Verizon’s business services arm is branching out into new territory: cloud storage. This new service, launching in the beginning of July, will complement other services already offered such as Computing as a Service and Online Backup.
The service will have to compete against a number of similar offerings from the likes of Amazon (S3), Google (GDrive) and Microsoft (SkyDrive). Procing has not been announced yet, but from the language in the press release I guess this will be priced as a “premium” service:
Verizon Cloud Storage, available in the U.S. and 16 countries around the globe beginning in July, offers an enterprise-class experience. Key features include strong physical and logical security such as secure multitenant file system and encrypted data transfers. The new service supports multiple methods for accessing stored data, including software, application programming interfaces and third-party applications, and offers enterprises the option to select where data is stored.
The system is backed by a Nirvanix “Storage Delivery Network”, and will be accessible from the US and 16 additional countries. Verizon is also adding other services such as Data Discovery and Retention Policy Assessments and Data Retention Policy Development.
