To meet the growing demand from enterprises for help maximising IT environments, communications and IT solutions provider Verizon Business is expanding its already robust portfolio of global professional consulting services.

The company has announced that seven additional IT consulting services that address the need for global enterprises to optimise the performance of applications operating on their networks and to securely store the growing volume of corporate data. The new professional application-assessment and storage services - available in the United States, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region - will be delivered by specially trained and experienced consultants.

IT performance is taking on new meaning in today’s challenging business environment, said Kerry Bailey, senior vice president - global services, Verizon Business. “Rather than just hoping their IT environment will perform optimally, companies need to be proactive in managing their applications and ensuring critical company data is stored appropriately for safekeeping and retrieval. Through our expanded portfolio we are helping companies do all this securely and without missing a beat.”

Through the company’s new standardised suite of Network Application Assessment professional services, customers can easily address periodic local area network (LAN) and wide area network (WAN) performance issues that can slow down the delivery of applications to corporate users. These new application-assessment services, which offer customers the ability to reactively or proactively review the health of their applications and networks and identify potential areas for remediation, are:
- Critical Business Problem Resolution
- Application Infrastructure Analysis
- Network Health Assessment

More and more enterprises need ways to manage and store data in an increasingly information-driven world. Verizon Business industry experts can help organisations assess existing storage configurations as well as design and build new storage solutions that help them meet their IT requirements and data storage regulations. The four new consulting services are:
- Storage Assessment
- Database Assessment and Design
- Database Backup/Replication Assessment
- Storage Integration

All Verizon Business storage consulting and management services are delivered by professionals certified and trained in storage technologies, including EMC-certified engineers, who can implement and develop infrastructure and tools for management.
