February 5, 2008 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Telecommunications provider Verizon Business (verizonbusiness.com) announced on Monday that it has begun offering a virtualization service to its enterprise customers. Verizon Business says with its new managed virtualization service, businesses can seamlessly provide applications to users with the same reliability as the traditional one-application-to-a-server model.

Verizon says the launch of this new service follows three years of supporting VMware ESX Server in a staging and development environment. Verizon Business has now deployed a shared VMware Virtual Center management infrastructure to configure and operate a virtualized environment. Customers can also tap into the complete VMware Infrastructure product suite, which includes VMware VMotion, VMware High Availability and VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler.

"Verizon Business is all about empowering our customers," says Michael Marcellin, VP of product marketing for Verizon Business. "With our newest virtualization option, customers can run leaner and meaner, while out-tasking the management of these complex environments. What's more, this offering can even help companies to be 'greener,' which is a big plus in today's eco-friendly business environment."

Verizon Business virtualization service, backed by service level agreements of up to 99.9 percent for availability and uptime, is immediately available in the US.

Last week, Verizon began supporting the California Broadband Task Force's measure for 'next-generation' networks, as it anticipates future fiber, wireless and broadband business challenges.
