Windstream helps flooded businesses in Nashville protect vital company data with off-site storage

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – To help Nashville businesses affected by the severe flooding in the area, Windstream (NYSE:WIN, news, filings), a voice, data, networking and communication system provider, has created additional space at its emergency Data Storage Center for businesses to store their servers, routers and other mission-critical data equipment.

Windstream has been working to restore phone service and e-mail applications to businesses that have been without service due to the flooding. The company also is offering additional safe, secure data storage for businesses that need to move their crucial data equipment out of flooded buildings.

For businesses that have critical data files and must meet compliance requirements for privacy and protection, it’s important to store network servers in a facility where it can be protected from natural disasters or theft.

Windstream’s Offsite Data Centers provide businesses:
