Microsoft pulls Huawei products from Azure Stack cloud server catalogue
- Chinese telecoms giant is one of several hardware vendors that make servers and equipment for the product
- Microsoft still not revealing whether it will rescind Huawei’s licence to use Windows operating system
Microsoft has removed Huawei Technologies from one of its websites offering cloud gear, a week after the US government blacklisted the Chinese company. The world’s largest software maker still will not comment on whether it is rescinding Huawei’s licence to use the Windows operating system.
On the Azure Stack product website, Huawei’s logo is still present on the main page but the company and its offerings have been removed from the product catalogue.
Huawei is one of several hardware vendors that make servers and equipment for Microsoft’s Azure Stack product, which helps companies run software applications on either a hybrid cloud service or in their own data centres.
The catalogue shows customers what servers and other hardware are available and compatible with Azure Stack.
Microsoft spokesman Frank Shaw has declined to discuss what actions Microsoft will take to comply with US restrictions on Huawei and he could not be immediately reached to comment on the catalogue change.
