ZTE forges open and inclusive intelligent computing ecosystem to drive innovation

The global digitalization process has acceleratedsignificantly, driven by the computing power revolution. Within thistransformation, cloud computing and artificial intelligence (AI) have evolvedfrom being optional technologies for enterprises to becoming the core enginesof digital transformation. According to forecasts by statistical agencies, theglobal cloud computing market is expected to exceed the $1 trillion mark by2026, with AI-related cloud services contributing over 40% of the growthmomentum.

As a global leader in integrated information andcommunication technology solutions, ZTE is fully embracing AI and making it oneof its core strategies,  accelerating itsevolution from "all-connectivity" to "connectivity andintelligent computing", and building momentum for sustainable futuregrowth.

Wang Quan, Vice President of ZTE, said: "Spanning the full stack intelligent computingsolution - from core infrastructurefor AI model training and inference, through AI development tool chains, to ready-to-deploy applications - we deliver a fully integrated, end-to-end AI ecosystem.This cutting-edge solution, comprising an open intelligent computinginfrastructure and a low-code AI platform, delivers seamless downwardcompatibility while ensuring upwardadaptability to mainstream AI models. By offering diversified computing power and flexible AI models, ZTE empowersclients to build an open intelligentcomputing ecosystem—driving next-generation AI innovation with agilityand scalability."

On the hardware front, ZTE has rolled out high-performancetraining servers, cost-efficient inference servers, all-in-one AI computingsolution, as well as general-purpose computing server seriesandhigh-performance storage solutions, empoweringinclusive AI adoption through diversified infrastructure solutions.Leveraging its expertise in networkinterconnectivity, the solution enables ultra-efficient communication within chips, between chips, amongservers, and across data centers—while ensuring global orchestration of computing resources. 

ZTE's low-code AI platform, withintuitive navigation-style training & inference, significantly lowers thetechnical barrier for AI large model deployment. To accelerate AI innovation,the platform comes with Co-Sight agent factory - an advanced framework for AIagent development. The flagship Co-Sight super agent, engineered through this platform, hasachieved industry-leading performance with a record-breaking 84.05 score on the GAIA benchmark, ranking #1 among all open-sourceframeworks. Building uponhigh-performance AI hardware, ZTE further unleashes computing potential throughsoftware algorithm innovation and engineering optimization. 

Wang Quan highlighted, "Our full-stack intelligent computing solution has become a transformativeforce across industries, empowering digital transformation at scale. With over1,000 leading industry partners and deep penetration across more than 18 verticalsectors, we have achieved five consecutive years of exponential growth incomputing revenue, demonstrating unparalleled market traction and technologicalleadership in the AI era." 

ZTE's server and storage solutions have now been deployedacross 105 countries and regions globally, with total shipments surpassing310,000 units in 2024. As of the first half of 2025, the company has achievedremarkable 200% year-on-year growth in global market revenue. Significant bulkshipments have been recorded across the markets including Japan, South Korea,Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Turkey, Kazakhstan and Algeria.

The emergence of AI-enhanced industry solutions, become theprimary mechanism for enterprises to unlock potential business value from cloudcomputing. By 2027, more than 70% of enterprises will use industry cloudplatforms to accelerate their business initiatives, up from less than 15% in2023, according to a Gartner forecast report. To capture the opportunities of theirfast-changing business environment, enterprises are turning to industry cloudplatforms that provide digital empowerment for their industry.

"ZTE has maintained long-term strategic investments incloud computing, developing comprehensive capabilities spanning computing,storage, networking, and cloud software. ZTE has earned widespread recognitionin the telecommunications industry for its proven expertise in CT cloudsolutions, while actively expanding our portfolio of industry cloud offerings.By fully leveraging ZTE's strengths in hardware and integration servicesalongside partner's cloud platform and ecosystem advantages, the jointlydeveloped solutions have successfully expanded to global markets." WangQuan emphasized.

ZTE has partnered with one of the world's leading digitalpayment and financial platforms to deliver financial cloud and SuperAppsolution in Algeria and Ethiopia. The solution utilizes ZTE's high-performanceservers with financial-grade security and reliability, offering one-stopfinancial cloud for customers, with end-to-end eWallet and digital bankbuilt-in one unified platform. It helps to explore digital financial solutionsto deliver faster and more reliable services to end users.

Looking ahead, the integration of AI and cloud computing isdriving a paradigm shift in technology, transforming computing power from aresource supplying platform into an intelligent innovation engine. Wang Quanstated, "It reflects a key trend where cloud platforms are embedding AI toautomate operations, optimize resources, and enable real-timeanalytics—evolving from passive infrastructure to active, intelligent systemsthat fuel innovation across industries."

ZTEis poised to harness the disruptive potential of artificial intelligence by investingon intelligent computing, accelerating industry-wide digital and intelligenttransformation in collaboration with indus.
