Zukmo has come a very long way in the last few months and we’d like to take a quick moment to remind everyone about what Zukmo really is and does.

Zukmo solves this problem … Read the rest

It was interesting to see the results of the ‘cloud hosting awareness survey’ conducted by RackSpace that more than two thirds of the SMBs in US are not familiar with the term “Cloud Hosting” – Wow!
