Verizon Business will launch an Asia-Pacific data centre for its computing as a service (CaaS) customers in the region and to address issues of latency, security and compliance.
Ray McQuillan, principal consultant at Verizon Business Global Services, could not name the location for the data centre, but said that it would launch in Q1 of the next calendar year.
“We know that the global coverage – and moving nodes over into the Asia-Pacific – is something on the calendar currently for 2010,” he said. “Right now the CaaS offer is available across the globe, but in terms of having a local presence in Asia-Pacific we have one Europe, one in the US, and another in APAC. That is something the market has been asking for and we have it on our roadmap.”
