Zumasys First to Become Both a VMware & NetApp Cloud Service Provider

At Zumapalooza, the company's 5th annual Customer Solutions Summit being held today at the Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego, Zumasys announced that it is the first provider to achieve both VMware vCloud Power status and the NetApp Gold Service Provider designation. Specializing in migrating custom software applications to the Cloud, Zumasys as well announced that it is now live with production workload at the 407,000 sq. ft. SuperNAP Data Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. This latest platform utilizes NetApp Flash Cache to deliver maximum performance and Cisco Nexus Datacenter Switches providing 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. 

Built on VMware's revolutionary vCloud Director™ architecture, Zumasys unveiled a brand new resource pool-based pricing model which is expected to provide a more flexible and affordable path to the Cloud for businesses running custom applications. For the past 5 years, Zumasys has been a leading provider of Cloud computing leveraging the latest enterprise-class hardware technologies and rental licensing from Microsoft, Citrix and VMware.

"This is the most significant announcement in the history of our company and I am pleased we are able to continue capitalizing on our early entry into Cloud computing," says Paul Giobbi, President of Zumasys. "These new service provider relationships and technologies are allowing more companies to leverage our Cloud, during saving money and boosting productivity in the process."
