CANBERRA, Australia, April 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- To meet the growing demand of its government and enterprise customers, Verizon has doubled the capacity of its Fyshwick data center in Canberra. Verizon now has more than 75,000 square feet of data center floor space in Australia, divided among centers in Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra. The Fyshwick expansion is the latest example of Verizon's ongoing investments to make advanced IT solutions available to global customers.
Verizon's network incorporates more than 200 data centers strategically located in 24 countries around the world. The Fyshwick facility delivers a broad range of services including co-location, managed security services, secure gateway, virtual hosting, secure Internet gateway and identity management services, and connects to the federal government's ICON fiber network.
