ATLANTA, Feb. 21, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EarthLink Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ:ELNK) today announced the company is experiencing growing
momentum in the marketplace with EarthLink SD-WAN, which launched in September 2016. To date, 41 customers across 1,706 locations
have implemented EarthLink’s software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN), a cloud-delivered network service that makes it easy for
businesses to optimize their network to enhance customer experiences. 95% of these customers have opted for EarthLink SD-WAN
Concierge™, which demonstrates customers’ growing interest in EarthLink’s fully-managed services built on personalized and
proactive expert guidance.
EarthLink’s clients require a strong network backbone to support engaging customer experiences and multi-location connectivity
including industry leaders in Entertainment (672 locations), Restaurant (203 locations), and Building Materials (153

“The rapid adoption of our SD-WAN network services clearly demonstrates the growing demand for intelligent, high performance
networks that optimize the cloud and hybrid infrastructure and affirms customers’confidence in EarthLink,” said Joe Eazor,
Chief Executive Officer and President of EarthLink. “Our unique SD-WAN network services combine our strengths in network
technology, client service and deep industry expertise to offer businesses a new approach to network management that enables our
clients to deliver more value to their customers.”
Earlier this year, EarthLink, in collaboration with Boston Retail Partners, debuted Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS),
which relies on SD-WAN to provide a fully-managed, cloud-based communications platform with hosted voice. With superior cloud-based
performance, EarthLink UCaaS eliminates the barriers to businesses fully realizing the benefits of a flexible, mobile and
collaborative communications environment. The service received industry recognition and won TMC’s 2017 Internet Telephony Product of the Year Award for Unified Communications.
