Windstream Wholesale and Digital Realty’s data center solutions

Windstream Wholesale is a frontrunner in advanced network communication. The company recently declared its Network Hub presence in Digital Realty’s data center in Atlanta. This expansion was powered by a Tier 1 content provider needing a multi-location solution between Digital Realty’s data center campus and Digital Realty’s Atlanta data center site in Richardson, Texas.

The company has planned to offer fully diverse wavelength solutions at speed up to 400G to reach a connected community of industries operating at Digital Realty’s portfolio of a data center in Atlanta.  Windstream Wholesale will also offer complete access to its full suite of ethernet and internet services.

Windstream and Digital Realty will continue to expand their collaboration as Windstream concentrates on making the procedure simple for consumers to reach and control its network in the key markets. This declaration made by Windstream is based upon the company’s recent deployment in Digital Reality’s Digital Dallas campus in Richardson, Texas, that offers direct connectivity options to Digital Realty’s 2323 Bryan St. hub location in the downtown Dallas area.

By deploying a Network Hub on PlatformDIGITAL in Atlanta, Windstream will allow its consumers to access a broad associated community of partners that have already deployed within the Digital Realty facility. With this deployment, Windstream is well-positioned as a viable partner to serve other connectivity needs of the connected community.
