MONROE, La., Dec. 3, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Businesses are
seeking a better way to access, store and process data closer to
where it is being created and consumed, whether that is in a data
center, branch location, cloud environment or at the edge where
devices connect to the network. To meet this evolving need,
CenturyLink, Inc. (NYSE: CTL) has introduced CenturyLink
Network Storage, a managed solution that allows businesses to store
and manage data anywhere the CenturyLink network can reach.

"As workloads move closer to the edge, businesses are challenged
with efficiently managing the data produced by expanding digital
interactions," said David Shacochis,
vice president of product management for IT solutions, CenturyLink.
"CenturyLink Network Storage is a flexible data management solution
that delivers storage and transport capabilities closer to where
businesses require them, helping improve processing times while
also reducing data storage and processing complexity across cloud,
datacenter and edge environments."
An ongoing decentralization of compute resources is improving
proximity to data. IDC predicts that by the end of this year, 25%
of enterprises will have shifted away from large datacenter
consolidation to optimally located smaller datacenters to support
new compute and data-intensive applications. The analyst firm also
predicts that over the next three years, 70% of enterprises are
likely to adopt dynamic software-defined branch and network
solutions that deliver security and flexibility across cloud,
datacenter and edge interactions. By providing file, block or
object storage services all the way to the edge, CenturyLink
Network Storage makes it easier for businesses to integrate
environments, aggregate data and get the right latency and storage
for application needs directly in a secure network.
