Verizon is extending its healthcare focus to now include the pharmaceutical and life sciences industries to include solutions for cloud computing for clinical and drug manufacturing data. 

Available immediately in the US and Europe, Verizon is launching a portfolio of GxP (Good x Practices) Services for managing clinical and drug manufacturing data in the Verizon cloud or from select data centers. The company also entered into a partnership agreement with rfXcel whereby Verizon will provide its complementary cloud and data center service options to clients. rfXcel provides a serialization solution that helps companies track and trace pharmaceuticals from manufacturing to distribution.

Verizon's GxP services include colocation, managed hosting, and enterprise cloud solutions in three of the company's global data centers, as well as professional services to size/scope the architecture and enable deployment.
