I highly recommend this product to any organization for all security services. The system has enabled the company to develop secure websites that cannot be easily compromised. It enhances high security for data networking infrastructure promoting faster and more secure file transfer. It has reduced daily expenses incurred in setting up security tools from different platforms.

Windstream
Windstream is a widely available option for VPLS and other connectivity requirements. However, I believe they need to work on providing better notification and support of outages, service, etc. These services are also incredibly expensive, Windstream portrays a worthwhile service to accommodate your check every month, but it falls short. Windstream is available everywhere, but tread carefully when selecting a company that offers similar services.

Alternatives Considered
IBM
I have not come across such a secure and powerful platform for providing data security services as IBM Managed Security Services. It has fully protected all the company systems from external threats that have been compromising company information. This system has enhanced the company to secure all data-driven models and guarantee the safety of all confidential information assets. The product tracks effectively data across all the applications to ensure it is safe for planning and highly reliable for decision-making.

Windstream was the only option for what we needed. It was available in Wisconsin, Iowa, New York, and Utah for all of our plants needs. It was also a service that has been used for years so we have not searched elsewhere for an alternative option. Many people have heard of Windstream, which gives it crediblity with IT professionals
