Telefónica Tech reinforces its presence in the USA and extends its ‘Virtual Data Center’ service in the country with the implementation of a new node in Ashburn (Virginia).
This new infrastructure is added to the node that the company already operates in Miami (Florida) and the rest that it has distributed globally in Spain (Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao and Sevilla), Colombia (Bogota), Peru (Lima), Chile (Santiago), Argentina (Buenos Aires) and Brazil (Sao Paulo and Curitiba).
VDC is Telefónica Tech’s self-managed Cloud, based on VMWare technology, which offers comprehensive communications and security services and enables companies to host applications in a secure environment. The VDC service allows hybrid environments to be created at a predictable cost from private clouds located in the customer’s own facilities (on premise) or from Telefónica’s own data centres.
The deployment of this second node in the USA will allow Telefónica Tech to reinforce its virtual private cloud service in the country with a complete offering that includes additional security tools. The VDC proposal includes a self-managed service to recover the activity of businesses that have lost data or functionalities as a result of a security incident (‘Disaster Recovery’), as well as backup mechanisms, access protection systems through Multifactor Authentication (MFA) and other security measures (anti-malware, firewall, intrusion prevention, among others).
Telefónica Tech USA , headquartered in Miami, Florida, has been providing Cybersecurity and Cloud services in the USA since 2021. The support of Telefónica Tech’s global network of highly qualified professionals allows Telefónica Tech to provide operations 24 hours a day, every day of the year and to take advantage of existing opportunities in the USA, the world’s leading market for Cloud and Cyber Security businesses, with a size of 539 billion dollars and where North America represents 47% of the market.
