StoreGrid 4.2 BMR Plug-in. What is new?

Sri — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 01:27:53 +0000

StoreGrid Service Provider Edition 4.2 Beta is now available.

The new StoreGrid 4.2 BMR Plug-in can incrementally backup and fast restore a complete system with instant P2V support. By combining StoreGrid online backup solution with near-continuous disk imaging backup, MSPs and IT Service Providers can protect SMB businesses and offer disaster recovery by seamlessly restoring entire Windows server environment in the cloud or any virtualized environment.

StoreGrid 4.2 BMR Plug-in Key Highlights:

Live Backups. Backup the entire system at run-time and ensure the recovery of operating system and applications without reinstalling any software. Create disk clones of your entire hard disk and replace it with a new one without reinstalling operating systems and applications, saving hours of effort.
Disaster Recovery. In the event of unplanned downtime, you can ensure that the server is available to the end-user with StoreGrid virtualized backups.
Smart P2V. Create multiple recovery points within a few minutes of each other when using a Smart P2V in StoreGrid.
Disaster Prevention. IT service providers can test changes on a backed up image-level replica of the client’s production server in their virtual lab.
Business Continuity. With StoreGrid’s near-continuous backup solution, you can failover your client’s entire Windows server environment in the event of a server failure.

StoreGrid BMR Plugin enables instant recovery to a virtual server so that in the event of a hard disk crash it is only a small delta restores that will be necessary to get that server up and running on a virtual server. Switching to the fully operational and available virtual server does not require any more administrator action than selecting a point in time backup and telling it to power on.

Download the whitepaper to learn more about the StoreGrid BMR Plug-in. We suggest that you only install pre-release beta software on computers suitable for testing.

Whats a Zettabyte ?

N Sai — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 19:44:20 +0000

The Information complex competes with Astronomy in how much bigger its going to get and how far we are going to go. After Petabytes and Exabytes, we have been given the Zettabytes. Supposedly, you will hear a lot about this extraordinary quantum of data measurement by 2015 as per an infographic courtesy of Cisco on internet traffic though we have likely crossed this figure in terms of data created and stored worldwide.

The biggest contributor to all this data is video accounting for 50% of all internet by 2012 and the plethora of internet enabled devices such as smartphone, tablets, TV, Blu-ray players etc.

Though this huge amount of data and so called “shadow” data will be foreseen as a problem, we prefer to see it as an opportunity. Zukmo is already addressing ways to tackle your Zettabytes front & center and it is being equipped to handle all that information overload to be experienced in File sharing, Web content, Emails, Documents, Twitter, RSS feeds and Embedded Videos.

Lessons From Pitch San Francisco 2011 – Zukmo Is Going Social!

Kieran — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 21:30:35 +0000

On Thursday we had the pleasure attending Pitch San Francisco 2011, where technology startups from around the world converged on San Francisco’s AT&T Park to demo the next wave of products aimed at capturing the hearts, and minds (and yes, wallets, too) of consumers and enterprises everywhere. With close to a hundred presenters, several big-name VC firms, and thousands of techies in attendance, it was quite the hodgepodge of professionals and novices and was nothing short of a spectacular event.

Though we didn’t get a chance to fully demo Zukmo this time around, we did have the opportunity to explore lots of great products and discover some of the features that software users everywhere have come to value and embrace over the years. Now, it’s no surprise that cloud apps and solutions are a hot topic, but despite there having been more than 10 titles under which a company could categorize itself, it was striking to see that close to 50% of the companies in attendance identified their products as hosted SaaS or consumer Web solutions. Furthermore, many of them were deeply entrenched in the Web 2.0 space with crowdsourcing and social functions as their core value propositions.

Of the three award winners at the event (congratulations to all!), two of them (LawPivot and Doot) were crowdsourcing and social solutions, while the last (NetPlenish) was a data-driven app (but even that was something of a value-adding data aggregation site).

The value that comes from crowdsourced information is virtually indisputable. It’s the same reason that many organizations ascribe so much value to diversity. Nobody is the best at everything, so when a large group of diverse and intelligent people attack a problem from different angles, the best solution is far more likely to emerge from the collective pool of knowledge than if the problem was solved by a single person.

