Portfolio
Global WAN, dedicated internet, SD-WAN, MPLS, voice, UCaaS, Teams calling, contact center, video, data center, cloud connectivity, and managed security — one carrier, one commercial relationship.
Verizon Business Dedicated Internet Access delivers committed, uncontended bandwidth from T1 speeds through 100 Gbps — with symmetric upload and download, enterprise SLAs covering latency, packet loss, and uptime, and connectivity delivered over Verizon's owned backbone. DIA is appropriate for businesses requiring guaranteed throughput for cloud applications, VoIP, real-time data, and business-critical workloads where shared broadband performance variability is unacceptable. Available with diverse path options for high-availability configurations.
Verizon Business Ethernet Services include Ethernet Access (point-to-point layer 2 connectivity), Private IP (MPLS-based layer 3 VPN), Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EVPL — point-to-multipoint Ethernet), and VPLS (Virtual Private LAN Service — multipoint Ethernet bridging). All services scale to 10 Gbps and run on Verizon's global backbone. Used for site-to-site connectivity, data center interconnect, and cloud-bound traffic requiring predictable, low-latency performance without public internet routing.
Verizon Virtual Network Services delivers software-defined WAN — enabling intelligent traffic steering across multiple WAN transports (MPLS, DIA, broadband, LTE), application-aware routing, centralized policy management, and cloud-optimized path selection. Deploys in hours via zero-touch provisioning rather than weeks. Verizon manages the underlay, overlay, and device lifecycle — reducing operational burden for enterprise network teams managing large distributed branch footprints.
Software Defined Secure Branch converges SD-WAN and security into a single branch architecture — integrating firewall, intrusion detection, DNS security, and Zero Trust access controls natively into the WAN edge. SDSB eliminates the need for separate security appliances at each branch, enforces consistent security policy across the entire WAN, and supports SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) frameworks. Particularly suited for enterprises with large distributed branch networks pursuing network and security convergence.
Verizon Private IP is a carrier-grade MPLS VPN service — providing any-to-any connectivity across locations on Verizon's backbone with Class of Service (CoS) traffic prioritization, QoS guarantees for latency-sensitive applications (VoIP, video), and support for complex multi-site topologies. Available as fully managed (Verizon manages CPE and routing policy) or customer-managed (customer controls routing with Verizon providing the network layer). Widely deployed in financial services, healthcare, and government where private network isolation and QoS are contractual requirements.
Verizon Wavelength Services deliver point-to-point optical transport on dedicated wavelengths — scaling from 1 Gbps to 400 Gbps for data center interconnect, financial market connectivity, disaster recovery replication, and high-throughput private links. Each wavelength is a dedicated optical channel on Verizon's global fiber backbone, providing maximum performance isolation, sub-millisecond latency on key routes, and no shared contention. Used by financial institutions, media companies, and hyperscale operators requiring raw, guaranteed bandwidth at the highest capacity tiers.
Verizon Fios Business provides fiber-optic internet and commercial TV service to businesses in Verizon's Fios residential and business footprint — primarily the northeastern United States (New York/New Jersey/Pennsylvania/Maryland/Virginia/Delaware/Massachusetts). Fios delivers symmetric gigabit speeds over a fully fiber network. For businesses in the Fios footprint looking for high-performance symmetric broadband with TV service, Fios is Verizon's SMB and small business product. Available bundled with voice and small business services.
Verizon Business IP Trunking provides standards-based SIP PSTN connectivity for IP PBX and UCaaS platforms — supporting single-site and multi-site configurations with shared trunk pools across locations. Includes number porting, E911, CNAM, and direct connectivity to Verizon's IP backbone for low-latency call routing. Verizon handled 68 billion minutes of inbound voice traffic in 2024, reflecting the scale and reliability of its PSTN infrastructure. Appropriate for enterprises standardizing on SIP trunking across their WAN footprint.
