Chinese tech giant Huawei has signed a new strategic partnership with Intel, the world’s largest processor maker.
Under terms of this agreement, both companies will augment their existing collaboration in new products, product R&D, and joint-marketing initiatives to drive the advancement of big data-related IT – mostly around storage.
However, the companies did not say that the agreement would preclude any other type of IT co-development, such as in big data analytics or networking – two hot areas of IT at the moment.
Huawei and Intel already have had a long-term cooperative relationship in building storage IT, which will serve as the basis for the new big data developmental work.
Huawei’s OceanStor 9000 big data storage system, which uses Intel’s high-end architecture, will serve as a foundational solution.
The OceanStor 9000 big data storage system is designed to provide high performance, scalability, and super-large single file system sharing for large, unstructured data workloads.
Intel didn’t respond immediately to a request for comment on the deal on 8 April.
