Verizon Launches Actifio-Powered Data Backup Service
May 12, 2016
Verizon, elbowing itself into the cloud services market against Amazon, IBM Softlayer, Microsoft, Google and a raft of others, is adding new enterprise-level functionality to its features lineup.
The latest is data backup with an intentional emphasis on copy data management. The giant telecom’s Enterprise Solutions division revealed May 11 that it has joined with Boston-based storage provider Actifio to launch its new cloud backup service.
This service will support customers using virtualized infrastructures—including a combination of co-location, hosting, off-premises servers and other public clouds—to enable a unified hybrid cloud environment in which data is easy to manage and protect, Verizon said.
