What You Need Today. And Tomorrow. Windstream Hosted Solutions has partnered with market leaders such as VMware, EMC, Cisco, VCE, NetApp, F5 and Veeam to deliver an enterprise-class solution built on the industry’s most robust, scalable, fully redundant architecture. The result is unmatched performance and availability with up to 99.99% SLAs.

With Windstream Hosted Solutions’ massively scalable, multi-tenant infrastructure, you can access a secure, enterprise-class cloud environment that features built-in high availability and automated resource balancing.

Our solution allows you to respond to market dynamics faster and more efficiently than ever before. We deliver resources, applications, even servers, when and where they’re needed. Instead of buying costly, cumbersome individual servers, you’ll have access to our state-of-the-art infrastructure for processing, storage, networking and security, which allows you to deploy infrastructure capacity on demand.

*In a high-availability configuration

Which Cloud Option is Best for You? Windstream Hosted Solutions offers three different variations of its cloud solution—including public, private and hybrid options. Some are a better fit if you have strict compliance requirements; some are a better fit if you require a lot of elasticity. Each is designed to meet the unique needs of your organization. Before you select a cloud solution, it’s very important to evaluate your existing environment to determine what you need in terms of security, scalability, flexibility and more.

Reduce the Cost and Complexity of ITWindstream Hosted Solutions provides a scalable and cost-effective way to optimize the use of your current technology assets. With the cloud model, you eliminate the need for CapEx investment on infrastructure as well as OpEx on IT ops and maintenance for computing equipment, software and staff. In addition, you gain access to production level, highly available four 9s computing power while only paying for what you need. Companies realize additional cost benefits from the increased productivity of IT staff.

Accelerate Time to Market to Drive Revenue With a highly optimized cloud solution in place, businesses can implement and modify infrastructure more quickly than ever before. The result? The ability to introduce new products and services and capture new revenue streams sooner. No need to worry about “technology bakeoffs,” capacity constraints or setting up new hardware prior to a new launch. Our solution rapidly scales with your business, allowing IT to lead the organization and never slow it down.

Improve Efficiency and Allow Your Company to Focus on the Core Business Cloud computing allows you to spend less time managing your IT infrastructure while providing enhancements and access to best-of-breed enterprise infrastructure not otherwise available. Serve the needs of your business with extremely fast provisioning to create test, development and staging environments without additional hardware. Take advantage of dynamic allocation of IT resources in production to respond to changing business conditions.

Protect the Data and IT Environments That Run Your Business Our cloud solution provides increased ability for redundancy, preventing business losses due to poor performance or infrastructure failures. Simplify your server provisioning for development and allow thorough QA testing without additional hardware expense to avoid issues in production. Through advanced technologies, Windstream Hosted Solutions offers business continuity solutions for improved disaster recovery, higher levels of availability and simplified backup and recovery. Protect your business as you provide greater security, improved responsiveness and increased resilience to your IT environment.
