Telecommunications firm Verizon has unveiled its Verizon Cloud service.
Verizon Cloud comprises Verizon Cloud Compute, an infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) platform, and Verizon Cloud Storage, a cloud-based object storage service. The offerings are designed to provide the agility and economic benefits of a generic public cloud with the reliability and scale of an enterprise-level service, according to the firm.
Cloud Compute enables virtual machines -- software-based computers and servers -- to be created and deployed in seconds; users build and pay for what they need, Verizon said.
Cloud Storage is an object-addressable, multitenant storage platform that provides storage accessible from anywhere on the Web, according to the company.
Verizon said it will launch the public beta for Verizon Cloud in the fourth quarter of this year.
