In the many years that we have been in business, we have continuously evolved to respond to market needs, and we have a history of leading the market - we were a pioneer in the early days of the Internet with dial up, one of the first to offer nationwide broadband, and one of the first to offer integrated voice and data. With more customers evolving towards private and public cloud-based solutions, we’re extending our capabilities to include managed services, and are now one of the only providers that can provide both cloud services as well as all of the underlying infrastructure required to support it – for example, we can offer secure private connectivity directly from our customers to our cloud environment.
We have deep expertise supporting businesses of all sizes and across industries. This is key, as it allows us to understand and help to solve the industry-specific challenges facing our customers, from compliance and security to cost pressures.

EarthLink has Next Generation Cloud Platforms deployed nationwide to provide better performance for latency sensitive applications and improved diversity for business continuity purposes. Businesses nationwide can now leverage the Earthlink private MPLS network to connect their locations to their business applications and systems located in these data centers.
Next Generation Cloud has been deployed in the Pittsford NY data center and is being deployed in the new Data Centers.Customers are able to access their virtual clouds through their private networks and secure remote access. They may also us the public internet to connect in the same way that users of the cloud are most likely o connect.Incoming traffic first hits the High Availability Routing and switching layer which is powered by Cisco.Traffic that is routed toward the VMware virtualized infrastructure, first passes through a newly deployed Intrusion Detection and Intrusion Protection Firewall. This is a Fortinet Firewall and EarthLink is the first and only Cloud Hosting provider to offer this layer of security without charge. Customers can choose higher levels of Firewall protection at this level. vSphere also provides basic levels of security at this level with no extra charges.The heart of the Next Generation Cloud is the Cisco UCS platform which supports the VMware virtualization environment. This is built on VMware 5.1 which is the industry leading virtualization software in the world. The Cisco platform in conjunction with the NetApp storage equipment is also know as the FlexPod, so this Next Generation Cloud is comparable to a FlexPod. So if a customer asks for a FlexPod solution – Earthlink is providing that technology.The storage layer is powered by NetApp, and this layer provides improved data protection and is now linked to the virtual servers by 10Gb connections for faster storage networking.EarthLink data centers are staffed by engineers that provision and manage the operating systems and operate through security systems to protect client data. Likewise the data center security staff supports all security service through a firewall.Customers may chose from a variety of managed service options supporting their Cloud Hosting deployments – including backup, patch management, advanced security services, and monitoring. These are provided by EarthLink's Managed Services teams, and again there are security protocols to protect the Cloud.

The key benefits and features of FlexCloud Hosting are listed here.
A key benefit is the ability to reduce the costs of server sprawl, by gaining control of multiple business users and pooling resources and buying resources more efficiently.
Create separate public and private environmentsSecurity segmentation of Public/Private VMs and networksPhysical and logical separationIsolation of private workloads with customizable security settingsLocal VPNs for controlled communications between VMs Data Center FirewallDedicated firewall on carrier-class multi-tenant hardware platformProtect your hosted services from both inbound and outbound security threatsNATing of IP addresses to your internal networks 24/7/365 monitoring and protection services from the latest vulnerabilitiesDocumented policy change requests and approvals to ensure that the appropriate policies are applied and enforced
FlexCloud works on a micro-VM based unit as opposed to a full VM (virtual machine) unit which is how most virtualization is achieved today.The Micro Virtual Machine eliminates traditional constraints on resource deployment.Micro-VMs are dynamically allocated by the FlexCloud management system allowing VM headroom to be saved.
This example illustrates how the server optimizations is accomplished.FlexCloud provides true consumption based model across pooled resources. Other providers offering consumption based models, charge on usage of a single VM.
These graphs help illustrate how the cost savings are realized between the traditional VM an the micro-VM.In this example the red line represents a month of compute resources required, and the graph on left shows the subscription level that this business must commit to cover their estimated peak consumption on a monthly basis. They pay for unconsumed resources.The FlexCloud example on the right shows how the same business with same consumption is able to save money with a FlexCloud service.With the help from an EarthLink FlexCloud Assessment, a baseline of committed resources is established and the business pays for usage above commit on a 95 percentile basis. So in this example the savings is reflected by the difference between the blue line and yellow line.The FlexCloud Assessment is an SE Led AssessmentSpreadsheet based toolGather server list of applications and server configurationsEnter data into spreadsheet toolTool calculates the estimated minimum number of Micro-VM required for the environmentEnables you to determine the potential savings of a FlexCloud deploymentOn-demand computing with bursting capabilitiesBursting at 20% above baseline – capped to allow overage on demand, but avoid runaway chargesHigher bursting caps available as requestedBilling for burst rates at 95th percentile over 30 day period
Network security and reliability is our top priority within our SSAE 16 SOC2 certified Data Centers. That's why our Bronze level of management is automatically included with EarthLink FlexCloud Hosting. You can gain increased levels of support by choosing to upgrade your services to the Silver, Gold or Platinum support packages.