Verizon Business UCCaaS is a cloud-hosted unified communications service built on Cisco call control infrastructure — providing enterprise calling, unified voicemail, presence, instant messaging, and mobility capabilities under a Verizon-managed service relationship. For enterprises that want Cisco UCaaS functionality without managing on-premise Cisco CUCM infrastructure, Verizon's managed UCCaaS delivers the platform as a service with Verizon responsible for infrastructure, upgrades, and uptime.
Verizon is the only US carrier simultaneously certified and deployed across all three Microsoft Teams PSTN calling architectures: Direct Routing (SBC-based PSTN connection to Teams), Operator Connect (Microsoft-managed carrier integration without on-premise hardware), and Teams Phone Mobile (extending Teams natively to Verizon wireless mobile devices). This three-architecture coverage gives enterprises flexibility to choose or blend approaches based on existing infrastructure, Microsoft licensing, and mobility requirements — without committing to a single PSTN architecture or switching carriers as requirements evolve.
BlueJeans is Verizon's cloud video conferencing platform — providing meetings (interactive video calls), events (large-scale virtual events and webinars), rooms (conference room hardware integration), and Gateway for Teams (connecting BlueJeans rooms to Microsoft Teams meetings). BlueJeans differentiates on interoperability — connecting participants across different video systems and integrating with Teams, Slack, and other collaboration platforms. For enterprises standardizing on Verizon as a broad communications provider, BlueJeans can be included under the Verizon commercial relationship alongside WAN and security services.
Verizon Virtual Contact Center is a cloud-based CCaaS platform supporting multimedia customer interactions — voice, email, chat, and digital channels — with intelligent routing, workforce management, and reporting. IP Contact Center (IPCC) is Verizon's global IVR solution — providing enterprise-scale interactive voice response with global PSTN reach across 190+ countries. For multinational contact center deployments requiring consistent customer experience across geographies on a carrier-grade, globally distributed platform, Verizon's 30+ years of contact center infrastructure experience is a meaningful operational credential.
VIAA (VoIP Identity & Authentication Architecture), powered by Pindrop, provides AI-driven voice fraud prevention for enterprise contact centers — detecting synthetic/deepfake voices, authenticating callers via voice biometrics, and flagging suspicious telephony patterns in real time. As AI-generated voice deepfakes become mainstream fraud vectors, VIAA provides a network-layer defense that stops fraudulent calls before they reach agents. Particularly relevant for financial services, insurance, healthcare, and government contact centers processing high volumes of sensitive customer calls.
Verizon operates 50+ carrier-neutral data center colocation facilities across 20 countries — providing enterprise co-location, cross-connects, and managed hosting adjacent to Verizon's global backbone. Physical proximity to Verizon's backbone minimizes latency for WAN-bound workloads and maximizes cross-connect options for direct connectivity to cloud providers, exchanges, and other carriers. Data center footprint is available in North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America — enabling globally distributed colocation under a single Verizon commercial relationship.
Secure Cloud Interconnect provides private, dedicated connectivity from Verizon's network to major public cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) — bypassing the public internet for cloud-bound workloads to reduce latency, improve security posture, and deliver predictable throughput. NaaS Cloud Management provides software-defined control over cloud connectivity — allowing enterprises to dynamically provision, modify, and manage cloud connections through an API or self-service portal without manual telco processes. Both are positioned for enterprises pursuing hybrid and multi-cloud architectures that require carrier-grade cloud connectivity.
Verizon's managed security portfolio spans 20+ years of enterprise security delivery: Managed Detection & Response (MDR) with 24/7 SOC, DDoS Shield (volumetric and application-layer DDoS mitigation), DNS Safeguard (DNS-based threat blocking), Zero Trust Dynamic Access (identity-based access control replacing implicit network trust), Penetration Testing, Rapid Response Retainer, Business Service Assessment, Security Architecture Review, and PCI-DSS Assessment services. Verizon publishes an annual Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) — one of the most cited security intelligence publications in the industry — reflecting deep threat intelligence capabilities underlying its managed security offerings.
