Quotations from actual IT professionals in the industry on Sphere 3D

As new investors may find it hard to catch up on all the statements validating the company's technologies over the past year, this may help to get a better idea:

Nicole Herskowitz, senior director of Product Marketing for Microsoft Azure: “As the world becomes more mobile and generates significantly more data, enterprises are seeking a mix of cloud and on-premises services that can help them quickly deploy applications and effectively manage all of this data. “Sphere 3D’s solutions extend the capabilities of Azure enabling customers to seamlessly manage apps and data in a hybrid cloud environment.”

Vibhor Kapoor, Director, Microsoft Azure Product Marketing said “By working closely with Sphere 3D, we are able to continue to deliver on that commitment and provide a new level of flexibility for organizations looking for scalable application delivery from the cloud.”

Larry Orecklyn, Microsoft VP and Chief Evangelist: “Sphere 3D is again demonstrating agility, creating exciting hybrid solutions architected to deliver user apps and data on-premises or in the cloud . That is what makes Sphere 3D a great fit with our Azure cloud ecosystem.”

Tim Law, President Novarad: "We initially envisioned NovaGlass as a solution that will leverage our PACS and RIS solutions to give users access to full imaging features from additional endpoints. However, over the last 12 months, it has evolved to significantly more. Today, having worked closely with the team at Sphere 3D and spent time canvassing our customers, we see NovaGlass as a platform that enhances clinical workflow and can increase our ability to positively impact patient outcomes."

Paul Shumway, Senior Vice President of Novarad said: "We have tested many of today's leading virtualization technologies and have looked at a number of potential solutions; none were able to deliver the simple migration to virtualization and incredible performance that we get from the Sphere 3D approach to virtual computing. The first time we saw our products run on Glassware 2.0, we were sold."

August Calhoun, Ph.D., vice president/general manager, Dell Healthcare and Life Sciences said: “The addition of Sphere 3D’s solutions to Dell DRIVE Plus ensures that we are offering the most robust virtualization experience possible for our EHR customers”. “Through this collaboration with industry leaders we are able to deliver a truly innovative reference architecture for healthcare systems.”

James Townsend: President of Microsoft Gold Partner InfoStrat, “Sphere 3D Virtualization Enables On-Demand Testing for Grades K-12.”

Bryan Bleil, vice president of online technology implementation at Pearson. “We welcome Glassware 2.0 into the TestNav Qualified program as a technology provider that shares our goal for enhanced learning capabilities through technology adoption.”

Dustin Hardin, Director of Technology of New Caney ISD, a current Glassware customer said: "We tried traditional virtualization techniques but the specific applications we needed couldn't virtualize or wouldn't scale. With our Glassware 2.0 enabled Dell(TM) server, we were able to virtualize the applications we needed and future proof our investment in Chromebooks for our students."

Jason Katcher, Head of Education and Recruitment Advertising Google: “We see things diff. Leave it there.You sell on past. Others buy for future. Buying more (ANY shares) here. Nice job @Sphere3D on call.”

Jeffrey Schwartz is editor of Redmond magazine and also covers cloud computing for Virtualization Review's Cloud Report. - “A new Microsoft partner, Sphere 3D, is making containers that have fewer dependencies than Docker.”

Laura Didio, highly respected tech reviewer tested GlassWare and said: " it does everything it claims to do. Sphere3D Glassware 2.0 & V3 Appliances are all excellent."

Terri McClure, senior analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group, an IT research firm, observed that Sphere 3D's approach helps customers avoid the tangle of compliance and security issues that can arise when they engage with third parties to build out their hybrid clouds in response to the rise of mobile work style. SnapCLOUD fits the bills, McClure said. With the introduction of the its SnapCLOUD technology, "Sphere 3D appears to be addressing customers' needs to be able to centrally manage and deliver all of their enterprise data, regardless of whether it is on premise, in the cloud, or which device employees prefer to use for work," she asserted.

Deni Connor, a principal analyst with Storage Strategies Now, said Sphere 3D wants to capitalize on the growing trend toward cloud-based file storage. "That gives them a cloud gateway capability so that users can store their data wherever they want. The fact they are allowing file and block access as well as supporting snapshots and replication is important," Connor said.

Roth analyst Krishna Shankar commented, "Following the merger between Overland Storage (OVRL) and Sphere3D, we believe that Sphere3D is making good progress in leveraging its cloud virtualization software and storage/virtualization appliance technology for any application and operating system running on any device including a key partnership with Microsoft's Azure Cloud services."

Simon Bramfitt, CTO at Sphere 3D and Founder of IT consulting firm Entechely Associates, said (even before deciding to join Sphere 3D): "both Glassware and V3 have a genuinely new take on the business of getting Windows applications (Glassware) and Windows desktops (V3) in front of end-users." "Sphere 3D looks poised to create a whole new technology classification with Glassware 2.0, a hyperconverged cloud client app hosting appliance.", "Aside from its being a hardware appliance, it is its inherent simplicity that is Glassware’s first key differentiator.","Glassware’s other big differentiator is its flexibility in distributed and hybrid cloud deployments."," Glassware looks to be a good fit for almost any organization that recognizes it needs an RDSH-style application hosting solution but is unwilling to take on the complexity of current-generation solutions."

Michael Keen, Tech expert and former VP Technology Services at Sphere: " Apps are the biggest challenge that enterprises face today. Getting them to the cloud is one of them... the Glassware platform is very disruptive and can help millions of apps..Glassware is a platform that can enable this migration and save enterprises significant $$ & empower.. IT orgs to make the transition of legacy apps to the cloud much easier. Glassware and hybrid cloud FTW"

Jim Broemmer, CEO at Adams Telephone Co-Operative. “There is a tremendous opportunity in the virtualization market that requires a solution with the right price performance benefits. Sphere 3D’s automated solution allows us to expand our portfolio of offerings to include economically sound virtual desktop and application services to our customers.”

Cyril Pennanech who is responsible for IT services and networking at LISA: “High availability of our storage infrastructure is critical to our research activity and the reason we chose SnapScale. We were also very impressed by the simplicity and scale of SnapScale. Since our initial deployment, we have seamlessly added capacity, and we expect SnapScale to continue growing as our data grows."

Todd Hartung, vice president of Promark: “End users and IT solutions providers are looking for choices and flexibility as they embrace cloud mobility and the relentless data growth in their environments. Our expanded relationship with Overland Storage and parent company Sphere 3D expands our solution portfolio, delivering more choice to our channel partners and empowering them to meet the expanding IT requirements of end users.”

Mario M. Veljovic, Vice President Solutions MENA at Global Distribution FZE: “Partnering with Overland Storage, with its pioneering technologies, is a great step forward in our Mission. Being among the first to introduce their latest VDI Solutions in the region is a great privilege.”

Docker, a Linux NOT EVEN Windows containers technology company, is valued at over $1 BILLION, having had less than $ 10 million in revenue last year...
