Cloud Computing Provider Doubles the Capacity of its Cisco-Based Hosting Platform at SuperNAP | Zumasys Opens 5,000 Sq. Ft. Office in Las Vegas, Nevada

LAS VEGAS, Sept. 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- At Zumapalooza, Zumasys' 6^th annual Customer Solutions Summit being held today at the Red Rock Resort, the company announced its opening of a new 5,000 sq. ft. office in Las Vegas, NV. The unique property is part of Loft Works, which combines office, warehouse and an upstairs loft apartment into one cohesive space. Zumasys' new office is located at 6405 S. Tenaya Way #110, Las Vegas, NV 89113

Zumasys, a leading provider of Cloud Computing and infrastructure solutions for small-and-medium sized businesses, initially came to Las Vegas two years ago to build its newest self-service Cloud Computing platform within Switch SuperNAP, the world's largest and most powerful data center.  However, that vision has grown to include the relocation of several employees from its headquarters in Irvine, California; the hiring of local project management resources; and the doubling of its co-location footprint within SuperNAP.

As part of its expansion, Zumasys also announced that it has upgraded its entire installed-based of production data center servers to Cisco's Unified Computing and Servers (UCS) blade technology. A next-generation data center platform, Cisco UCS unites computing, 10 Gigabit networking, storage access and virtualization into a cohesive system that is ideal for the Zumasys cloud. Zumasys is leveraging UCS Manager, a unified, policy-based management tool, to further reduce management and administration expenses on its platform.

"Cisco's UCS compute platform delivers on the promise of rapid, elastic server provisioning for Zumasys' cloud computing customers," says Tami Newcomb Vice President of Sales for Cisco Systems, Inc. "We are pleased that Zumasys made the shift from HP to UCS as the underlying platform for its cloud customers and we look forward to the continued partnership between our two companies."

"Our Cloud Computing revenues continue to grow at a rate in excess of 30% per year and Las Vegas is the ideal destination for our continued data center expansion," says Paul Giobbi, Co-Founder and President of Zumasys, Inc. "By leveraging Cisco's blade technology and the world class facility that is SuperNAP, Zumasys is ready to meet this growing demand. Over the next year Zumasys will continue to expand office space at Loft Works as we continue to increase our production platform within SuperNAP. We are excited to be a part of the burgeoning technology renaissance that is happening in Las Vegas." 

Built on VMware's revolutionary vCloud Director™ architecture, Zumasys' hosting platform provides a flexible and affordable path to the Cloud for businesses running custom software, ERP systems, accounting packages and even legacy systems.
