We’ve created an additional free tool focused on renewal support costs to help organizations evaluate the cost differences between remaining on VMware and migrating to Proxmox VE.

The calculator takes into account CPU's and Renewal costs and provides an initial savings estimate.

Curious about hybrid/multi-cloud strategies? In this video we reveal ours: keeping core workloads on-premises with NetApp + SimplStor PE and enabling efficient, selective cloud replication for seamless data movement.

Many organizations treat their NetApp all-flash systems like they have an expiration date. When performance drops, the default move is to buy a whole new one.

We suggest a less expensive solution: expert 3rd party NetApp support plus upgrades to replacement parts, such as drives and controllers.

Addtionally, our SimplStor PE solutions add dense, high-performance NVMe and SAS SSD capacity tailored to actual workflows—at a fraction of the usual OEM markup.

More organizations are quietly shopping for VMware alternatives than people realize.

The usual options get ruled out quickly. Then Proxmox keeps coming up--containers in one clean interface and real enterprise capabilities without the licensing tax.

For us, becoming an authorized Proxmox reseller earlier this year wasn’t a pivot. It was the natural next step. We’ve spent decades supporting the environments our customers run — storage, workloads, and we know their concerns over the things they’re most afraid to lose.

The conversation changed the moment our customers realized the same team that had been looking after their NetApp systems could now guide them to Proxmox. Suddenly it wasn’t “Is there another way?” anymore.

It became: “How do we do this safely?"

If you’re exploring alternatives and want a partner who already understands your environment, we are happy to share our experiences. Contact [email protected] or phone [phone] You will be glad you did!

Imagine giving your D-day invasion plans to the enemy, located just across the English Channel from the cliffs of Dover.

Last month I was in Chicago for a Checkpoint Conference. The conference was heavily focused on the risks to corporate proprietary data that might come from using outsourced AI frontier models like Anthropic’s Claude and OpenAI’s GPT.

As Chamath Palihapitiya recently said about usage of frontier models:
“Every time an employee runs a query through a frontier model API, the prompt goes through external servers — workflows, customer data, pricing logic, internal processes — all of it transmitted through a third party."

Zerowait’s customers understand that.

Organizations that use these models and cloud providers are handing their valuable proprietary information to potential competitors.

Keep your proprietary data where it belongs — on your premises — while still enjoying enterprise-grade reliability and the performance of modern AI workload demands
.
If you value your data and need a powerful SimplConverged infrastructure for your FileMaker projects, Zerowait can help. Call us today: 302-996-9408.

Everybody’s infrastructure has problems. Most people just don’t see them clearly.

We built a simple diagnostic system — call it a multi-meter — because we found that real understanding only comes from looking at the actual numbers. Our engineering team stays deliberately neutral when we examine a customer’s networks and storage. We’ve learned that you must first map the territory as it really is — the current environment, the timeline, the budget, and the true goals — before you can draw any sensible path forward.

Only then can you judge whether a solution will actually get you where you want to go, without creating expensive detours or new problems along the way.

Legacy NetApp and VMware environments almost always have issues. We may be able to help fix yours. But first, we have to see what’s actually there.

If you are looking for a reliable solution contact us at 302.996.9408 or [email protected].

[zerowait @zerowait9408]

Not every infrastructure problem needs an OEM’s solution. Zerowait's engineering team maintains strict neutrality when performing discovery on customer networks and storage.

We only move forward after objectively mapping your current environment, timeline, budget, and goals. Our approach provides a roadmap to get you where you want to go—without unnecessary detours.

Legacy NetApp and VMware environments often carry hidden costs. We may be able to solve yours. Contact Zerowait at 302.996.9408 or [email protected] . You will be glad you did!