Additionally, on the purely social front (though we won’t even attempt to break down why we as humans are naturally social creatures), the fact is that we ascribe extra value to social experiences. A quick visualization of this would be to compare the thought of going to Disney World alone to that of going with five of your closest friends. Shared experiences mean a lot more to us than we might initially think, and in the last few years a lot of software developers have begun to recognize that.

Though we do still spend a considerable amount of time glued to our screens in an effort to bring you the best, those of us working on Zukmo love a social experience as much as you do. That’s why as we continue to flesh out Zukmo in it’s alpha phase we’ve started to focus on how we can make it more social. From enabling discussions around the content in your library to improving your content sharing capabilities, we’re determined ton bring you the best experience possible. If you have any ideas or suggestions for how we can make Zukmo more useful to you, tell us!

We Desperately Need New Information Management Systems

Kieran — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 13:39:16 +0000

Information is like currency: if you have a lot of it (and are willing to share) your perceived value to certain segments of society is automatically elevated. Whether that knowledge is relevant to a social circle, political institution, corporation, or any other segment, it’s your relative ability to contribute to the pool of collective knowledge that really matters. Being an informed person isn’t something that just happens, though. A valuable knowledge base can only be built with time and commitment.

Twenty years ago this process of gathering information and staying up to date could almost be considered a trivial task. Information flowed at a snail’s pace and there weren’t even that many channels to monitor. We could read the daily paper or a book, or talk to a friend, or watch the news, or listen to the radio… In any case staying up to date consisted of a few relatively simple tasks.

Fast forward to today and we quickly realize that advances in technology have allowed for the creation of countless new information feeds. More importantly, they have accelerated the flow of information delivery to real-time. Under most circumstances these would be considered wonderful advances but without currently adequate information management systems the value of the advances we have made in information delivery is greatly marginalized. We are simply overloaded with information.

I personally monitor more dynamic feeds than is probably productive. From Facebook, to Twitter, Reddit, CNN, TechCrunch, multiple Blogs, email threads and beyond, the sheer volume of information I encounter on even a minute-to-minute basis can sometimes be overwhelming. I do use a few tools (feed aggregators) to help me get by, but I’m still presented with the challenge of assessing what I should actually read in the moment. Sure, I can skim summaries of everything, but a great depth of knowledge in a single subject is infinitely more valuable today than a shallow knowledge of everything. A careful balance must then be struck.

A second issue presents itself in that while all this information is stored on a back-end server somewhere, if I want to buy that cool dog toy I read about last month, where should I even start looking in all of my feeds to find out where I saw it? How do I even conduct a search on half of these feeds anyway? A Google search of the entire public internet is only so effective, especially when the words “dog toy” pull up 18,800,000 results.

Before information sources and feeds take another leap forward in volume and speed of delivery, advances have to be made that can help us organize, recall, and ultimately derive more value from what we already receive. Zukmo is taking that challenge head-on, but that’s something for another post.

A Brief Glimpse into Zukmo’s Past

Kieran — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 18:13:24 +0000

It’s difficult to believe, given how far we’ve come, that Zukmo’s alpha launch was just a little over a year ago. With the tremendous pace at which things have been progressing we’ve seldom had the time to sit down and reflect on the events that actually led up to where we are today.

Zukmo’s story really began with our CEO, Sekar Vembu. As a co-founder and business unit head for the now wildly successful Zoho Corporation (formerly known as AdventNet), Sekar’s experience and reputation for excellence truly preceded him when he finally left to found Vembu Technologies in 2004, a now highly acclaimed, award winning backup and cloud storage provider, and also our parent company.

As the leader of a thriving organization in a very competitive industry Sekar did (and still does) a lot of online research to stay ahead of the competition and market. Over the course of the first four years managing Vembu, this pool of information (which he used to make critical business decisions) became increasingly scattered and unmanageable. As a result, he quickly set out to find a solution. With no information management tools comprehensive enough to keep track of his research, notes, subscriptions, accounts, customers, and everything else he knew that he couldn’t be alone in the need for something better, and so the idea to create the Zukmo solution was born.

