Savusubu, responsible for AI model development, cloud services and data center solutions, began restructuring on Friday, consolidating several key divisions to prioritize AI-related businesses.
It remains unclear how many employees will be affected by the change, one source said, as many people may have the opportunity to move internally.
Huawei Cloud Business Unit said daily on Monday that the restructuring aims to “continue to create more sophisticated and valuable cloud services for customers through software and hardware collaboration and architectural innovation,” adding that it will invest more resources into the AI and computing industry.
The changes were announced internally by Zhang Pingan, CEO of Huawei's Cloud Unit. According to a report from China's news portal Sina.com on Saturday, the core operations of the cloud unit will be streamlined into six divisions including computing, storage, databases and cybersecurity after the improvements.
According to Sina, the restructuring is part of the unit's efforts to achieve profitability following losses last year.
Huawei did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Monday.
