Verizon has taken their first big steps and revealed their big plans in the cloud hosting space. It’s going after them very fast because it acquired Terremark for $1.4 billion, though that deal has yet to close.
In an interview with Data Center Dynamics, Verizon regional VP of Enterprise, Cloud and IT Services for Europe, David Howorth, said the company is already laying out plans to capitalize on the scale – in data center space and networking – that the acquisition will bring to the company.
Verizon’s cloud computing capabilities applied to Terremark’s data center infrastructure, he says, will enable the company to introduce a full set of cloud computing services.
“We will now be able to couple our computing infrastructure with the cloud colocation space to deliver a full solution for the client,” Holworth told Data Center Dynamics.
