StarNet Communications Corporation was founded in 1989 and incorporated in 1990 by engineers working part-time out of their home. Their corporate mission was to create and market powerful, yet affordable PC-X server products for corporate, education and government markets.
The first X Server product, MicroX, was launched in 1991. It enabled users of 286 and 386-based Intel systems to access the X Window System from their personal computers. Being self-financed, they lacked the resources for traditional sales and marketing operations. So the founders decided to utilize the internet for delivering the product and providing tech support for its customers. StarNet was quite possibly the first company to base its entire business model on the internet, because in 1991, the internet was mostly used by universities and government agencies. As a result, and aided by its low cost, simplicity and focus on the X server functionality, X-Win32 quickly became popular in these sectors.
In the late 1990s, they actively sought to broaden their share of the corporate sector, then dominated by half a dozen solutions costing two to four times as much. Their competitors typically offered a suite of solutions, mostly non-X server related (FTP, NFS, terminal emulation, etc.). As the enterprise market shifted towards more focused solutions, many firms found that X-Win32 nicely fit their needs and budget. Today, in the market for LAN-based legacy PC X servers, X-Win32 remains as one of three leading solutions along with OpenText's Exceed and Attachmate’s Reflection X. StarNet has also take a Top 3 position in the market for modern client-server solutions where it competes with OpenText's Exceed OnDemand and NX from NoMachine.
As competitors merged or otherwise couldn’t keep up with the changing market, StarNet has grown its market share by bringing a steady stream of innovations to the market, starting in 2000 with integrating SSH and most recently with FastX which allows users to access their remote Linux and Unix desktop through standard PC browsers. Recently, FastX became the first remote Linux display solution to offer the display of Linux desktops using a standard browser. Now users can Linux access their Linux environment from any device with a browser, including iPads and smart phones. FastX is also the first-enable solution that is optimized for use with Amazon Web Services (AWS).
