Company Background
Founded in 2000, Glamourmom, LLC sells clothing for nursing mothers, including the award-winning Glamourmom® Nursing Bra Tank. Based in Rye, NY, the company has grown considerably and recently opened a showroom in midtown Manhattan. Glamourmom distributes its line of products throughout the USA and internationally with warehouses in both the U.K. and New Jersey, as well as distributors in several other countries.
Overview
- Challenge
Glamourmom was originally only able to get an insufficient DSL line in their Manhattan office. Even if they were able to get a T1 in their market, local loop charges would make it prohibitively expensive. Glamourmom needed a connectivity solution that was easy to install and just as reliable as a T1 - but with much more bandwidth. - Solution
With a 5x5 Mbps Speakeasy Business Ethernet connection, Glamourmom can easily support VoIP between offices, email hosting, nightly offsite backups, a retail website, backend processing for their NJ warehouse, and portals for their wholesalers and affiliates. - Results
With Speakeasy Business Ethernet, Glamourmom gets more than three times the bandwidth of a full T1 for about half the price. "Installation was painless," says Barden. "We were up and running within three weeks, which is phenomenal in our market."
