Greetings,

Zerowait has been the affordable choice for 24×7 NetApp support and upgrades for over two decades. During that time ZFS has matured into a formidable challenger to any  proprietary storage system.

We introduced SimplStor a decade ago to give customers a more affordable but new-built alternative to our legacy NetApp products. Configured with Linux and ZFS (or XFS or Windows Server if you prefer), SimplStor is a turnkey, built-to-order hardware and software solution backed by Zerowait’s proven 24×7 support that is fundamentally less expensive to buy and support.

Whether you need inexpensive long-term archival storage or a solution quick enough to keep up with your most demanding storage needs, SimplStor with ZFS gives you everything you love about NetApp, without the high prices!

• Snapshots
• Mirrors
• Replication
• Encryption
• 24/7/365 on call engineering and support
• Call home automated support
• Extended service and support plans

Feature-rich, reliable, fast and including 24×7 enterprise-level support, SimplStor has it all. And Zerowait storage experts can plan your entire SimplStor deployment and data migration.

Trusted by NetApp users around the world for over two decades, Zerowait is the Oldest Name in NetApp 3rd Party Support.

I’d like to tell you more about SimplStor and ZFS. Let’s talk, 1.302.996.9408 or sales@zerowait.com.

Zerowait’s NetApp experts are available 24×7 and we will NOT bust your budget! From boosting your productivity by answering a quick question, to an hour-plus of more involved troubleshooting or “how-to” training, Zerowait experts are just a phone call away. Zerowait’s IT Support (ITS) is a prepaid hourly support service that saves NetApp users time AND money, even if you need days or weeks of help.

For over two decades Zerowait has been the affordable alternative for all-things NetApp! And not just less expensive: After hundreds of satisfied customers, Zerowait engineers are trusted, time-tested NetApp experts.

More than just NetApp experts on-call, Zerowait offers NetApp FAS/V/AFF hardware support policies, expansion shelves and replacement parts. We even sell entire NetApp systems with transferable software licenses!

Whatever your NetApp needs, give us a call. Zerowait can help.

Last month I predicted companies would use 2021 to reinvest in neglected on-prem computing resources. The rush to the Cloud last year disappointed many:

• Losing control of critical digital assets
• Budget overruns
• Finger pointing after each security breach
• Frustrating service disruptions
• Unmet performance expectations

Using the Cloud is like renting, not like owning. You surrender control and security to others. Don’t let a vendor push you into the Cloud prematurely. Think it through carefully, and ask “what could go wrong?” Some Cloud uses might be fine, while another workload or critical data could be quite risky. Like putting all your eggs in one basket, dependance on a single platform that you do not own could ultimately come back to bite you. Hard.

For over twenty years Zerowait has delivered budget saving solutions to NetApp users. Let us help you stay on the platform you know and trust. Our 24×7 NetApp FAS/V/AFF hardware support protects you even after your filers are EOA/EOS/EOL. Our biggest bargain is off-lease NetApp controllers with transferable software licenses. These systems are available at prices far below any equivalent capacity or performance new from NetApp and can be supported by NetApp or Zerowait. We even have a warehouse with replacement parts and expansion capacity for almost any NetApp system. All NetApp hardware we sell is thoroughly tested and guaranteed by Zerowait, the oldest name in NetApp third-party support.

Don’t have money to burn? Call or email, we have many ways to help on-prem NetApp users navigate hard choices during difficult times. 1.888.811.0808 or sales@zerowait.com.

If You are Leaving the Cloud

The pandemic last year drove many into the cloud with stunning speed, some companies having no other alternative. After a decade of cloud marketing overhype to pave the way and then too little time for testing sample data sets or workload planning, companies simply dove into the cloud headfirst. Shocking budget overruns, mysterious service disruptions, performance disappointment, loss of control and finger pointing after successive security breaches are the all-too-common cloud complaints.

Zerowait provides an affordable on-prem alternative to the cloud. Not just less expensive, we are NetApp experts supporting customers like you for over twenty years. Let us help you stay on the platform you know and trust – and do it at a budget friendly price. Our 24×7 NetApp FAS/V/AFF hardware support is a bargain, even if your filer is EOS/EOL. We have a warehouse with replacement parts and expansion capacity for NetApp systems, even a large selection of controllers with transferable software licenses. Everything we ship is thoroughly tested by the NetApp experts at Zerowait.

What do you need to maximize your NetApp storage investment? Call or email: Zerowait can help. 1.888.811.0808 or sales@zerowait.com.

Zerowait has provided affordable 24×7 NetApp support for more than two decades! Do you need three months of support? Six months? Twelve? More? We have you covered at prices far below NetApp. And best of all, Zerowait is a company you can trust. No one has provided third-party NetApp support longer than Zerowait.

Zerowait supports NetApp FAS, AFF, and V-Series products, both current AND legacy units that NetApp has announced “End of Support”. Never feel pressured into that disruptive and expensive upgrade ever again. Let Zerowait be your bridge.

Is your data growing while your budgets are shrinking? No problem! We also have NetApp expansion shelves and even entire filers for sale. Always tested and 100% guaranteed, at prices far less than buying anything equivalent from NetApp.

Call or email, we have what you need for NetApp at prices you can afford.
