Global telecom company AT&T has expanded its portfolio of cloud-based services to include on-demand compute capacity.

The addition of Synaptic Compute as a Service offering strengthens AT&T’s position in competing with other large cloud-based services providers like Amazon Web Services, Microsoft and Google. The telecom company already offers cloud-based storage and hosting services.

“As companies increasingly move to cloud-based environments, AT&T Synaptic Compute as a Service provides a much-needed choice for IT executives who worry about over-building or under-investing in the capacity needed to handle their users’ traffic demands,” said Roman Pacewicz, Vice President of Strategy and Application Services, AT&T.

The service, expected to launch in the fourth quarter of 2009, will feature a Web-based interface, pay-as-you-go billing structure and multiple storage options for use with the existing Synaptic Storage offering. AT&T said that there will be no up-front fees, long-term obligations or early-termination penalties.

The company partnered with the leading virtualization software developer VMware and multi-faceted technology company Sun to develop its newest offering. The product is using VMware’s vSphere hypervisor and vCloud API.

The company will deploy the service in the U.S, but it will be accessible from anywhere through the internet. It Plans to expand the offering globally in the future.
