During the Financial Panic of 2008 and 2009 some of these customers asked Zerowait to develop an affordable Petabyte storage solution offering Single Namespace support.<\/p>\n<p>Mike Linett, President of Zerowait said, \u2018Our customers have guided the development of this product from the beginning. The idea of an affordable Petabyte originated with one of our large scientific customers, and the need was confirmed by several of our well known animation customers. We\u2019re confident our clients will find <a href=\"http:\/\/www.SimplStor.com\">SimplStor <\/a> a reliable, cost effective solution for large volume secondary storage.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Storage industry analysts are taking notice. \u2018Zerowait is out in front of a nagging set of trends, regulatory and economic, that see companies searching for an effective method for storing large quantities of file based data for many years,\u2019 says Jon Toigo, noted tech industry watchdog and consumer ombudsman and CEO of <a href=\"http:\/\/toigopartners.com\/portal\/\">Toigo<\/a> Partners International. \u201cZerowait  SimplStor is truly customer driven and tuned, both in terms of cost of ownership and capacity, to what businesses need today to cope with the data deluge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Farat Buta, Director of European Operations says, \u2018Our customers have been asking us when we would be providing the affordable SimplStor Petabyte product in Europe. We pushed to introduce it in September as this is when many of our customers are finalizing their budgets\u2019. When asked about the cost of a Petabyte of storage Mr. Buta said, \u201cSimplStor\u2019s price point is significantly lower than the competition and provides our customers with a reliable, cost effective replacement for their tape archives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Buta continued, \u2018Our customers require enterprise level service and support, and insisted that we integrate an automated support solution into the SimplStor product line. SimplSupport met or exceeded their expectations\u2019. Mr. Buta added, \u2018SimplStor is a Single Namespace Petabyte storage solution with a price point that competes with cloud archive solutions without the security issues of an outsourced solution.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The response to our SimplStor Petabyte has been extremely strong, and during the week of August 30th, 2010 we will be meeting with a number of customers in the UK to finalize their configurations and delivery schedules.\u2019 said Michael Linett<\/p>\n<p>About Zerowait Corporation: Headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware (USA), Zerowait is internationally recognized for honesty, integrity and expertise in third-party, high-availability NetApp data <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zerowait.com\/currentspecials.html\">storage <\/a> and support solutions.  302.996.9408<\/p>\n<p>For more info on our UK and European services contact Farat Buta &#8211; Manchester, UK &#8211; (+44) (0) 800.0121.801<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><img width='1' height='1' src='https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/11084229-1168116853938821776?l=zerowait.blogspot.com' alt='' \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manchester, UK (Vocus) August 25, 2010 Over the last decade, Zerowait has worked with many of NetApp\u2019s largest customers to reduce their costs of storage.
