Case Study: Regional Bank achieves resilient connectivity and reliable voice with Windstream Enterprise

Regional bank invests in Windstream’s SD-WAN and Dynamic IP to improve network resiliency and performance

Regional Bank, a financial services provider with 30+ branches and two data centers, faced an outdated MPLS network with a single point of failure, frequent data center outages (2–3 severe events annually), insufficient bandwidth, and an overburdened IT team. To modernize their network and voice infrastructure, the bank partnered with Windstream Enterprise to deploy SD‑WAN and Dynamic IP (SIP) services along with managed connectivity tools.

Windstream Enterprise implemented an active‑active SD‑WAN architecture at branches (primary fiber, secondary cable, tertiary cellular), HA SD‑WAN devices with diverse dual‑fiber at data centers, Dynamic IP to replace PRI voice lines, Remote Reboot and the WE Connect portal for management. The deployment delivered resilient connectivity, prioritized high‑quality voice, reduced outages so branch impacts are often unnoticed, increased bandwidth and performance, and eased the bank’s IT workload.
