What GST does

GST (Golden Star Technology) is a privately held, woman-owned systems integrator founded in 1985 and headquartered in Cerritos, California. The company delivers end-to-end IT and audio-visual solutions across six vertical markets — education, state and local government, federal government, healthcare, commercial enterprise, and hospitality/gaming — serving customers that include UCLA, Cal State Fullerton, LAPD, LAFD, March Air Reserve Base, MGM Resorts, and Wynn Resorts. Its core capability is single-partner accountability for multi-vendor technology deployments, spanning client computing, networking, cloud, data center, security, unified communications, collaboration, digital signage, video walls, video surveillance, and access control, with integration services delivered through certified partnerships with HP, HPE, Aruba, Microsoft, Crestron, Extron, Veeam, Sony, Cisco, and Samsung.

The business operates as a value-added reseller and channel partner, generating revenue through three streams: technology hardware and software resale, professional and technical services (system design, installation, configuration, training, IT staffing), and recurring managed services with 24/7 monitoring. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, with multi-year contracts typical for enterprise and government accounts. GST holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 27001:2022, NIST 800-171, ITAR, O-TTPS, GIDEP, and WBENC certifications, supporting eligibility for federal and defense-adjacent procurement. Distribution is executed through a direct enterprise field-sales motion in Southern California with a claimed global logistics capability for worldwide deployment. Recognition on CRN's Solution Provider 500 (2025 and 2026) and consecutive Inc. Best Workplaces awards position GST as an established mid-market regional integrator rather than a high-growth disruptor.
