Zooomr (Zooomr headquaters live) ist ein Fotodienst ähnlich wie Flickr. Und Zooomr hatte ein großes Problem mit ihren Servern. Robert "Scobleizer" Scoble veröffentlichte am 29. Mai einen Hilferuf (An evangelism opportunity…):
I just got off the phone with Kristopher Tate and they are really in dire need of new database machines to get their servers back up.
Zooomr brauchte dringend neue Server, und Robert Scoble wollte den Jungs helfen.
It’s interesting. Lots of companies claim to care about startups. Here’s a chance to help one. And, even, get one to switch from LAMP to Windows or something else. Anyone in?
Zoho erhörte den Hilferuf und half. Robert Scoble war mitten in der Nacht dabei und bekam dabei auch noch etwas von Googles Datacenter mit (Hanging out in the Zoho data center):
There are hundreds of Google computers surrounding the Zoho cage. I wish I could take pictures in here (they don’t allow photography). But I’m even more impressed with Google now that I have seen a small part of their data center infrastructure.
Zooomr ist seit dem 2. Juni wieder online (Zooomr Mark III is Born):
There are so many people to thank for making Mark III possible. I’m reluctant to even try… but Dave Sifry, Robert Scoble, Michael Arrington, Raju and everyone at Zoho, Michael Dell and Dell Computer, Sun Microsystems, John Furrier and Podtech, Ben Metcalfe, Caroline, hdiwan, Denise, Johnnie and UStream, Rev Dan Catt, Heather, Shawn Sorichetti, Steve Cohen, Jeremiah Owyang and so many, many other people.
Und Raju von Zoho ist auch total aus dem Häuschen (Zooomr Mark III Launches):
Once Robert Scoble put us in touch with Kris and Thomas, things moved fast. We managed to get Zooomr into one of our Zoho/AdventNet data centers and couple of days later, Zooomr Mark III is online.
The Zooomr community was exceptional. I received close to 100 emails thanking us for helping Zooomr. I can clearly say that these are very passionate Zooomr users.
Ende gut, alles gut. Super Story!
