Starbak Communications operated in the enterprise video communications sector, providing solutions for streaming and managing video content. The company's offerings were designed to assist large organizations with their internal and external video distribution needs, such as executive webcasts, corporate training, and marketing communications.
The core of Starbak's business was its hardware and software platforms that managed the encoding, distribution, and consumption of video over corporate networks. This included appliances that could be installed within a company's data center to handle video processing and streaming, aiming to deliver high-quality video without congesting network bandwidth. The company served a clientele of large enterprises that required a secure and scalable way to leverage video for business purposes.
Founded in the late 1990s, the company established itself in the growing market for enterprise video. In a significant strategic move, Starbak was acquired by Rimage Corporation in 2011. Rimage, a company with a history in data storage and disc publishing, sought to expand its portfolio into the burgeoning field of video communications through this acquisition. Following the integration, the Starbak technology and expertise were absorbed into Rimage's evolving business strategy, which later placed a greater emphasis on enterprise video under the name Qumu. Starbak's existence as an independent entity concluded with this acquisition, and its technology became a component of Rimage's broader digital media and video content management offerings.
