Since
Zerowait runs on the calendar year as our fiscal year, every January we review
our previous year’s performance and begin making our plans for the new year. We
keep good records of our initiatives and the projects we are working on
throughout the year and in 2016 we developed and brought to market our newSimplStor EVS surveillance and security storage product line that our large
storage customers requested. Last year most of our business was based around
our NetApp parts, support, and surveillance, and while most of our business was
still in the USA and Canada, every year we seem to do a little more global
business.
In 2016 we
heard from many of our customers that they were very happy with their older 7
mode NetApp systems, and though they found the marketing for the NetApp Cdot
upgrades interesting they saw no reason to upgrade. We also picked up a lot of
new customers this year based on the referrals of some of our established
customers, and they too were primarily looking to stay with 7-mode. There is a growing
set of customers that are not going to upgrade, and they need a trusted support
organization to maintain their critical business storage.
Zerowait’s
SimplStor product sales grew again in 2016, and the line continues to grow as
it competes effectively against products from the large storage companies. Our
SimplStor installations continue to grow quantity and size as it earns the
respect of our customers for reliability, uptime, and affordability. If you are
looking for performance and flexibility instead of marketing hype, you should
consider our SimplStor product line.
In 2017, we
expect data generated by the Internet of Things (IoT) to take a bigger slice of
the storage pie. As devices begin to communicate more effectively there is
going to be a need to manage, categorize and interpret the data that is
collected. Whether you are using NetApp storage, or SimplStor as your data
vault, you can depend on Zerowait’s engineers to provide you the right
solutions for your storage issues.
