Huawei eyes greater role in Brazil data center market

RIO DE JANEIRO: Chinese tech giant Huawei is interested in strengthening and improving its capacity as a supplier of data center solutions, it said in a statement to Reuters on Thursday, clarifying that it did not intend to invest directly in data centers.

Reuters had reported on Wednesday that Huawei was interested in Brazil’s data center market but was waiting on the government to roll out a tax-break plan. “We want the government to implement these incentives, which are good for the country, and the time has to be now,” Atilio Rulli, Huawei vice president of public relations for Latin America and the Caribbean, told Reuters.
