Verizon Business today introduced the industry’s most comprehensive on-demand, “cloud-based” Computing as a Service (CaaS) solution designed to meet the stringent security and performance requirements of enterprise customers.
This new offering helps businesses take advantage of cloud (IP-based) computing to more efficiently and securely manage IT computing resources – server, network and storage – to meet day-to-day business demands.
- CaaS – which leverages Verizon’s world-class global IP infrastructure and data centers – enables companies to use a Web-based portal to employ computing resources in the quantities and duration dictated by their business needs.
- As a result, businesses pay for the resources used and avoid having to build out for peak capacity requirements by buying new equipment and adding staff.
- Designed for mid-to-large-sized businesses, CaaS is ideal for new development projects, major events and migrations so that organization can easily and quickly shift IT resources as required. It is also well suited for businesses with seasonal demands such as retailers, companies holding annual benefit enrolments or sales promotions that drive incremental traffic to Web sites.
- Immediately available in the U.S. and Europe, this service will be rolled out to the Asia-Pacific region in August.
