CornerStone Telephone Company, a provider of advanced communications services, is now working with Verizon Global Wholesale to provide cloud-computing services to CornerStone’s business customers.
Under the agreement, CornerStone will resell an enterprise-class cloud service from Terremark, Verizon’s IT services subsidiary.

"CornerStone’s reseller agreement with Verizon bolsters our already robust portfolio of advanced business information technology and cloud solutions," said Don Walsh, chief technology officer, CornerStone. "This addition to our portfolio will enable CornerStone to meet customer demand with a proven cloud platform that meets customers’ connectivity, redundancy, security and support requirements."
Specifically, CornerStone will resell Terremark’s Enterprise Cloud, a Web-based service that provides a self-managed dedicated pool of computing resources. The service is currently supported by data centers in North America, Latin America and Europe. The new cloud service joins CornerStone’s broad portfolio of reliable business communications solutions, including telephony, Internet, Web hosting, data center services, and cloud-based applications, such as hosted desktop, email encryption, e-commerce and customer relationship management.
