Public cloud service

CenturyLink has had a presence in Australia since 2002, and is planning to deploy its public cloud service in the country later in 2015.

CenturyLink’s Asia Pacific manager said that the move shows the company’s commitment to serving customers in the region.

Gery Messer said: “We are eager to offer our managed hybrid IT services and consistent IT experience to multinational corporations in Australia, one of the most connected countries in the world.”