So let’s change gears here and take a look at PCI compliance.What exactly is PCI compliance and does it really matter?In a nutshell, it’s a required way to reduce the risk of credit card theft and YES, unlike many requirements out there, it really does matter.There’s a lot of confusion and mis information about PCI compliance. To begin, let’s address who it applies to…..the answer….every business, large or small, that accepts a credit card must be PCI compliant. If you’re a small restaurant owner and haven’t heard about PCI compliance from your bank yet, you will….and sooner rather than later. In the early days of PCI compliance, the banks focused on inspecting compliance with the largest retailers…those with more than 1 million credit card transactions in year. However, since smaller victims are the preferred target, banks are spending more time and effort to inspect the level of PCI compliance with small businesses like restaurants. We’re getting calls from many restaurants who received a letter from the bank asking them for a copy of their PCI self-assessment questionnaire. Other banks are placing a “PCI non-compliance” fee on the monthly statement until the restaurant proves their compliance.PCI compliance is NOT a government regulation. However, don’t let that convince you that it doesn’t have teeth. It does! All the credit card companies and banks adhere to PCI compliance. And the rules, fines, and pass through costs are very real.Another misconception out there is WHO is accountable for PCI compliance. It’s not equipment vendors. If there’s a breach, 100% of the accountability is passed to the business owner.So you might be wondering, does PCI compliance really work?In other words, if you’re PCI compliant, can you still get breached? The answer is YES. However, statistics clearly show that being PCI compliant significantly reduces the chance that your restaurant will be a victim. The standard does a great job of addressing vulnerabilities. Becoming PCI compliant really means that you’re paying serious attention to security. And when you’re paying serious attention, the risk of becoming a victim is greatly diminished.
As for the PCI requirements themselves, think of them as layers to on an onion. At first glance, it doesn’t seem like much. There are just 6 control objectives which arebuild and maintain a secure network, 2 protect cardholder data, 3, maintain a vulnerability management program, 4, implement strong access control measures, 5, monitor and test networks, and 6, maintain an information security policy.Not bad, right?…well, then those objectives than turn into 12 requirements which are commonly referred to as the “the digital dozen”. 12 is still a management number. Where it becomes overwhelming for most restaurant owners is when you dive into the annual self assessment questionnaire. In order to address the digital dozen, the business owner must answer over 200 detailed questions. And many of those questions are of the technical variety.It’s no wonder then, why the vast majority of restaurants are not PCI compliant. They simply underestimate how long it will take and the resources required to fully meet the requirement.

These are the NRC charges.Every customer pays the $200 set-up fee.If the customer wants to order a unique toll free number for us, then the one time charge is $1,000 with an annual renewal fee of $500 for every year they continue with the service.If the client requests items that are deemed beyond the standard scope we would inform them of those costs and get their approvals before spending and only then pass the costs trough to them as a pre-approved NRC.
