About Huawei
Huawei is a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider. Through our unwavering dedication to customer-centric innovation and strong partnerships, we have established remarkable end-to-end capabilities across carrier networks, enterprise, consumer, and cloud computing. Our products and solutions are deployed in over 170 countries, serving more than one-third of the world’s population.
European Research Institute
With 28 sites across Europe and a team of 2000 researchers, Huawei’s European Research Institute (ERI) oversees both fundamental and applied technology research, academic cooperation projects, and strategic technical planning across our extensive network of European R&D facilities. The Zurich Research Centre (ZRC), located in Zurich, Switzerland, is a core component of the ERI. A significant focus of ZRC is a new research laboratory dedicated to developing the first generation of composable-native computing infrastructure, emphasizing the unification of scale-up and scale-out fabrics.
The research conducted in this lab will involve not only Huawei’s internal research staff but also our academic research partners from universities throughout Europe. This lab aims to provide an "open research environment" that encourages academic collaboration, allowing researchers to engage in fundamental long-term studies alongside Huawei staff in an atmosphere that promotes scientific exploration akin to leading universities and research institutions.
