Digital native is one of the most important attributes in digital electricity meters, which, with innate digital capabilities, are designed to record and transmit digital information about electricity consumption. Making an analogy between a digital electricity meter and an organization, H3C believes that the future will witness competition between traditional organizations, or non-digital native organizations, and digital native organizations, and that the two kinds of organizations will differ significantly in product services, management model, business model, and user experience.

H3C Viewpoint No.3: Digital Native Organizations Have Natural Competitive Advantages over Traditional Organizations (Non-Digital Native Organizations). Traditional Organizations Will Be No Match for Digital Native Organizations if They Fail to Become Digital Native Timely.

Every organization should constantly strive to become digital native, which is also one of the most important goals of digital transformation and revolution. Even those organizations that are already digital native need to upgrade their architectures continuously. As the highest-level organization, country also needs to stride towards digital native to make the most of digital technologies in state governance and development.

H3C Viewpoint No.4: Cloud & AI Native Featuring Innate Cloud & AI-Based Architecture and Capabilities Is a Key to Becoming Digital Native.

With the popularization of digitalization, more and more data will flow from the physical world into the digital world. The endless flow of data can be efficiently processed with the combination of software-based AI and cloud architecture, which makes H3C believe that cloud and AI form the base of the digital world. By processing, using, and outputting data, cloud and AI help unlock the value of data that are truly useful to the physical world.
