Verizon is expanding its cloud services to the Asia Pacific region. The operator will launch its suite of enhanced cloud services to enterprises in Hong Kong, Melbourne and Singapore. The service will commence with its two public service offerings - Verizon Cloud Compute and Cloud Storage.
According to Verizon, the enhancements offer customers improvements in memory, storage and network uptime, as well as enhanced flexibility and control. Verizon Cloud customers can now request a specific amount of computing, memory and storage capacity, in addition to the existing preset virtual machine configurations. Customers also can benefit from Verizon's Secure Cloud Interconnect, which enables secure connections to six leading cloud service providers (Microsoft, Salesforce, Amazon, Google, HP and Verizon), and Verizon Cloud Marketplace, which provides a one-stop shop for software-based cloud resources that are certified to operate in Verizon’s cloud environments.
It’s not if enterprises are moving to the cloud, but when and how. Cloud has become the default delivery platform for almost all of our customers fueled by the growth of data and the Internet of Things. We continue to invest in our capabilities in the region to support consistent and predictable performance for mission-critical applications, as cloud deployments continue to grow in scale and scope. Our regional and global cloud data centers and global IP network, wrapped by our managed security services, offer companies a unique set of capabilities that is unmatched.
