ATLANTA, April 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- EarthLink
Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: ELNK), a leading managed network and cloud
solutions provider for multi-location businesses, announced the
launch of its new managed IPsec VPN service. Short for Internet
Protocol Security for Virtual Private Networks, IPsec VPN was
developed to support secure data exchange and is used to
economically and securely connect multiple locations on a
high-bandwidth, PCI-compliant network. As businesses continue to
shift applications to the cloud, these technology demands drive the
need for increased bandwidth, but often without bigger budgets.
With the addition of IPSec VPN to its Wide-Area networking (WAN)
portfolio, which also includes MPLS and a hybrid of the two,
EarthLink can create optimized customer networks based on
application and location requirements without compromising on
security. Businesses can minimize costs while ensuring
security and compliance with standards such as PCI-DSS. Managed
IPsec VPN service is ideal for retail, healthcare, financial or
professional businesses that operate multiple locations, and
enables the customer to select any type of available access,
whether supplied by EarthLink or a third party.
"The addition of IPsec VPN to EarthLink's WAN portfolio
positions us to design and implement right-size networks that are
the best fit for each business," said Rick
C. Froehlich, EarthLink Executive Vice President and Chief
Commercial Officer. "Our network diagnostic expertise will also
help the customer determine whether a pure IPsec VPN, pure MPLS or
a combination of the two is ideal for their custom-tailored
network."
Key IPsec VPN benefits include:
- Cost optimization, with more bandwidth for the money
- Utilize the most economical Internet access available to power
applications that improve operations and create a better
end-customer experience.
- PCI compliance
- Securely monitored, premises-based routers and firewall at each
location
- IPsec encryption for all tunnels
- Flexible design configurations
- Aggregate Internet connectivity from locations in the cloud or
in the headquarters location
- Wireless backup options for business continuity protection
- Proactive care response based on network performance
EarthLink's IPsec VPN service is easy to self-install, with the
option for professional installation. Customers maintain network
control, centralized management and visibility via the EarthLink
myLink® customer portal providing real-time monitoring
and customizable dashboards.
