Zerowait Corporation

I like Spam, but don’t consider it to be an acceptable substitute for the turkey in my Thanksgiving dinner. Similarly, I don’t think many of our customers would consider buying NetApp parts from Craigslist as an acceptable solution for their legacy NetApp. Zerowait has a recipe for successful NetApp support that we have been improving upon for over for well over 20 years. If you have NetApp equipment, then Zerowait has the support solutions that you need.

Some of my friends like to outsource Thanksgiving dinner to restaurants or other food colo-centers or Dinner Service Providers (DSP). I have found that the costs of outsourcing Thanksgiving dinner can be significant, and that quality control can waver. Plus, outsourcing storage and engineering can have significant costs, and often the vendor does not understand the nuances that are involved with serving data consistently, on time and within budget. Zerowait has a range of data storage solutions on our menu–from NetApp transferable licensed filers to our own SimplStor line available in ZFS, XFS and Windows.

A good Thanksgiving dinner usually ends with some great pie choices. I enjoy Pumpkin pie, Pecan Pie, and Apple pie. It is often hard to choose among them and I may take a bit of each. Zerowait offers hardware solutions, technical support and hardware replacement policies and many of our customers order a combination of all three.

Above all, Thanksgiving dinner is best when it can be enjoyed with family and good friends. Zerowait has been working with many of our customers for over two decades, and many have become good friends. We wish you a happy Thanksgiving and hope that we can catch up soon to discuss how we can help you set the table for a successful storage solution.

You don’t need an economics degree to see the trendlines. GDP in all sectors doesn’t look good. Inflation, layoffs, supply chain issues, and energy availability issues are affecting productivity. Business is going to get more difficult, and budgets are going to tighten in the next few months.

Most of our hardware ships by FedEx and UPS and there have been some SNAFUs in their deliveries over the last few months. Our SimplStor hardware supply chain consists of several vendors and while there have been spotty issues in getting certain components, we have been able to stock up on things that are in short supply and have had only minor delays.

If you have reached an inflection point and need to make a decision about supporting your EOS NetApp systems, or are seeking an alternative on-prem, affordable storage solution, Zerowait can help.

Energy: In California and Europe particularly, energy costs and availability are increasingly unpredictable. What happens if an application or data is unavailable due to power rationing? Will this be scheduled or sudden? No one knows. Zerowait’s engineers can help customers prepare with implementation of a failover strategy to another location.

Supply Chain: New upgrades were ordered; but where are they? Is there even a date given for shipment? Many customers are caught in supply chain limbo. Their infrastructure upgrade is partially completed with a mix of hardware, varying OS versions and firmware, all difficult to manage, let alone perform replication and fail over. Zerowait has hardware inventory and support policies for customers that need to extend the life of their legacy equipment, or bridge that gap while their new equipment is entangled in the supply chain with an unknown delivery date.

Economic Uncertainty: Customers’ budgets and plans have radically changed over the last year due to inflation. With costs rising for everything, they need to be cautious with spending for equipment and hiring. Offloading applications to cloud providers seemed like a simple solution during the lockdowns, but now the cloud bills seem like a force 5 hurricane obliterating IT budgets. Zerowait’s transferable licensed NetApp Filers and SimplStor Storage solutions provide safe, secure, and affordable storage solutions.

If you are looking for alternatives to your storage support and infrastructure, Zerowait has the Answers! We look forward to talking with you.

We’re all familiar with products that just keep ticking: Timex® watches, the Energizer® Bunny…NetApp® filers. Founded in 1992–only a couple of years after Zerowait® (1989)—NetApp has a well-earned reputation for high quality networked data storage products. As with Timex and Energizer, the engineering is superb, the features are rich, and the hardware runs seemingly forever.

It’s one of the reasons that Zerowait found its niche in long-term support of NetApp’s EOS/EOL equipment. Although most of our customers have systems less than 10 years old, we have an astonishing number of 15+ year-old systems currently covered under our Zerowait Parts Assurance (ZPA).

It’s our pleasure to help keep them going! If you have a legacy filer (FAS, V, or AFF) that’s been abandoned by NetApp, but is still your workhorse, let us know how we can help you maintain it for a good, healthy, long time!

If you manage a data infrastructure you are juggling price increases, limited availability and manpower shortages. You know that prices are going up and lead times are being extended, but you can’t tell which issue will affect your QoS until you begin to place orders for the equipment. Many companies in this position rightly decide that, if the new upgrades are not available from their OEM at a price that fits within their budget, they will just continue to use their current equipment and skip this upgrade cycle. It makes sense to hunker down in hard times, and Zerowait can provide you the hardware, service and support solutions that keep your current equipment running until the storm passes.

We have been supporting NetApp equipment for over 20 years, and have developed a full-featured array of engineering, monitoring and support solutions for companies of all sizes. From extended maintenance to disk drives to transferable licensed filers, we have the solutions to your problems.

If you are tired of OEM mandates and forced obsolescence, Zerowait’s SimplStor line of storage servers have been embraced by companies that need a semi custom hardware solution that can run ZFS, XFS and windows, and can be delivered rapidly.

The winds are strong, but Zerowait has the answers. Please contact us at +1 302-996-9408 or by email at sales@zerowait.com.
