Huawei's AI-Powered Framework at MWC Barcelona 2025

During the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona on March 5, 2025, Huawei launched its ambitious value proposition titled 'Beyond Digital, Resilience Empowers AI-Infused Finance.' This initiative unveiled a new framework, R-A-A-S (Reliability, Availability, Autonomy, and Security), powered by AI, designed to aid financial institutions in their digital transformation toward a more resilient infrastructure in an AI-centric era.

Transitioning to the AI Era in Finance

At the heart of Huawei’s announcement is Jason Cao, CEO of Huawei's Digital Finance Business Unit, who emphasized the unstoppable development of AI and its integral role in ongoing financial innovation. "The global finance sector is transitioning from a digital focus to an AI-focused approach," he stated. This shift is transforming essential financial operations, fundamentally altering the architecture of front, mid-, and back-office systems.

Yet, amidst these advancements lie unprecedented challenges for financial infrastructure, which must demonstrate resilience to successfully transition from merely digital to intelligently driven operations. According to Cao, it is essential to leverage AI opportunities for business innovation while simultaneously enhancing the reliability of foundational infrastructures.

Details of the R-A-A-S Framework

In his keynote address, Alvin Feng, Director of Global Marketing and Solution Sales at Huawei Digital Finance, introduced the R-A-A-S framework, which is grounded in the four objectives announced at MWC 2024: Zero Downtime, Zero Wait, Zero Trust, and Zero Touch. This new framework aims to establish a robust digital foundation for the financial sector. Its four core features include:

1. Reliability: This assures data preservation through multi-copy storage, real-time synchronization, and cross-domain coordination of storage, processing, and networking.
2. Availability: It minimizes service disruptions utilizing cell-based databases, microservice clusters, and multi-active cloud services, ensuring a system availability rate of 99.999%.
3. Autonomy: The framework promises to eliminate human errors while being capable of identifying, locating, and correcting faults swiftly.
4. Security: It implements a profound defense mechanism, ensuring rapid identification and containment of cyber threats for data security.

Huawei not only offers comprehensive design services for the R-A-A-S framework but also a full suite of product solutions—including computing, storage, networking, and cloud technologies. These innovations are engineered to equip financial clients with resilient infrastructures that thrive in an AI-driven landscape.
