1. Imagine accessing state-of-the-art,
massively scalable IT infrastructure as you
need it. In the past, your only option was
building out expensive, dedicated network,
storage and server infrastructure. Now you
can provision resources on demand that
are flexible and agile, with highly available
hosting environments custom designed
to fit your needs—from production, test
and development servers to high-demand
mission-critical application environments.
Our solution allows you to rapidly deploy
capacity without capital investments so you
can reshape your environment on demand.
Windstream Hosted Solutions offers the
market’s most robust, enterprise-class
cloud solution—dramatically improving the
efficiency and availability of IT resources
and applications in your organization. These
solutions are available in public, private and
hybrid options.

2. 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.
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.

3. Reduce the Cost and Complexity of IT
Windstream 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.
