華爲表示去年歐洲企業業務增速快於中國
Chinese telecom equipment maker Huawei's enterprise business saw more growth in Europe last year than in its home market, the division's Chief Executive William Xu told The Wall Street Journal Monday in an interview at the CeBIT trade fair in Hannover.
中國電信設備生產商華爲技術有限公司(Huawei)企業業務首席執行長徐文偉(William Xu)週一在漢諾威舉行的CeBIT展會上接受《華爾街日報》(The Wall Street Journal)採訪時表示，去年華爲企業業務在歐洲的增長速度高於中國國內市場。The enterprise segment, Huawei's smallest, produces network gear for customers. The division posted 32% growth on the year in 2013, missing its 40% growth target, Mr. Xu said.
企業業務是華爲最小的業務部門，主要爲企業客戶生產網絡設備。徐文偉稱，企業業務2013年的增長速度爲32%，未達40%的增長目標。'The (2013) target was very ambitious to motivate staff', Mr. Xu said, but he maintained the division's target of reaching $10 billion in sales by 2017, four times the sales figure achieved last year.
徐文偉表示，2013年的目標定得很高，這主要是爲了激勵員工。但他堅持企業業務到2017年銷售額將達到100億美元的目標，這些對於去年銷售額的四倍。
Europe is crucial for the segment's growth strategy, Mr. Xu said, adding he considers Europe its most important market. Huawei competes with Cisco and Juniper, but has a weak position in the U.S., where the Chinese firm is virtually banned from selling network gear to telecommunication firms due to security concerns.
徐文偉稱，歐洲市場對企業業務的增長至關重要，並表示，歐洲是最重要的市場。華爲的競爭對手包括思科系統(Cisco Systems Inc. ,CSCO, 簡稱：思科)和瞻博網絡(Juniper Networks Inc. ,JNPR)，但華爲在美國市場處於劣勢。出於安全因素考慮，美國基本上禁止華爲向電信公司出售網絡設備。At CeBIT Tuesday, Huawei will launch its first memory server for use with SAP's real-time data analysis platform HANA. The server targets mainly western European and Asia Pacific markets. SAP's HANA platform reduces the time for analyzing large amounts of data.
華爲週二將在CeBIT展會上推出與SAP實時數據分析平臺HANA一起使用的首款服務器。該服務器的主要目標市場是歐洲和亞太地區。SAP的HANA平臺可以縮短海量數據的分析時間。In the interview Mr. Xu said, that Huawei's enterprise division will do better in 2014 than in the previous year, but didn't specify targets.
徐文偉在接受採訪時稱，華爲企業業務在2014年的表現將好於去年，但他沒有透露具體目標。He also said the division will raise its spending on research and development, which was $600 million in 2013, by 10%. 'But we will benefit also from research and development of overall Huawei, which allows us to have the most innovative products,' he said.
他還表示，企業業務今年的研發支出將比2013年的6.00億美元增加10%。但該業務還將受益於華爲的總體研發成果，這可以使企業業務推出最具創新力的產品。
