Brightstar: Helps Organisations Digitalise their Process

W hile organisations stay on the constant lookout for the best solutions, there is no shortage of vendors

competing for a fair share at every part of the enterprise network market. This is where distributors play a key role, driving sales for manufacturers with their localized presence and the agil-ity to respond to customers’ demands. Serving as a bridge between manu-facturers and customers, the role of distributors has become all the more critical with markets going global and the players becoming more and more competitive.

Brightstar India is structured into multiple business segments encom-passing distribution, mobile handset and accessories, communication de-vices (including mobile broadband devices [3G data cards] and memory products), IT infrastructure products (including networking, servers and storage) and Enterprise solutions (cov-ering key industry verticals of board room solutions, voice and data solu-tions and network solutions [last mile connectivity]). Adding to its current portfolio are a range of new services which bring immense value for cus-tomers and consumers alike, Finan-cial services, Gadget Insurance and Buy back and Trade in. Positioned as a value added distributor, Brightstar has aligned with some of the leading OEMs who are revolutionising the marketplace with their cutting edge technologies. In the networking are-na, the company has forged an alliance with the global giant, Huawei which brings to the fore a comprehensive suite of simple, intelligent and secured enterprise products that not only con-nects users and bolsters the network infrastructure but helps organisations

digitalise their processes. Poised as a 5 star certified partner of the OEM, Brightstar is directly responsible for the both distribution as well as main-tenance of the entire gamut of their networking products ranging from switches and routers to servers as well as storage solutions.

Sanjeev Patil, VP – Telecom & Enterprise Solutions, Brightstar says, “Our tie-ups are based on a broader perspective which includes catering to

entire segments not only from a net-working point of view but in terms of overall IT infrastructure and security as well.” US-based SD WAN Solu-tions provider- Versa, global security solutions provider- Sonic Wall, virtu-alisation solutions provider- Accops, wireless broadband hardware manu-facturer - RADWIN, networking equipment manufacturer- RAD are instances of many more such tie-ups that allow Brightstar to provide scal-able, flexible and secure enterprise so-lutions for varying customer needs.

Boasting of more than 10 years of market presence, Brightstar has been on the path of continuous growth. What strongly distinguishes Bright-star as a leading distributor is the val-ue addition that the company brings into the picture. Taking up the role of an extended arm, the company active-ly assists its partner OEMs, improving their understanding of the customer’s phyche, marketing the products, man-aging the pre-sale and resale activities, seeing through the demonstration of the solutions along with capabili-ties for deployment services. With a team of over 40 technical experts distributed nation-wide, Brightstar tailors the solutions to specific re-quirements of the customers and con-stantly supports them with a 24x7 help desk service.

In a recent initiative, Brightstar unveiled its Cloud portfolio, where the company has teamed up with Sonic Wall to offer its customers Security-as-a-Service – Brightstar Cloud. As a part of this model, the customers will be provisioned with the required security infrastructure on an OPEX basis, to be maintained and managed by Bright-star. WiFi-as-a-Service is also set to be launched soon.

I ndia holds the record for being one of the world’s largest internet and smartphone markets.

One of the most significant trends to challenge network administrators is the perme-ation of personal mobile de-vices used in the workplace. Hotspot solutions, mobility, traffic offloading, cloud com-puting, social media, big data and analytics, and BYOD are some of the key drivers that are propelling the growth of the networking market. In-sight and data accessibility, system and device interop-erability, improved internal and external data manage-ment are some of the topmost benefits that are directing enterprises towards the im-plementation of enterprise networking solutions in order to meet their existing and fu-ture business requirements. However, networking admin-istrators find themselves in a battle of ensuring a smooth transition from outmoded infrastructure to new soft-ware-driven architecture. Additionally, the ubiquity of

mobile devices is directly proportional to the increas-ing attack surface area, which is a key concern. Enterprises are on the lookout for solution providers that boast of a ro-bust and comprehensive suite of enterprise networking solutions and a team that pos-sesses the required skill-set and industry rich expertise.

Perfectly understanding the dilemma faced by most organizations, CIOReview comes to the fore with a list of “20 Most Promising En-terprise Networking Solu-tion Providers”. It displays a selection of renowned solu-tion providers in this domain with a proven track record of successful deployments by skilled professionals. A panel consisting of promi-nent CEOs, CIOs, industry analysts and CIOReview ed-itorial scrutinized a host of solution providers that have penetrated into this market and have finalized on a se-lect few vendors that con-tinually strive to meet and exceed every customer’s unique requirements.
