[edit] History
xkoto Inc. was founded in 2005 as a result of research and development work at Halcyon Monitoring Solutions Inc. http://www.halcyoninc.com, an infrastructure management vendor with a global customer base including SMEs and Fortune 100 firms from every industry.
The corporate charter for xkoto is well expressed in its etymology: "xkoto" is a transliteration of two Greek words which taken together convey the idea of "out of darkness, out of chaos". In effect, xkoto intends to "turn the lights on", transforming emerging technologies into productive solutions.
