Huawei takes the 2nd spot in the global software-defined compute (SDC) market According to the latest 2017H2 SDC Software Tracker released by IDC.

In addition it continues to hold the top spot in China’s cloud system software (CSS) market, which shows customers’ growing confidence in Huawei’s FusionSphere cloud OS products, both in and outside of China.

Released on a semi-annual basis, IDC SDC Software Tracker provides accurate and timely market size, vendor share, and forecasts for hundreds of technology markets around the globe, supporting IDC clients’ decisions in the planning and management of their businesses.
