Case Study: independenceIT achieves lower data center costs and faster scaling with EarthLink Business Cloud Hosting

independenceIT Reduces Data Center Costs by 16 Percent

independenceIT (iIT) is a fast-growing cloud provider that helps MSPs, ISPs, consultants, integrators, and carriers deliver cloud workspace services to their customers. As iIT expanded, it struggled to keep up with data center management, hardware growth, data security, backup, and scaling costs while operating three data centers and supporting 350+ applications. It turned to EarthLink Business for Cloud Hosting to shift focus from infrastructure upkeep to core platform development.

EarthLink Business implemented virtualized cloud hosting for iIT, using VMware vCloud capabilities plus secure, highly available data center services with 99.999% uptime and 24x7x365 monitoring. The result was faster platform delivery, immediate scaling of servers and storage, and a 16% reduction in infrastructure and engineering costs. By moving data center operations to EarthLink Business, iIT improved performance and freed its engineering team to deliver new product enhancements faster.
