Quanta Computer and Chunghwa Telecom (CHT) are scheduled to test their new cloud computing platform at CHT's R&D center in Taoyuan, Taiwan with Quanta to invite several software developers to participate the event.

Quanta has internally named the cloud computing system, Cloud Application Management Platform (CAMP), and expects to officially launch the system in 2011.

In addition to CHT, Quanta is also negotiating with other Taiwan-based telecom carriers such as Far EasTone Telecommunications (FET) and Taiwan Mobile for cooperation, and is also in touch with players in China.

Under the cooperation, Quanta is providing CHT both servers and storage equipment as well as assistance to establish a datacenter; meanwhile, Quanta is also providing the cloud computing platform for software developers to use and will share revenues with the developers.

Some market watchers believe the new cloud computing business including both hardware and software, will contribute 30% of Quanta's revenues in 2012, but Quanta declined to comment on the estimate.
