Vendor Partnerships
Starnet represents 3 industry leading manufacturers in the networking infrastructure space with each manufacturer bringing a unique value proposition.
While each vendor crosses over into one another’s primary value play, the 3 manufacturers we represent could be delineated – 3Com represents a strong price-performance value option. Enterasys represents a high security and security applications option. Juniper represents an operational efficiency play.
3Com
Starnet is a Gold 3Com Partner and maintains certifications in a number of 3Com technology disciplines.
The 3Com suite of Network infrastructure products is an impressive one.
Ranging from the SOHO space with the cost effective Office Connect line all the way up to the datacenter featuring 3Com H3C Core Switching solutions, 3Com offers an impressive array of features at very aggressive price points.

Juniper Networks
Juniper Networks offers an impressive array of switching, routing and security technologies built upon its renowned JUNOS operating system. And, all devices are manageable under a single platform, the Juniper Network Security Manager (NSM) solution.
By leveraging a single operating system across a number of infrastructure components, Juniper simultaneously adds simplicity and performance to the network.
A single OS running on all network switches, routers and firewalls offers a number of specific benefits.
One operating system reduces time and effort to plan, deploy and operate the network infrastructure.
One release train provides for the stable delivery of new functionality in a in a steady and time tested parlance..
One modular software architecture provides for a highly available and scalable software set that can adapt to ever changing requirements.
The net result of running JUNOS across the network infrastructure is improved reliability, performance and security. Network operations can be highly automated freeing up time that can be utilized on deploying new applications and services.
