Huawei Cloud announced that its Huawei Cloud Stack achieved the highest overall score in the Hybrid Cloud Middle East and Pakistan Survey Results 2025 published by Omdia. The report revealed that Huawei Cloud Stack also received the highest scores in the Customer Service and Market categories, surpassing several global cloud providers.

According to the survey, Huawei Cloud Stack ranked first in four critical sub-categories. These include brand recognition and customer support, suitability for on-premises AI inference workloads, compliance with local regulations, and reliability and availability features. The independent evaluation confirmed Huawei Cloud Stack as one of the most trusted hybrid cloud platforms in the region.

Across the Middle East, countries such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar are accelerating digital transformation. Hybrid cloud has emerged as a key technology supporting this shift by combining public cloud scalability with on-premises data governance. Governments in the region have increasingly adopted hybrid cloud to strengthen digital sovereignty and support AI-driven innovation. Amid this shift, Huawei Cloud Stack has gained significant traction among public and private sector organizations.

Omdia reported that Huawei Cloud Stack received the highest score for brand recognition and customer support. Huawei Cloud operates five global operations and maintenance centers that provide 24/7 support to more than 5,500 customers across over 150 countries. This network covers more than 80 percent of the Middle East and Central Asia. Surveyed enterprises cited fast response times and local service delivery as key strengths.

• Huawei Cloud Stack supports over 100 on-premises cloud services
• The platform complies with regulations in Oman, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Pakistan
• It holds certifications including ISO and PCI DSS

Huawei Cloud Stack also demonstrated strong performance in reliability. Its intra-city dual-AZ architecture enables recovery point objectives measured in seconds and recovery time objectives of only minutes. Omdia validated these capabilities by awarding top scores for compliance with sovereign cloud requirements.

The report further noted that Huawei Cloud Stack ranked highest for suitability for on-premises AI inference workloads. Huawei Cloud Stack 8.6 integrates AI training, data management, and inference within a single system. This design supports applications such as financial risk control, smart city digital twins, and AI-assisted healthcare while keeping data on-premises.

At the infrastructure level, Huawei Cloud’s AI supernode architecture, also known as SuperPoD, supports local AI computing centers. Combined with ModelArts and GaussDB, the platform enables enterprises to build scalable and sustainable AI-native cloud environments.

Huawei Cloud reported continued collaboration with governments, telecom operators, and education institutions across the region. Through initiatives such as the Huawei ICT Competition, the company has trained more than 500,000 ICT professionals in the Middle East. This number is expected to exceed one million over the next decade.

As AI adoption expands across government, finance, energy, and other sectors, hybrid cloud is becoming a core digital infrastructure. Huawei Cloud stated that it will continue working with regional partners to support secure, compliant, and AI-ready cloud environments that contribute to long-term digital economic growth.
