Cloud Architecture

EarthLink vCloud Express is powered by a vCloud hypervisor running on Enterprise Class server hardware and Cisco Gigabit Networking Equipment all in an N+1 Architecture in our SSAE 16 compliant data center. Our cloud server platform supports multiple operating systems and versions of 32-bit and 64-bit Windows and Linux virtual machines to be hosted simultaneously. Your virtual servers (VPS) have their own root accounts that you can easily control, configure and manage with our intuitive cloud hosting control panel.

Rapid Deployment
EarthLink vCloud Expres slets you build a Linux Cloud Server or Windows Cloud Server in less than 15 minutes with the specifications you need. Choose your Operating System, CPU/RAM, and Disk Size, then deploy to our cloud server platform within minutes. Our vCloud Express offers many server templates that are fully pre-configured operating system environments which are used to build virtual machines. They cut down on the time and cost of installation, configuration and maintenance of building out a complex server environment.

High Availability:
The EarthLink vCloud Express platform constantly monitors the status of all cloud servers and implements an automatic failover process if a server ever becomes unavailable. This process automatically restarts any unresponsive virtual machine to another suitable server in our robust cloud hosting farm to maximize availability for your mission-critical applications.

Scalability:
Depending on the size and needs of your organization, we can provide a single VMware virtual cloud server environment or a complete private cloud server farm running 1000s of server partitions. It’s easy to migrate from your internal VMware server environment to the EarthLink VMware Cloud Hosting service, plus, your VMware platform can be extended to our VMware Cloud Hosting service as part of your own domain.

Easy to connect, easy to scale, easy to control.
EarthLink is a certified VMware vCloud powered provider, enabling you to connect your on-premises VMware vCenter to the EarthLink Cloud giving you an easy migration path to our Cloud Hosting infrastructure. Plus, our Cloud Hosting service is offered with self-managed or fully managed virtual servers depending on your IT support needs.
