MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.,
Jan. 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- The enterprise wide area networking (WAN) landscape is
rapidly changing. Adoption of IP-based WAN is being driven by
evolving business requirements such as increasing business agility
with the adoption of virtualization and cloud computing, providing
distributed employees, suppliers, and customers with anytime,
anywhere access to enterprise applications, as well as planning for
the evolving hybrid IT architecture. These ever demanding business
requirements, in addition to the decline of available IT budgets,
are pressuring enterprise IT to do more with less.
New Frost & Sullivan white paper titled, The Role of High
Performance WAN in Enterprise Cloud Transformation, discusses
the business trends that are driving enterprise IT transformation,
the role of WAN services in a cloud-centric IT environment, and how
EarthLink can help with its high performance WAN solutions.

Enterprise IT organizations are struggling to meet new
technology needs as IT budgets continue to decline, but data
storage and processing requirements continue to grow exponentially.
By leveraging cloud computing, businesses can introduce operational
efficiencies, improve application availability, and control costs
like never before.
"As enterprises' IT departments work to keep up with
growing data compute and storage requirements, provide 24x7 access
to employees, partners, suppliers, and rolls out new applications,
the cost and effort of deploying new data centers can be cost
prohibitive," notes Stratecast | Frost & Sullivan Business
Communication & Cloud Computing Services Industry Director
Roopashree Honnachari . "A hybrid IT environment can help
businesses reduce the total cost of ownership by keeping highly
mission-critical applications in private data centers, and
offloading certain workloads to more cost-effective external cloud
environments."
In this analysis, Frost & Sullivan shares insight into
EarthLink's comprehensive suite of IT and WAN solutions and
how the company is well positioned to enable enterprises in their
journey to a cloud-centric IT environment.
"Cloud adoption is growing with enterprises showing a strong
preference for hybrid IT environments," states Honnachari.
"EarthLink's hybrid WAN solution consisting of MPLS and
IPsec VPN lays the foundation for SD-WAN by optimizing business
networks in a cloud-connected world."
