•    What can you tell us about the company itself?
Zycko is privately held and has been profitable since inception in 2000, when the company’s original charter was to market data networking accessories to resellers as a wholesale distributor.  Zycko now employs 250 staff, serving over 3,000 resellers around the world from eleven offices on four continents.  The company enjoys an annual turnover of more than $180m.

•    What are your most popular solutions or services?
It is hard to pinpoint our most popular solutions or services, as they all address different areas that are all current topics within IT. I would guess overall data management (which encapsulates several of our solutions), and datacentre control plus environmentals, currently offer some particularly hot messaging to end-users.
