During a typical week at Zerowait I get two or three calls from emerging storage vendors, that would like us to introduce them to our client base. Part of the job of being President of a company is to decide which products are worth looking at. It should not be surprising that most companies do not emerge with a viable product from their labs, no matter what the marketing and sales folks tell you. <\/p>\n
At Zerowait, we believe in testing products in real world environments, but we also like to check out whether a company plans to be in business for a while. So many of our customers complain about the orphaned products that are part of their infrastructures, that we check out the emerging companies business plans and finances carefully before we reccomend a product. I don’t want to recommend a product that will become a critical part of a company’s infrastructure, but have no supprt within two years. Not surpisingly very few companies meet the criteria of our customers for a viable product. Extinction is a fact of life on this planet, and also a fact of business.<\/p>\n
Business is about profit and loss, but also about risk. Our customers depend on us to help them manage their risk at a reasonable cost. Our NetApp products support business grows weekly because Zerowait is focused on providing outstanding value to our customers. There are a lot of interesting technologies being developed currently and I am looking forward to seeing one or two that can help our customers increase their profits while decreasing their risks.<\/p>\n
