Verizon Business Expands Global Datacentres For Cloud

Verizon Business is enhancing its datacentres around the globe. Within the next year, Verizon Business will expand its flagship cloud computing services suite– Computing as a Service (CaaS) – into centres in San Jose, Calif.; London; and Canberra, Australia.

As part of this infrastructure enhancement project, more than 5,500 additional server cabinets for enterprise clients also will be added to Verizon Business premium Internet datacentres in Paris, Dublin, London, Frankfurt, Belgium, Canberra, Hong Kong and throughout the U.S. The expansion further enables the delivery of private clouds via more than 200 global datacentres connected to Verizon’s MPLS network, Private IP.

These moves bring Verizon another step closer to achieving its “everything-as-a-service” (EaaS) vision of offering cloud-based solutions on an as-needed basis to enterprises around the globe.
