TROY – Windstream will provide optical Wave services to ManagedWay, connecting select data centers in the Metro Detroit market.

ManagedWay, a provider of cloud, data center, Internet, transport and IT managed services to business organizations, recently announced the opening of its 45,000-square-foot data center in Troy.

With the addition of Windstream’s highly available optical Wave services to strengthen networking between the Troy location and its Byron Center facility, ManagedWay will be even better equipped to secure business opportunities across its key industry segments including technology, advertising, education and manufacturing firms.  Fortifying connectivity between the two major centers provides the additional redundancy and security required to successfully operate large scale data center facilities.
