These days everyone seems to be in the cloud computing game, but back in 2006 Zumasys was paving the way for cloud transformations before many providers caught onto the trend.The Zumasys Cloud was launched in 2006 with the migration of the company's first cloud customer. Today, tens-of-thousands of users rely on the company's cloud platform to access their most critical applications 24/7/365. Since the company is an infrastructure and cloud solution provider, they claim to set themselves apart from both the big-name commodity cloud partners and the various cloud startups just now coming on the scene with a balanced approach to cloud computing.Zumasys has a unique culture of philanthropy that has already given away nearly $1 million to 250 different nonprofit organizations and individuals across the globe.

Prior to obtaining office space of their own, briteCITY once rented out a few desks from Zumasys, where I would work when I was in town.
