About Huawei
Huawei is a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider. Through our unwavering commitment to customer-centric innovation and strong partnerships, we have established robust end-to-end capabilities across carrier networks, enterprise, consumer, and cloud computing fields. 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 2000 researchers, Huawei’s European Research Institute (ERI) oversees fundamental and applied technology research, academic cooperation projects, and strategic technical planning across our network of European R&D facilities. Huawei’s ERI includes the Zurich Research Centre (ZRC), located in Zurich, Switzerland.
A major element of ZRC is a new research laboratory dedicated to exploring the first generation of composable-native computing infrastructure, focusing on the unification of scale-up and scale-out fabrics.
Research Environment
The research conducted in this laboratory will involve Huawei’s internal research staff and our academic partners from universities across Europe. The lab offers an “open research environment” where academics will be encouraged to collaborate on fundamental long-term research alongside Huawei staff, fostering a setting conducive to scientific advancement.
