It runs completely against the traditional networking model where you buy switches and routers from a single vendor and then you run the network.

Besides this, they provide a lot of services in the field of Analytics as well.
How it all started.
A story of infinite struggles is involved behind the inception of any business or company. An idea needs to be nurtured and all the possible efforts are directed towards it.
S.KingstonSmiler started a career as a developer, and then he gradually started shifting his focus towards Pre-sales and Product Management side. Meanwhile, he met the cofounders, Santosh Danegoudar & Parul Agrawal of the Company, who are also from the Engineering background. Thinking deeply about the customers’ requirements and services, they started working on the consultant mode. They gathered confidence from the customers’ side because the number of customers was increased from a few to 10 in a span of two years. On the same notion, they were focusing more on building products and elongating the list of clientele. After giving a deep thought, they incepted the PalCNetworks.
How are they different?
In contemporary times, if you look at the network service provider companies, then they are only limited to provide you services like switching, routing, etc. And, the application service provider companies only focus on launching new applications with the help of newer and advanced technologies.
