Canonical is joining Huawei Connect Shanghai 2026 to showcase how open source infrastructure can help organizations build sovereign AI environments, modernize cloud infrastructure, strengthen security, and optimize costs. Our experts will be on-site to demonstrate key solutions and highlight the continued collaboration between Canonical and Huawei.
About our participation
Our presence at Huawei Connect Shanghai will highlight the integration of Canonical’s open source enterprise technologies with Huawei’s hardware portfolio, enabling organizations to build secure, high-performance infrastructure without vendor lock-in.
- Native certification: Ubuntu will be certified on Huawei TaiShan servers (Kunpeng SoC), providing high concurrency and performance-per-watt for power-hungry AI.
- Secure AI inference: Ubuntu enables secure, efficient AI inference workloads on Huawei Kunpeng servers, helping enterprises optimize performance and energy efficiency for continuous, autonomous AI applications.
- Optimized telco cloud: We are showcasing a verified telco private cloud architecture with network functions virtualization infrastructure (NFVI) that seamlessly combines Canonical OpenStack with Huawei OceanStor.
Our experts will showcase how these technologies come together across different use cases:
- Open source for AI governance: Gain digital governance and control over your data by running open source infrastructure on Huawei hardware. This approach ensures localized, strictly controlled AI systems with multi-model flexibility and autonomy over your software supply chain.
- Cloud infrastructure with OpenStack: Build highly available, cloud-native telco clouds or large-scale private clouds using Canonical Charmed OpenStack. This solution provides economical, bottom-up infrastructure automation with native optimization for Huawei’s Kunpeng processors.
- Comprehensive security with Ubuntu Pro: Protect your open source stack with enterprise-grade features. We will showcase how Ubuntu Pro delivers comprehensive security maintenance, simplifies compliance, and provides up to 15 years of continuous support.