Now, we frequently receive numerous questions about how we received our name and we’ll start by saying that much thought went into it. So much so, in fact, that for several months during the early development phase Zukmo was just known as the “information overload product”. It wasn’t until our former director, Kumar Krishnasami, stumbled upon the novel Lojban word Zukmo’i, which means “to remember doing something”, that he finally committed to a name. The roadmap and goals at the time outlined a tool that could organize and remember everything so that you wouldn’t have to. Our CEO Sekar then aptly coined the slogan “Remember Nothing, Zukmo Everything!” Needless to say, the current roadmap has changed considerably and is continuously evolving as we learn more about what we can do to simplify the process of information management for our users.

Since last year, under the newly appointed directorship of Sai Venkat, Zukmo has reached milestones that have broadened the scope and horizon of Zukmo to our valued customers. We’re happily neck-deep in plans for added features and product integrations and we’d love to hear your suggestions for further improving the Zukmo suite of tools. Of course, we can’t think of everything, and Zukmo really is built for you! If you have any feedback or recommendations we’d love to hear them, so feel free to email us at feedback@zukmo.com! We look forward to hearing from you!

A First Hand Look at Enhancing Productivity With Zukmo’s Information Management Tools

Kieran — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 21:19:31 +0000

Zukmo is in the process of revolutionizing how we manage our information sources, documents, files, and media. Today, bookmarks are stored in our browsers, documents are strewn across desktops or cloud-accounts, friends and coworkers are encountered more on social networks than in person, and RSS updates are handled just about everywhere. Zukmo is taking aim at the traditionally scattered means by which we access our information, bringing it all together in a lightweight cloud-based app that is becoming drastically more powerful and versatile with each new week’s release. As someone who has benefitted greatly from using it, I’ll take this opportunity to explain a few of the features that help me become a more effective marketer here at Zukmo – But first, a little background.

Starting at Zukmo last month was actually a bit of a culture shock for me. We’re a pretty early phase company and I was making the shift from the structured, pampered, everything-within-arm’s-reach corporate environment, to working in a globally distributed start-up. This meant doing anything and everything needed to get the job done, and required a personal stake in the search and development of resources to handle my workflow, communications, projects and deadlines. Probably the largest part of my job as a marketing student/analyst/associate/strategist (hey, I said we’re a start-up!) was and still is research, and without a formal content management solution, that endeavor started out less ideally than I would have liked it to, putting things lightly.

With hardly a week’s passing, a plethora of spreadsheets, Word documents, Web pages, and emails littered both my computer’s desktop and my desk’s top (ha!). It’s a natural part of hitting the ground running: adapting to a new set of demands and a new organizational structure. Still, the speed at which this is done matters, and not adapting quickly enough could mean serious efficiency issues down the road. It probably didn’t help, that the level of commitment and talent within the Zukmo team is nothing short of extraordinary, and the pace at which most people work here sometimes still leaves me short of breath. Needless to say, I was already experiencing the growing strain of my resources not being up to par and thus had to quickly decide on systems to manage each aspect of my work. For handling my research, I chose Zukmo.

Now, it’s fair to accuse me of being biased; I do work here, after all. But I didn’t choose Zukmo because I had someone breathing down my neck. On the contrary, my direct supervisor is 7,500 miles away. I chose Zukmo because internal discussions convinced me that it was slated to be one of, if not the most powerful and versatile information management tool around. When I first created my library not even the notes function was fully implemented. In fact, most of the features we now tout weren’t implemented at the time. It’s amazing to see how far we’ve come in such a short time, but even back then there was still one feature that worked like a charm: Bookmarking. This actually served as the ideal tool to start building my research database, seeing as most of my research (and, thus, most of my problems) came from the Web.

When starting to use Zukmo to help me fill the gargantuan shoes I was handed, virtually everything was new to me. I decided that my first step should be to familiarize myself with Zukmo as a product, so I downloaded the Firefox toolbar and bookmarked every Webpage that seemed like it might help me wrap my head around marketing.

