For NetApp Customers
Customers struggle with complex and costly DR setups, especially when replicating large datasets to secondary facilities. NetApp’s SnapMirror, while effective, can be bandwidth-intensive and challenging for remote sites.

• Solution: Zerowait offers a turnkey DR consultancy and implementation service, optimizing NetApp’s SnapMirror with deduplication, compression, tailored snapshot schedules, and paired with Zerowait’s 24/7 monitoring and support.

For Customers with ZFS- and Windows-based Systems
Customers appreciate NetApp’s reliability but want less-expensive, open-source alternatives with similar features (snapshots, mirroring, replication, encryption). ZFS- and Windows-based systems are gaining traction for their flexibility and cost-effectiveness.

• Solution
  SimplStor-Z (ZFS) and SimplStor-W (Windows) are storage solutions that can replicate NetApp’s enterprise features at a lower cost, offering an affordable solution. We offer migration services to transition customers from NetApp to SimplStor, including data integrity checks and performance tuning. Further, we can bundle these products with long-term support contracts.

Managed Services Solutions
Customers with critical uptime requirements need immediate access to parts to minimize downtime, but managing storage and spares can be complex and costly if done by in-house personnel.

• Solution
  Zerowait offers remote managed services, in which we proactively monitor your system and can provide onsite spares kits. We open tickets, replenish parts, and provide real-time engineer support via our dedicated Zerowait High Availability (ZHA) Exception Reporter and on-call engineers.

Tiered Storage Optimization Service
Some customers want to use legacy NetApp systems for secondary or tertiary storage to avoid primary storage pricing, but lack the expertise to optimize tiered architectures.

• Solution
  A consulting service to design and implement tiered storage models, integrating legacy NetApp systems with SimplStor for archival purposes. Include performance analytics and capacity planning tools to ensure cost-efficiency. This is offered as a one-time project or an ongoing managed service.
