Telecommunications company Telefónica, in collaboration with Cisco and VCE, has launched Virtual Hosting 2.0, a cloud hosting service in Latin America for the corporate market segment.
Virtual Hosting 2.0 is a tailored cloud computing service offered regionally supported by the VCETm Vblock platform, which implements a single global architecture for the cloud that can scale and evolve the service evenly throughout the region.
New cloud hosting service offers IT resources as a tailored service in the cloud and on-site to companies and governmental entities and offers the benefits of an advanced virtual service, such as elasticity, fast provision in case of new company needs, private access to the network and end-to-end management.
It provides transition to cloud computing, which allows customers to gain flexibility in their infrastructure.
The new service will be offered from five interconnected data centres in Latin America, with integrated management and provision.
These data centres are in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Peru, and from there they can also provide service to the rest of Latin American countries where Telefónica operates.
EMC Latin America vice president Octavio Osorio said with the new 2.0 Virtual Hosting service many more customers in the region will join cloud computing, ensuring their technological and competitiveness in the market.
