MCI today introduced a new on-demand storage service to help companies better manage and store their growing volume of corporate data. This service will allow hosting customers to view attached servers, track volumes, monitor utilization and add, move and delete storage capacity. Additionally, customers are immediately alerted when their capacity threshold is reached, allowing them to request additional storage space. With MCI's new storage option, companies can benefit from outsourcing the often complex and tedious task of managing their storage infrastructure around-the-clock.

"MCI is bringing next-generation Hosting Services to market that deliver greater value and utility for our enterprise customers," said Ed Franklin, MCI senior vice president of IT Services. "With MCI's on-demand storage offering, MCI is helping customers take advantage of a shared storage environment, strengthening their data protection while driving greater cost and resource efficiencies within their operations."