From SEO ideas and analytics, to blogs and related products like Historious, Delicious, and Readitlater, I found that, even using Zukmo as a place to store my growing content, it was rapidly becoming unmanageable. I found that each content piece had quite a defined use, from SEO to Blogging tips, interesting notes, and the like. Using Zukmo’s tagging feature enabled me to further segment my library for easy content retrieval, allowing me to derive even greater utility from what started out as a single mass of information.

I could even share important content with my coworkers right from Zukmo, which continues to help me in disseminating interesting research.

I’m confident that no matter how large my library gets, with Zukmo I’ll easily find what I’m looking for.

Zukmo continues to serve me well as a research library, but one important new feature even enhances my own effectiveness as a marketer with little if any upkeep. Zukmo’s RSS feed handler acts as my own personal research assistant. Once I’ve vetted that an RSS feed is relevant to me and choose to track it in Zukmo, all of the feed’s post history and future updates are automatically imported into my library, indexed, and become a part of my search queries. The RSS feed handler makes staying up to date, and more importantly, being more effective in my job, much easier.

Zukmo’s power and versatility as an information management tool has worked wonders for my effectiveness as a marketer by enabling me to organize and access all of my content in one place; it even keeps me up to date with the subjects and information that I find important. Whether you, too, are looking for something to make you more effective in the roles you play at work, school or home, or are merely looking for something to improve the organization and accessibility of all of your content, you may be surprised by what Zukmo can help you accomplish!

Ensure Continuous Access to Your Delicious Bookmarks from Your Zukmo Library

Kieran — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 00:01:00 +0000

Several weeks ago it came to our attention that Delicious’s acquisition could result in suspended support for using Yahoo! accounts to access their services. To ensure uninterrupted access to your Delicious bookmarks in Zukmo we have altered the way we exchange data with Delicious.

We request that if you currently use your Yahoo! username and password to sync your Delicious bookmarks with your Zukmo library, that you instead use your Delicious-provided username and password. This can be done via the following:

1) Log in to your Zukmo account

2) Hover your mouse over your username displayed at the top of the screen. In the drop-down menu that appears, click on the “My Account” link

3) On the page that appears, click on the “Sync with Delicious” tab on the left-most vertical menu

4) At the bottom of the screen, enter your Delicious username and password and click on the “Validate Account” link.

Completing the above steps will ensure that access to your Delicious bookmarks in Zukmo will be uninterrupted should support for Yahoo! accounts be discontinued. If you experience any issues syncing your Delicious account with Zukmo please contact us at help@zukmo.com.

Avoid Waiting for Automatic Updates – Update Your Zukmo Browser Button Instantly!

Kieran — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 07:07:32 +0000

Every new release opens an exciting new chapter for our users, improving their ability to store and manage information with Zukmo. With the rapid release of so many new features and improvements, however, we sometimes find ourselves in a bit of a conundrum with our constantly updated browser buttons.

Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Microsoft Internet Explorer, and Apple Safari go through a rigorous review process to ensure that each update we submit is clean, free of issues, and offers a streamlined, integrated experience with their browser. This, of course, takes time on their end, and until they complete the process and post our update to their site (also automatically notifying you/updating your browser button), our users can sometimes be left without the features that we’ve promised.

We’d like to let you know that any updates to our browser buttons are available immediately after each release. If you’re having trouble accessing any of Zukmo’s functions you can update your browser button from our direct download page

If a direct update doesn’t solve the issue in question please contact us directly at help@zukmo.com. Alternatively, if you have any suggestions about how we can make Zukmo more useful for you, shoot us an email at feedback at feedback@zukmo.com. We’d love to speak to you about them!

Major Release Announcement

Kieran — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 23:31:38 +0000

As many of you already know (and the rest are about to find out) we’ve been hard at work here at Zukmo over the last few weeks. With just a month’s passing since our last major release, we’re pleased to announce the release of several major enhancements to greatly improve your Zukmo experience. These changes aim to significantly improve the number and quality of content sources that Zukmo can import and handle, and further extend user account management abilities. If you’re just interested in the raw information regarding to the update (TLDR), feel free to browse to the table at the bottom of this article, otherwise, read on!

