Verizon rolled out its first cloud computing service - Computing as a Service (CaaS) is available now in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa; Verizon will roll it out to Asia-Pacific customers in August, per Patrick Verhoeven, senior product manager of IT solutions at Verizon.
Key Differentiator
Verizon allows customers to run applications not only on virtual
servers but also physical ones, the resources of which are not shared with any
other application or customer. Customers can connect to CaaS through
a private network service the company offers, called Private IP, rather than
over the public Internet. Using CaaS, customers can manage their service through a console
that allows them to provision resources as they wish, which also means if they
decommission a resource, they will automatically stop being charged for it.
Companies can run applications either on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux or
Windows OSes.
