As a company anticipating rapid growth, Zulahoo was looking for a scalable and flexible cloud-based solution.
With a need to move from its existing physical infrastructure, Zulahoo required a partner that could provide a cloud solution with the ability to scale rapidly and affordably. After considering a variety of cloud vendors, Zulahoo selected ViaWest for its flexible virtual environment and personalized support.

In addition, the availability of ViaWest’s monitoring platform allows Zulahoo to manage growth by tracking usability and determining when additional on-demand resources, such as CPE storage and processing power, should be added.

ViaWest not only provides the training and tool sets to manage growth, but their superior level of customer support is at the foundation of their success. There are many options for cloud solutions in the marketplace but the level of interaction and support ViaWest provides ensures our needs are always top of mind. ”
