Because our company deals with NetApp&#8217;s customers who have lost  the faith, or can no longer afford the cost of NetApp maintenance we hear a lot of grumbling about NetApp. They come to Zerowait because they want an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zerowait.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Affordable Alternative to NetApp<\/span><\/a> that provides service, support and upgrades and can be depended on.

NetApp won&#8217;t get any more software revenue from the customer, the customer won&#8217;t have the great features a NetApp filer provides, and Zerowait won&#8217;t get a continuing service and support contract. It is one of the strange things about our business, the more business we do, the more OnTap software revenue NetApp gets to keep  from our customers. <\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><img width='1' height='1' src='https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/11084229-114657694746939299?l=zerowait.blogspot.com' alt='' \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Character is much easier kept, than recovered. &#8211; Thomas Paine Company reputations are gained and lost one customer at a time.
