Telecom Egypt partners with Huawei to launch Egypt’s first Huawei Public Cloud Service

Telecom Egypt, the foremost telecommunications provider in Egypt, has forged a strategic alliance with Huawei Cloud to launch Huawei’s inaugural public cloud platform based in Egypt. This initiative is aimed at propelling the nation’s digital transformation agenda forward.

According to reports, Telecom Egypt’s data centers will serve as the host for the new public cloud platform, which is poised to extend its reach to over 60 countries worldwide. This global connectivity will be facilitated by Telecom Egypt’s extensive network of over 14 submarine cable systems, a number that is projected to increase to 18 by the year 2025.

The partnership aligns with Telecom Egypt’s overarching strategy to position Egypt as a leading regional hub for cloud computing and digital services. By leveraging its robust network infrastructure and industry expertise, Telecom Egypt plans to seamlessly integrate Huawei Cloud solutions into the existing technological landscape, ensuring a smooth transition and effective management of the new services.

Huawei Cloud touts a comprehensive suite of scenario-based solutions and over 240 advanced professional services. These offerings encompass the entire spectrum of cloud engagement, including the construction, migration, utilization, and management of cloud resources, catering to the diverse needs of businesses looking to harness the power of cloud computing.

Huawei Cloud is committed to providing Egyptian businesses with a secure and dependable cloud environment, which will enable them to concentrate on innovation and growth rather than on managing IT infrastructure.

Over the past two decades, Huawei has established a significant presence in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) regions. The company’s latest cloud initiative with Telecom Egypt is anticipated to further solidify Huawei’s reputation as a company that is responsive to the dynamic needs of these markets.

The introduction of this new public cloud will grant businesses in Egypt, spanning a variety of sectors, seamless access to cutting-edge cloud solutions. These solutions are poised to propel advancements in e-commerce, live streaming, and the sharing economy, among other areas.

Furthermore, the launch of the cloud platform is expected to generate employment opportunities for the youth in Egypt, as well as in several other countries across North, West, and Central Africa, contributing to the region’s economic development and technological progress.

Mohamed Nasr, the Managing Director (MD) and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Telecom Egypt, has highlighted the importance of the collaboration with Huawei Cloud, describing it as a pivotal achievement in their mission to equip businesses with state-of-the-art technological capabilities. He emphasized that Telecom Egypt’s hosting services will facilitate comprehensive network access within Egypt, thereby bolstering business operations and furthering Telecom Egypt’s aspiration to evolve into a prominent international digital hub, supported by its interconnected ecosystem.