Notes and Web Clippings:

Until today’s release users needed to import whole content sources to their libraries, even if only a small portion of it was of interest to them. We recognized the need for something more adaptable and that’s why we’re pleased to announce one of our most exciting new features: notes and web clippings. Users browsing through web content who are interested in only select portions can now simply highlight the desired content and use the right-click menu to import it to Zukmo as a note. Notes can also be made from directly within a user’s Zukmo library. Play with it. Learn to love it! These tools aim to make your library more useful, and your life a lot easier.

RSS and Atom Feed Handling:

Speaking of easier, how about those RSS feeds? They do the job of aggregating content on the stuff that’s interesting to us, but what if we follow more than one? For that, we’re pleased to introduce our new RSS feed handler. Think of it as your RSS feed for your RSS feeds. It’s a brain-full, but that’s what we’re here to help alleviate! Users can now subscribe to up to 10 of their favorite RSS feeds directly from Zukmo. This can be done by either by right-clicking the RSS feed button and selecting “Add this link to Zukmo”, or by inputting the feed’s link into the Zukmo library’s bookmark tool.

RSS feed content (title and description) is stored to the RSS section of the library. The option to go a level deeper and store an entire article is also available by simply bookmarking the article itself once it is opened. This permanently saves the article as a separate bookmarked item.

Twitter Changes:

With the way we handle RSS feeds, we’ve chosen to make a few changes to what users can do with their Twitter accounts. On the Twitter website you might find yourself overwhelmed looking for old tweets, but count on avoiding that with us! The latest 1000 of a user’s tweets, and 1500 of a user’s following tweets are now saved to the user’s library, and are indexed for searching. We decided to take it a step further and created an option to add any tweet URLs displayed in a tweet, as an indexed bookmark if desired.

Enhanced Account Management:

In an effort to provide you with better control over your account, we have integrated new areas for users to enable/disable/re-activate their linked accounts. By clicking on an activated service in the upper portion of the screen, a pop-up window will provide the option to disable the service and to additionally retain or delete indexed content associated with the account.

In addition, we have implemented an account usage stats area in the “My Account” profile page. This will display various data regarding a user’s account and the composition their stored data

Changes to Delicious Integration:

With the acquisition of Delicious by the founders of YouTube, there have been several changes to the way Delicious feeds their data to us. Rest assured that we’ve worked to make this transition period as seamless as possible. As it stands, users can continue to import Delicious bookmarks to Zukmo with a linked Delicious account, as they are slated to disable servicing of Yahoo! accounts soon.

Miscellaneous:

Always last, but rarely least, we’ve also done some housecleaning to improve the way Zukmo looks and feels. In our official releases, you can always look below to see a list of the things we’ve changed if you’re interested. Of course, as we always like to remind our users, we rely on your help to improve Zukmo. If you have any feedback, comments, or questions, feel free to contact us at feedback@zukmo.com. We look forward to hearing from you. Happy Zukmoing!

Zukmo: Ahead of the Curve

Kieran — Tue, 02 Aug 2011 15:25:48 +0000

One of the many responsibilities of working in the rapidly evolving software industry is the need to rapidly respond to new trends and developments. One such development that really caught our eye was the recent acquisition of $2.5M in funding by Readitlater, a company with a product that many have pointed out to us very much resembles Zukmo. Given the a obvious similarities, we decided that we’d take the opportunity to outline what actually make Zukmo and Readitlater very unique products.

Though we could write paragraph after paragraph about why Zukmo and Readitlater aren’t exactly in the same market space (Readitlater focuses on one-time reads, Zukmo focuses on longer-term information management solutions, Readitlater stores content offline while Zukmo indexes it in the cloud for easy management, etc.), a chart always seems to do the trick a little bit better:

	ZUKMO	READITLATER
Functions
Desktop document support	Yes	No
Notetaking	Coming Soon!	No
Web clipping	Coming Soon!	No
Web bookmarking	Yes	Yes
Direct RSS feed handling	Coming Soon!	No

As it’s easy to see, Zukmo and Readitlater actually differ quite significantly, and Zukmo continues to grow in terms of integration and functionality, weekly. We aren’t aiming for anything less than the best information management tool around. In order to actually shape Zukmo into the best, though, we need your help! Please send us any feedback or suggestions you might to feedback@zukmo.com. We look forward to hearing from you!
