"Verizon created the enterprise cloud, now we are recreating it. This is the revolution in cloud services that enterprises have been calling for.  We took feedback from our enterprise clients across the globe and built a new cloud platform from the bottom up to deliver the attributes they require.

Verizon Cloud Storage is an object-based storage service," said John Stratton, President, Verizon Enterprise Solutions.
