Verizon Cloud Storage is object storage designed for enterprise cloud workloads to quickly and securely store and retrieve large and diverse data sets. Amplidata's Himalaya architecture provides a new framework for massively-scalable storage, designed from the ground up to address demanding cloud applications and provide service-level flexibility for businesses looking to optimize their cloud resources. With Himalaya, customers can easily store and manage zettabytes of data and trillions of stored objects, representing a geometric leap in scale that anticipates rapid growth in customers' appetite for highly durable and available storage. "Verizon understands the needs of its diverse enterprise customers, and laid out the demands for a storage architecture that supports its vision of a complete enterprise-level cloud offering," said Mike Wall, CEO of Amplidata. "Himalaya is the architecture that brings that vision to life and helps Verizon renew its leadership as the cloud provider for enterprises large and small."

Himalaya is a core component of Verizon Cloud Storage that manages the distributed storage process to help reduce latency.
