OfficeSuite SD-WAN + OfficeSuite UC — Managed Network and Communications from One Provider
Windstream Enterprise's OfficeSuite portfolio delivers fully managed SD-WAN and UCaaS under a single vendor relationship — eliminating the operational complexity of coordinating separate managed network, internet, and communications providers.

Portfolio
Windstream Enterprise Services
OfficeSuite SD-WAN, SASE, dedicated internet, MPLS, and OfficeSuite UC for mid-market and enterprise organizations.
SD-WAN (OfficeSuite SD-WAN)
Windstream Enterprise delivers OfficeSuite SD-WAN — a fully managed SD-WAN solution with application-aware traffic routing, real-time path selection, integrated security, and centralized policy management. OfficeSuite SD-WAN is delivered as a managed service, meaning Windstream Enterprise designs, deploys, monitors, and manages the SD-WAN fabric on behalf of the customer. This managed approach eliminates the internal network engineering burden for mid-market organizations while delivering modern WAN architecture across all locations.
SASE
Windstream Enterprise provides SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) — combining SD-WAN with cloud-delivered security services including firewall-as-a-service (FWaaS), secure web gateway, zero trust network access (ZTNA), and cloud access security broker (CASB). SASE from Windstream Enterprise extends consistent security policies from the data center edge to remote workers, cloud applications, and branch locations — providing a unified architecture for distributed enterprises transitioning away from legacy hub-and-spoke MPLS designs.
Dedicated Internet
Windstream Enterprise provides dedicated internet access with SLA-backed uptime and symmetric bandwidth — available as primary connectivity or as part of a hybrid WAN with SD-WAN overlay. Dedicated internet from Windstream Enterprise serves as the high-performance internet underlay for OfficeSuite SD-WAN deployments, providing the reliable connectivity foundation on which application-aware routing and security policies operate across the enterprise network.
MPLS
Windstream Enterprise provides MPLS for organizations that need private network connectivity between locations with predictable latency and quality of service for legacy applications. Many Windstream Enterprise customers use MPLS and dedicated internet in a hybrid SD-WAN design — maintaining private MPLS circuits for latency-sensitive legacy applications while adding internet-based paths managed by OfficeSuite SD-WAN for general traffic and cloud connectivity.
UCaaS (OfficeSuite UC)
Windstream Enterprise delivers OfficeSuite UC — a hosted UCaaS platform providing cloud-based unified communications including business calling, voicemail, auto-attendants, mobile apps, video conferencing, and team messaging. OfficeSuite UC is built on BroadSoft/Cisco architecture and managed by Windstream Enterprise as a fully hosted service. Combining OfficeSuite SD-WAN and OfficeSuite UC from a single provider delivers a managed networking and communications stack without the complexity of coordinating separate SD-WAN and UCaaS vendors.
Ideal For
Mid-Market Organizations Modernizing WAN and Communications
MPLS Replacement
Mid-market organizations with aging MPLS contracts approaching renewal that want to evaluate SD-WAN migration — where Windstream Enterprise provides hybrid MPLS/SD-WAN transition paths or full SD-WAN replacement with managed implementation.
SASE Adopters
Organizations replacing legacy perimeter security architectures with SASE — needing a managed provider that delivers SD-WAN and cloud security (FWaaS, ZTNA, CASB) under a single platform and SLA rather than assembling separate point solutions.
UCaaS Buyers
Mid-market businesses replacing aging PBX systems or consolidating separate internet and UCaaS providers — where OfficeSuite UC from the same vendor as the WAN simplifies vendor management and provides a single support escalation path.
Multi-Site Businesses
Organizations with 5-100+ locations that need consistent WAN architecture, security policies, and communications across all sites — managed centrally by Windstream Enterprise rather than by internal IT resources with limited network engineering bandwidth.
Why Windstream Enterprise
Key Strengths
What distinguishes Windstream Enterprise for mid-market SD-WAN, SASE, and UCaaS buyers.
Windstream Enterprise delivers OfficeSuite SD-WAN and OfficeSuite UC as fully managed services — designing, deploying, monitoring, and managing both the network and communications platforms on behalf of the customer. The fully managed delivery model eliminates the internal engineering resources required to operate SD-WAN and UCaaS independently, making enterprise-grade architecture accessible to mid-market organizations without dedicated network engineering teams.
Windstream Enterprise's combination of OfficeSuite SD-WAN and OfficeSuite UC under a single vendor relationship simplifies procurement, contracting, billing, and support for mid-market organizations that would otherwise manage separate network and UCaaS vendors. Single-vendor managed services provide a unified support escalation path, coordinated implementation, and end-to-end SLA accountability that multi-vendor deployments cannot offer.
Windstream Enterprise provides national coverage with a service model scaled for mid-market organizations — rather than the large-enterprise minimum commitments, complex procurement processes, and enterprise-only pricing typical of the largest national carriers. Mid-market organizations evaluating SD-WAN, SASE, and UCaaS benefit from Windstream Enterprise's pricing structure and implementation support model designed for 50–1,000 employee organizations.
Windstream Enterprise supports hybrid WAN designs that combine MPLS private networking with internet-based SD-WAN paths — enabling organizations to preserve MPLS investments for legacy applications while modernizing WAN architecture for cloud and internet-bound traffic. This hybrid approach protects existing MPLS spend during SD-WAN transitions and provides a migration path to full SD-WAN that minimizes operational disruption.
