MONROE, La., Aug. 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- For organizations seeking to gain greater IT agility, edge computing is emerging as a necessity that bridges the "compute divide" between on-premises IT and the public cloud core. Today, CenturyLink, Inc. (NYSE: CTL) is announcing a major step in linking public cloud efficiencies to private cloud and edge-connected computing solutions.
CenturyLink is announcing five major enhancements to CenturyLink® Private Cloud on VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) at VMworld 2019 in San Francisco. These new upgrades, which come on the heels of CenturyLink's recent announcement of edge compute services, enable businesses to expand their use of distributed compute resources while maintaining the reliability, security, and performance of dedicated software-defined infrastructure. The latest enhancements include:
"These latest upgrades are great examples of CenturyLink's innovation to give our customers more ways to tap into the power of the software-defined data center and our robust global network," said Paul Savill, senior vice president, product management, CenturyLink. "For workloads that don't fit cleanly into a public cloud environment, or workloads that require greater proximity to the network edge, our private cloud portfolio enables the enterprise to address these use cases with agility and efficiency."
