SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwired - Oct 16, 2013) - RiverMeadow Software™ Inc., developer of the world's only automated server migration platform developed specifically for carrier and service provider clouds, has announced that EarthLink, a leading IT and communications provider, has enabled their Cloud Hosting Services with the RiverMeadow Cloud Migration SaaS. Whether simple or complex, the RiverMeadow Cloud Migration SaaS will help EarthLink deliver the benefits of cloud computing, with minimal cost and complexity, to its full portfolio of business customers. As part of the agreement, RiverMeadow migrations will be bundled with EarthLink Cloud Hosting offers, to facilitate customer onboarding.
