SÃO PAULO, Sept. 20, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Level 3 Communications, Inc. (NYSE: LVLT) launched the next generation version of Dynamic Enterprise Computing, its cloud computing platform for the enterprise market in Latin America.

Level 3's Upgraded Dynamic Enterprise Computing Includes:


    --  Next generation tools and an operational model which allows customers to
        manage network, security and computing systems in a centralized and
        connected manner, independent from the physical components, basic
        software and architectures that support it.
    --  A new management portal and automation of several stages of the service
        implementation, with minimum manual intervention.
    --  A redesigned portal that provides customers with the ability to control
        their cloud landscape with autonomy and manage their information and
        communications technology (ICT) from any location.
    --  The ability for customers to select from a portfolio of processing,
        memory and disk solutions to determine what best fits their information
        management model.

        Usage service, which allows users to define a capacity baseline to
        determine normal usage. If the customer exceeds this limit, they only
        pay for the difference.
