Case StudyThe National Baseball Hall of Fame’s (NBHOF) website (baseballhall.org) was undergoing development and a redesign. With the growing popularity of social media and video content on the web, the NBHOF needed a hosting company that can provide a stable, secure environment with plenty of available bandwidth. With the popularity of baseball and interest in the Hall and Museum, the Hall of Fame is a very high traffic website and 100% uptime was imperative. Two additional priorities were cost and customer support. The NFHOF is a non-profit organization so the price had to be right. Finally, if the NBHOF wasn’t able to call in and speak to someone when there was an issue or a change was needed, this would be a deal breaker.
EarthLink was able to migrate the website from traditional dedicated servers to a cost effective, more redundant virtualized cloud environment. The team leverages virtualization software to provide a far more scalable environment to ensure 100% uptime. The virtual environment is placed within an Enterprise Class Datacenter. The facility has multiple fiber rings, and dual generator backup to ensure the stability and the bandwidth necessary to keep the National Baseball Hall of Fame’s website up and running. Throughout the past 15 years, EarthLink has provided discounts for non-profit organizations, allowing them to get the quality service they need that also meets their budget. Premium customer support is EarthLink’s top priority. The team full of highly skilled network administrators and engineers is available by phone at any time. The location in Upstate, NY was also a plus.
The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum is home to the greatest stars and the history of the game. The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum’s collections feature more than 38,000 three-dimensional items, three million books and documents, and 500,000 photographs. The Museum tells visitors the story of baseball through its three-story timeline with the majestic Plaque Gallery serving as its centerpiece.
