Case Study: Leading Beverage Brewery & Distributor achieves rapid, low‑latency cloud migration with Windstream Enterprise's Cloud Connect & Wavelength Services

Leading Beverage Brewery & Distributor - Customer Case Study

Leading Beverage Brewery & Distributor, a U.S.-based multinational with 30 locations and 20,000 employees, faced a major IT challenge: migrate a mainframe and hundreds of legacy applications to the cloud while maintaining access and compatibility. Their existing MPLS and broadband connectivity delivered high latency, limited bandwidth and instability, so they engaged Windstream Enterprise to provide a high-performance cloud connectivity solution (Cloud Connect and Wavelength Services).

Windstream Enterprise implemented dual Layer 2 Wavelength Services with Cloud Connect, building a private optical network of diverse 10 Gbps Wavelength links to the customer’s CSP and headquarters, fully deployed in 19 days. The solution delivered LAN-speed performance across the WAN, reduced latency, increased bandwidth and reliability, improved cost-effectiveness, and enabled rapid migration to cloud-hosted and off‑the‑shelf applications—demonstrating clear operational and performance gains from Windstream Enterprise’s approach.
