Verizon Launches New Private Mobile Cloud Computing Services for Businesses with Microsoft Azure

In a recent press meet, Verizon, America's leading multinational telecommunications conglomerate, has announced that its most anticipated on-premises, private edge compute solution will now be available for its users. Verizon 5G Edge, in collaboration with Microsoft Azure Stack Edge, has launched this brand new cloud computing platform which will now make storage services easy.

The new cloud computing service will provide excellent customer premises for enterprises with increased efficiencies, robust security, and the low lag and high bandwidth feature required for various applications that primarily involve computer vision, AR & VR, and machine learning. With on-premise 5G and edge computing, enterprises can efficiently process information and improve actionable data-driven insights to gain end-to-end visibility across all processes.

Verizon is also working on 5G applications to leverage 5G Edge investments and provide its customers with tangible, material automation enhancements. This solution would allow many enterprises to assign overhead and indirect costs to specific customer accounts, pick and pack lines, and enhance efficiencies and improve competitiveness. Verizon with Microsoft will provide its customers with powerful compute and storage service capabilities with increased security.
