Huawei recently hosted the Huawei Intelligent IT Summit 2026 in Sri Lanka, gathering the nation’s leading CIOs, CTOs, enterprise technology leaders, and digital transformation decision-makers to explore the next generation of AI-ready digital infrastructure.
As Huawei’s flagship enterprise IT infrastructure event in Sri Lanka, the summit provided a platform for the ICT community to exchange insights on how artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and data-driven technologies are reshaping enterprise IT architecture and accelerating industry intelligence.
A key highlight of the summit was the unveiling of three next-generation infrastructure solutions designed to meet the growing demand for AI computing, high-performance data processing, and secure digital platforms:
OceanStor Dorado – a next-generation converged all-flash storage system engineered to power mission-critical enterprise workloads such as financial systems, databases, and core digital services.
OceanStor A800 – a high-performance distributed file storage platform built for AI workloads and large-scale data environments, enabling enterprises and research institutions to efficiently manage massive datasets while supporting AI model training, high-performance computing, and advanced analytics.
Atlas Intelligent Computing Platform – a foundation for mainstream AI adoption, providing high-performance computing capabilities for AI model development, large-scale training, and intelligent application deployment across industries.
Speaking at the event, Huawei Sri Lanka CEO Zhang Jinze highlighted the company’s commitment to bringing global innovation to the local market:
"At Huawei, we are very pleased to bring the best of our global technologies to Sri Lanka. We strongly believe that technology grows stronger through collaboration. By working together — industry, enterprises, technology partners, and innovators — we can create a digital ecosystem that supports economic growth and innovation."
Apple is enticing Google Workspace users to switch with the offer of free business email through its Apple Business Mail service
Apple is targeting Google Workspace users with the launch of its Apple Business Mail service as part of the new Apple Business suite.
Set to launch on April 14, replacing Apple Business Essentials, Apple Business allows companies to create email accounts alongside tools for calendar management and directories, supporting up to 500 users per organization. Companies can use custom domain names purchased externally or directly through Apple.
Each account includes the standard 5GB of iCloud storage, with optional upgrades up to 2TB per user for a monthly fee.
While the service integrates seamlessly with Apple Mail, it also supports any email client that uses IMAP, enabling compatibility with Windows and Android devices.
By combining email, calendars, directories, and device management, Apple Business offers an ecosystem comparable to Google Workspace and Microsoft 365.
A key differentiator is that Apple Business Mail is free to use, with costs applying only to domains or storage upgrades—a move likely to appeal to enterprises affected by Google’s gradual phasing out of free business email tiers.
