Solutions from Windstream:
Why move people when you can move information? Windstream VPN gives businesses the ability to connect geographically dispersed branch offices and business partners to access the systems, applications and information they need. Windstream VPN provides one of the highest performing and most versatile IP network solutions to give you scalable connectivity, greater security, guaranteed quality of service and multiple access options.
If your company oversees operations in geographically dispersed locations, managing a corporate network can be daunting. Often times it’s a complex set of isolated local area network (LAN) segments that make it difficult to adjust to changing needs. Windstream Virtual LAN Service (VLS) enables customers to connect multiple, remote LAN’s together using flexible, scalable Ethernet technology. This allows sites in different locations to easily interact as a single virtual network. VLS combines the plug-and-play simplicity of Ethernet with the networking control and scalability of Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) to provide a robust, cost effective solution for networking your LANs together across the wide area.
Businesses are ideally served by our carrier grade Ethernet Internet access solution to provide the bandwidth capacity necessary. This bandwidth volume helps you to meet the increased demands on your network resources to move data faster, ensure improved business execution and increase productivity. Windstream’s Ethernet Internet solution was designed to eliminate bottlenecks to information flow and impediments to real-time collaboration by providing remote locations with high-speed access to e-mail servers, Web enabled applications, file servers and shared Internet access. Use Ethernet Internet to enhance other Windstream network and business applications such as Virtual LAN Service and VPN, enabling remote locations the use of business critical applications.
Companies must connect with remote offices, partners, suppliers, warehouses, and employees. This extended enterprise business model has tremendous business benefits, but can be costly and interfere with productivity. Windstream integrated Conferencing solutions help you collaborate better, ensuring the ability to communicate with key resources in real-time for fast and accurate resolution to issues. We offer a full suite of productivity enhancing audio and Web conferencing tools that let you meet quickly and easily with anyone no matter where they are while saving time and money.
Today’s marketplace demands that customers, partners, and suppliers share information and connections more than ever before. As the need to provide information between locations expands, businesses are faced with the difficult task of safeguarding company data despite the growing frequency and sophistication of Internet security threats. Small and medium businesses look to Windstream’s security solutions to keep customer data safe and secure. Windstream’s managed security solution delivers ICSA certified protection against today’s sophisticated cyber threats with a single unified threat management system, including anti-virus protection, stateful firewalls, and intrusion prevention and detection. Productivity enhancing site-to-site IPSec VPN, local WiFi access, and Web content filtering options are also available.
Slow business processes cost enterprises real money. By transitioning employees from “sometimes available” to “always on”, enterprises can experience a significant and positive transformation by accelerating time to decision, to revenue, to service, to support, and to product. Businesses can increase business agility and employee productivity with unified communications (UC). Windstream’s UC solutions create a collaborative environment by combining presence, real-time communication modes (e.g., telephony, video and application sharing) and near-real-time communications modes (e.g., instant messaging, email and voice mail) into a single experience – anytime, anywhere and from any device – leading to improved agility, accuracy and speed, as well as higher productivity.
