Case Study: McGuire Bearing achieves improved uptime and application performance with EarthLink Business MPLS

McGuire Bearing - Customer Case Study

McGuire Bearing, a wholesale distributor with 10 locations across the western U.S., needed to modernize an aging network and improve uptime, support, and application performance for systems like VoIP and ERP. The company turned to EarthLink Business, which had previously provided networking solutions, to upgrade its legacy setup and better connect its distributed operations.

EarthLink Business implemented a custom private MPLS network with high-speed T1 local connections, Class of Service traffic management, and the MyEdge customer portal for monitoring and support. The result was more consistent performance for voice and business applications, reduced long-distance phone costs, and a scalable network foundation that can support future applications and disaster recovery needs.
