Verizon has expanded its cloud offering in Hong Kong, Melbourne and Singapore.
The new services are designed to meet the demand for secure, enterprise-grade cloud capabilities as opportunities for multinational companies in the region grow.
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 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.
“Cloud has become the default delivery platform for almost all of our customers fueled by the growth of data and the Internet of Things,” said Francis Yip, regional vice president at Verizon Asia Pacific.
Verizon operates nearly 50 state-of-the-art data centers around the globe, including 13 top-tier network access point facilities. Verizon facilities in Asia-Pacific include data centers in Australia (Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra), Hong Kong, Singapore and Japan.
