Our customers have come to us for support of their NetApp equipment in some of the most demanding environments for over 20 years, and they have been adding our SimplStor storage hardware to their NetApp environments for over a decade. Why? Because we continue to focus on what we do best: on-premise storage support and sales.<\/p>\n<p>Many of the \u201cBigs\u201d in the storage business chase the latest hype and change their product lines and business models to match the hype instead of their customer\u2019s 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\u2019t 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\u2019s needs, optimizing both the performance and longevity of their current storage investment, and assisting them in adding to their storage pool as needed.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zerowait.com\/quote-requests\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/zerowait.com\/images\/store\/products\/zpaQuoteBannernew.png\" alt=\"Zerowait provides EOL support for NetApp filers!\" width=\"135\" height=\"105\" align=\"right\" hspace=\"5\" \/><\/a><b>ONE<\/b> &#8212; Knitting hasn&#8217;t gone out of style!<\/p>\n<p>Fashions change, but there will always be sweaters and scarves.
