We believe in offering choices by working with multiple vendors, which assures the appropriate product for each environment and reduces overall costs.

Backup
Today’s backup solutions don’t meet the needs of business continuance and disaster recovery for most. Many systems use tape which is slow and complex to restore. The slow speed limits the number of backups that can be performed in a day and according to a Gartner Group survey the failure rate for tape restores is as high as 30%. Other solutions often require database experts for consulting to setup the systems, and develop backup scripts. These scripts are specific to the current configuration and must be re-done if the configuration changes. The worst part of this is the scripts are untested and may fail when they are needed, i.e. after a database crash. We can assist with providing the following:

• Achieve fast recovery from a disaster or a corrupted database
• Simplify and automate both backup and recovery tasks
• Maintain fully functional standby databases at a remote location
• Assure that the backups are reliable and secure
• Provide centralized protection management for many local and remote servers
  

Networking
Internet Link Load Balancing:
Reliable Internet connectivity is a must for successful businesses and most companies find managing multiple Internet connectivity links expensive and difficult. Implementing BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) requires expensive hardware, sophisticated setup, and experienced engineers to manage it once its setup. VantageSTAR can provide a solution that will manage the operation of all Internet links across multi-homed networks, guaranteeing uninterrupted Internet services and optimized content delivery for reliable, high performance and cost effective connectivity. We have a less expensive, higher performing, and easier alternative than BGP. Keep your enterprise fully connected.

Routing:
We can offer high performance core and WAN routing - from the data center, to the workgroup, or the branch office. Combining advanced features and functionality, wire-speed performance and pinpoint application control with the essential security to support the applications you need today: enterprise resource planning, e-commerce, convergence, contact centers and more.

Server Load Balancing:
Ensure full availability, optimized operation and complete security of server farms, guaranteeing the reliability and highest performance of mission critical applications across networks and data centers. We can provide products that manage network traffic at Multi-Gigabit speeds, eliminate bottlenecks and downtime from enterprise servers while continuously protecting resources from security violations for fault tolerant operation of all IP applications including web services, e-mail, and online databases.

SSL Acceleration:
Offloading of SSL (Secure Socket Layer) transaction processing and certificate management to an ASIC based hardware accelerator frees expensive CPU cycles translating into immediate ROI.

Switching:
Need multilayer switching from the desktop to the data center? VantageSTAR can assist with standalone or stackable switches which provide low-cost, high-quality Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet switching. Plus critical features like high-speed uplinks, RMON support, at-a-glance port monitoring, and more…

Wireless:
Secure, cost-effective, easy-to-install wireless connectivity is what we offer. Take your LAN with you – through the use of wireless technology. Whether you’re building new departmental workgroups where cabling runs are difficult, or providing temporary access to laptop users or users with hand-held devices, we have the perfect answer for those looking to extend connectivity, increase productivity, and decrease carrier and installation costs.

Security
VantageSTAR works closely with its partners to develop, implement, and manage a complete security solution. We can provide much more than just a firewall. We provide all the necessary components to address all security threats, and ensure the integrity and availability of your data and network.

Application Layer:
Providing leading web application security to secure, optimize, and enable your web infrastructure. We assist clients in protecting all components of their web infrastructure, including the web servers, web applications and back-end databases.

Antivirus:
Virus outbreaks are becoming more common every day and are very costly. These outbreaks can be detrimental to your business. Implementing appliances can stop network viruses (Internet worms), block high threat vulnerabilities during outbreaks, and quarantine / clean-up infections, including unprotected devices as they enter your network.

Firewall:
Firewalls are the core foundation for any organization’s network security solution. Firewalls that have been properly configured and implemented at the corporate and remote office locations are absolutely vital for securing the entire network.

Intrusion Detection:
Firewalls are a key component in any organization’s security solution, but when coupled with an Intrusion Detection and Prevention appliance the two work hand-in-hand by providing a sophisticated security infrastructure. A successful IDP (Intrusion Detection and Prevention) appliance provides limited to zero false-positive alerts, allows tuning of other security devices within the network, and stops intruders before any damage can be done.

Servers
Providing custom built rack mount servers and pre-configured server appliances for the data center and enterprise level markets. We provide servers that are designed to run a wide range of applications, including web servers, e-mail servers, Internet gateways / proxies, firewalls, load balancing / high availability systems, and remote LAN access.

Software
VantageSTAR provides a full suite of software for your business. Antivirus, Operating System, Web Server, Backup, Advanced System Monitoring, Asset Management, CRM, Accounting, etc. These are just a few of the software packages that we can provide.

Storage
We assist in providing storage solutions which utilize specialized hardware, software, and services to provide a seamless storage management system. Simple and quick deployment, ease of management, and increased data availability means less IT resources for your business. Let VantageSTAR assist with your data storage needs.

VPN
VPN’s are becoming more popular as businesses reduce costs by eliminating dedicated Internet links, telecommunication lines and RAS (Remote Access Servers) for remote / branch offices and remote users. Companies also see this growing number of telecommuters as a productivity increase within their organization, but realize that security, ease of use, and implementation is important in order to take full advantage of implementing a VPN solution. VantageSTAR can assist your business in implementing a single platform which uses SSL, the security protocol found in all standard web browsers, as a secure access transport mechanism. The use of SSL eliminates the need for client software deployment, changes to internal servers, and costly ongoing maintenance. These VPN appliances also offer sophisticated partner / customer extranet features that enable controlled access to differentiated users and groups with little to no infrastructure changes, DMZ deployments, or software agents. This functionality also allows companies secure access to the corporate intranet, so that administrators can restrict access to different employee, contractor or visitor populations, based on the resources that they need.
