SunStream Networks – Overview
About SunStream
SunStream Networks was founded two years ago by leading network designers, engineers, and operators, who had a vision of providing
SaaS services over a fiber optic network to small & medium sized businesses (SMB) in the San Francisco Bay Area. SaaS, or Software
as a Service, is revolutionizing the way software is distributed to companies. SunStream’s high-speed, private fiber optic network
is unlocking the power of SaaS applications.
The Experience
SunStream’s founding team has over 140 combined years of Network Engineering & Business Operations experience, with a focus on solving
the unique problems of SMB customers. We know how to build and operate high-availability, redundant, carrier-class networks.
The Network
SunStream’s high-capacity, private fiber optic network is one of our biggest assets and strongest differentiators. We’ve invested so
much in this network because we recognize the enormous enabling power of fiber as it relates to unlocking SaaS for SMB customers.
Perhaps the biggest impediment to SaaS adoption is a lack of sufficient bandwidth, which often times kills the utility of common
SaaS applications. SunStream’s high-capacity network provides unparalleled bandwidth….a network where SaaS can move at the speed
of light.
Functionality
SunStream designs complete solutions, to increase your company’s functionality. Our connectivity and
leading edge network infrastructure facilitate crystal clear IP phone connections, high resolution video
conferencing, offsite data storage, and digital video surveillance. These are systems that up until now
have been available only to very large companies.
