[HIB]Verizon Uses VMware for Enterprise Cloud Service

Verizon Business is tapping into the popularity of VMware technology with a cloud computing service designed to let customers easily move workloads between their own infrastructure and Verizon's cloud.With the new service, in trials now and due for general availability early next year, enterprises that use VMware will be able to shift workloads out to Verizon's CaaS (Computing as a Service) infrastructure and back again, the companies said. This could help organizations ease their way into cloud computing or take advantage of greater computing resources when necessary.Verizon introduced its first CaaS offering in June 2009. That service requires enterprises to commit to sending certain workloads to Verizon's cloud, because it's not as easy to move them over or get them back as with the new service, AT&T spokeswoman Janet Brumfield said. The earlier service will remain available.
