As global industries and lifestyles undergo profound digital transformation, ZTE is positioning itself at the forefront by embracing AI as a core strategic focus. Wang Quan, Vice President of ZTE, emphasizes the company’s evolution from connectivity provider to a leader in computing power, fueling sustainable future growth across sectors.
ZTE supports large-model AI applications with a full stack of computing infrastructure, including high-performance training and inference servers, AI all-in-one appliances, general-purpose computing servers, and advanced file storage. These solutions serve diverse deployment needs from data centers to edge nodes and have been deployed in over 105 countries, with shipments exceeding 300,000 units in 2024. This expansion has notably increased revenue, especially in emerging markets such as Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, while capturing market share in developed regions like Japan and South Korea.
The global cloud computing market is entering a new growth cycle, forecasted to surpass $1 trillion by 2026. ZTE’s long-term investments span computing, storage, networking, and cloud software, and the company partners with industry leaders like Alibaba Cloud and Virtuozzo to deliver comprehensive public, private, and resale cloud solutions. At CloudFest 2025, ZTE and Virtuozzo announced a hybrid hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) solution, integrating ZTE’s high-performance hardware with Virtuozzo’s software stack, targeting cloud providers and enterprises seeking flexible, cost-efficient cloud infrastructure.
Quan highlights that AI will fundamentally reshape the IT landscape from traditional hardware-software-cloud models to a new paradigm focused on intelligent computing hardware, computing services, model services, and AI applications. ZTE aims to harness AI’s transformative power by doubling down on intelligent computing infrastructure, collaborating with industry partners to accelerate digital and intelligent transformation globally.
