Verizon expands its global enterprise network platform

Verizon has expanded its global enterprise network platform, enabling multinational corporations to take advantage of Verizon’s Private IP service in six additional African countries, as so then as Bahrain and Qatar in the Middle East.

The expansion will make it possible for Verizon clients with locations in these emerging markets to more effectively exchange data and global business applications and employ the company’s managed network and security solutions.

Leveraging the strengths of Verizon’s global multiprotocol label switching network and the reach of the company’s network alliance provider Vodacom Business in Africa, Verizon enterprise clients can add Private IP services to their offices in: Gabon on Africa’s western coast; Djibouti and Ethiopia on the Horn of Africa; Malawi and Zimbabwe in Eastern Africa; and Swaziland in the southern region.

In addition, Verizon professional consulting services can help clients in the region design and implement a networking solution tailored to their business requirements, the company said in a release.

Platform for research

“Verizon’s high-IQ networks are a platform for research, and the platform just got stronger with Private IP service coverage in Africa and the Middle East,” said Martin Burvill, vice president of enterprise sales for Europe, Middle East and Africa.

“This expansion furthermore demonstrates our commitment to this emerging region and meeting the evolving requirements of our multinational business and government clients.  Expansive network services like Verizon’s Private IP will play a central role in creating global connections between people, machines and their environments, and contributing to business and societal progress,” Burvill added.

Verizon Private IP clients benefit from six classes of service, and latency-sensitive applications, just as VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) and video, receive priority over less time-sensitive applications just as email, the company stated.

Comprehensive portfolio of managed network services

Verizon delivers a comprehensive portfolio of managed network services, managing more than 300,000 security, network and hosting devices across more than 4,200 customer networks spanning 142 countries and territories, all backed by industry-leading service-level agreements.

Every wireless operator has strategies and processes in place to attract and retain enterprise clients. A carrier without a clear vision for every type and size of business is leaving money on the table, in substance letting its competitors gain influence and power.

The continuous demand for every-increasing speeds

The continuous demand for every-increasing speeds and capacity for broadband is causing carriers and cable companies to dramatically shift their network strategies.
