Case Study: Security Vault Works achieves a resilient, high‑bandwidth network and 90% fewer outages with Windstream Enterprise

Restoring resilient and redundant networks to Security Vault Works

Security Vault Works (SVW), a 36‑year‑old general contractor with about 10 locations and nearly 200 employees, was hampered by an aging, cost‑prohibitive MPLS network that delivered insufficient bandwidth, poor resiliency and more than 10 outages a year. With a one‑person IT team struggling to keep systems running and secure, SVW turned to Windstream Enterprise for a modern, cloud‑enabled networking and security solution (SD‑WAN Concierge, MNS Cloud, high‑bandwidth Ethernet/fiber, broadband cable and Dynamic IP voice).

Windstream Enterprise deployed SD‑WAN Concierge with active/active dual connectivity, high‑bandwidth Ethernet and broadband, MNS Cloud managed security and Dynamic IP voice over the SD‑WAN. The solution reduced outages by roughly 90% (from 10+ to about one per year), increased scalability, bandwidth and resiliency, offloaded firewall management from SVW’s lone IT admin, and delivered superior performance at about the same cost, improving overall customer experience.
