Thanks for registering for Sphere3D Brings Industry’s First Windows Containerization Platform and Enterprise NAS to Microsoft Azure.
Sphere 3D stands apart as the provider of Glassware 2.0™, which is the industry’s first and the only Windows containerization technology. Though the industry has been abuzz with the premise that Linux containers are the new and efficient way to deliver application virtualization, it is often missed that these Linux containers do not apply to the majority of Windows based applications that are in production in corporate IT infrastructures around the world.
The Glassware 2.0 Windows containerization platform combined with the SnapCLOUD™, Sphere 3D’s virtual Network Attached Storage (NAS) in the cloud, delivers unmatched simplicity and scalability, resulting in a drastic TCO reduction to companies that are looking to modernize their IT infrastructure for the mobile workforce. These Sphere 3D solutions are built to be hybrid-cloud ready, and are now available on Microsoft Azure. With these new offerings Microsoft Azure and Sphere3D are set to transform the economics of application virtualization and delivery to any device anywhere, and effectively address the requirements of the Hybrid cloud market, which is projected to grow to $84.67 billion by 2019 (source: MarketsandMarkets March 2015 research report on “Hybrid Cloud Market”).
Glassware 2.0™ (from Sphere3D ($ANY))- A Windows containerization technology that can virtualize 16, 32, and 64-bit Microsoft Windows applications and deliver them with native functionality to most end user devices: Chromebooks, Windows 10 clients, iPads, thin clients, tablets, etc. Glassware 2.0 uses a container-based approach to application virtualization deployed
