Stick to Your Knitting

Many of the “Bigs” in the storage business chase the latest hype and change their product lines and business models to match the hype instead of their customer’s needs. They leave their knitting behind and pick up wood-carving AND pottery AND basket-weaving! Meanwhile, their support suffers, and myriad products come out too fast, prone to bugs. Bigs are trapped in this cycle. They can’t help it: Keeping the stock price up pretty much demands they be able to parrot the latest buzz and sell shiny objects. As a privately held company, though, Zerowait can focus on our customer’s needs, optimizing both the performance and longevity of their current storage investment, and assisting them in adding to their storage pool as needed.

Who has a better understanding of your requirements and challenges than you do? At Zerowait we stick to our knitting and provide on premise storage and services that matches your requirements instead of the latest techy fad.

ONE — Knitting hasn’t gone out of style!

Fashions change, but there will always be sweaters and scarves. They’re basic, like data storage. As you recall, it was not that long ago that NetApp sold you on their on-premise storage. Now they claim that’s old news, push Hybrid Cloud and say the equipment you have is end of life. But is it? Probably not. If you like your on-premise storage Zerowait has the expertise, parts and systems to provide support for the long term.

7-Mode Special: Start any new support contract for a NetApp 7-Mode system and get 15% off annual pricing. Applies to old and new customers. New system contracts only.

TWO – Choice of needles makes a difference!

Just as needles come in all shapes and sizes, Zerowait’s transferable licensed NetApp systems and upgrades can customize your storage to enhance the performance and capacity of your existing hardware.

THREE – A stitch in time saves you money!

Okay, so that one is a stretch. On the other hand, when it comes time to add on-premise storage, it pays to look at the options available from other storage vendors. Is your current vendor focused on Hype or on affordable and efficient storage solutions to meet your requirements? Zerowait’s SimplStor is built on our flexible platforms and includes outstanding call home diagnostic capabilities and is backed by the best service and support company in the NAS business.
