The Huawei-Telus Innovation Centre for Enterprise Cloud Services opened today at Carleton University in Canada. The centre was created through a $1.4 million investment made by Huawei and the mobile network operator, Telus.

The centre, located in Carleton's new engineering building, will be a venue for performing research in cloud computing.

"This initiative will enable Carleton to work with a growing number of innovators in the field of cloud computing research," says Ibrahim Gedeon, Telus Chief Technology Officer. "The centre, supported by Telus and Huawei, will be a vital element of not only academia in Canada but with our industry in helping to develop the most advanced cloud technology and services, ultimately benefitting the consumer and business alike."

Many of these students, along with faculty from Carleton's Faculty of Engineering and Design and representatives from Huawei Canada and Telus, were on-hand at the opening to discuss the importance of cloud technologies and the research projects they are launching in the centre.
