Peter , I agree with you . I'm all for " long term " , but waiting 5 years on cloud technology is absurd . Who knows what will be around in 5 years . A long time for me would be the end of 2016 .
He will remain based in Silicon Valley, in part so that he can bring an “outsider’s perspective,” he said in an interview. That’s in line with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella’s focus on working across platforms, and partnering with rivals in some cases.

Good to hear . Forget the stock , concentrate on the company , expand your time line . All will work out just fine.

?@SimonBramfitt @michael_keen I expect to see GPU support next
Interesting video . Look forward to hearing more about this .
<....Total number of apps worldwide are hard to come by. There is no statistics on web apps – exist too many ways to develop and get them, so it's almost incredible to count these apps. But we can try to count mobile apps, which are represented on App Store (for apps that work on Apple devices) and Google Play (for apps that work on Android devices). They are believed to be the two largest stores with over 800,000 apps apiece....>
<...A good question is was the guidance of $160 million run rate including this deal with MS and if not, shouldn't there be new guidance?...>
Under promise and over deliver.
<...shall we call them General Custer? it is likely the outcome will be similar...>
It's nice that in spite of our battles they have let us know we're going to win the war !
<....Would suggest any new investor here go straight to post 18966 on this board and read the Seeking Alpha article(twice!). It's clear, concise, and puts the story in a larger overall perspective....>
I agree , and a stroll though JBs posts is also a great idea to get a overall view of the fundamentals .
And who has come out and stated none of this is true ?
I agree we shouldn't have too high expectations for Monday or short term stock action . Having said that I believe we have turned a corner here with this stock . 800,000 shares isn't Joe retail from Pittsburgh . The stealth mode is coming to a end and the institutions are coming in . Nothing happens over night but I feel we have taken a large step in the right direction .
Even with this huge move I believe most are under estimating the potential of this protocol/platform .
Wouldn't that be like starting at the end of the journey rather than the beginning ?
"...The importance of this Microsoft OEM Embedded agreement FURTHER legitimized Glassware (as if it needed anymore...only to Shorty I guess) and Sphere 3D a PLAYER to be reckoned with!.."
Couldn't agree with you more . But the validation has now changed from validating a technology to validating a protocol/platform . A very big difference in the years to come in my opinion .
Mike , Do you have a opinion about the Windows 10 tweets ?
SAN JOSE, Calif., March 2, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sphere 3D Corporation (ANY), a virtualization and data management solutions provider, today announced that Eric Kelly, Chairman and CEO, will present at the ROTH Capital Partners 27th Annual Growth Stock Conference on Monday, March 9, 2015 at 8:30 a.m. Pacific time.

yes , EK
Green !
wvumountaineer78 . MIKE MIKE MIKE ! Glad to hear you . Hope your doing well and would love to see you post more often .
this SA article blows me away . Here we are this tiny little company standing toe to toe with Google , Microsoft and VMware
just as if we're a whale like they are . I still say , why sell to a whale when you can become a whale your self .
"....Did anyone get an email from Sphere today?..."
Yes , I forwarded the email to you .
"...Its a beautiful day...."
A bit of early spring !
"....•In the Managed Service Provider (MSP) segment we are working with Ericsson and are at various stages of proof of concept (POC) and pilot programs with some of North America’s leading telecommunication companies...."
Found this statement interesting when re-reading the open letter to shareholders .
Thanks for the article . Still not sure why Linux can be containerized easily but windows is so difficult ?
It's the logic of it that makes the rumor sound feasible . Problem is they are the tabloids of the stock world . I would expect a run at spiffy at some point however . I just think perhaps spiffy has decided to become the whale rather than being bought by one.
If it was anyone other than Sierra I'd be excited . Still , anything that causes buying is good with me.
I've read March 2nd also but can not confirm it .
I notice they list Overland Storage numerous times .
My ANY shares are in Fidelity but in a IRA .
85% of Enterprises Say Cloud Has Lived Up to the Hype
More compute and storage in the cloud than on-premises by 2024 reveals Tata Communications’ global survey
February 26, 2015 02:00 AM Eastern Standard Time
LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research conducted by Tata Communications, a leading provider of A New World of Communications™, has found that organisations with 500+ employees are seeing tangible benefits from cloud computing. 85% say cloud had lived up to industry hype, with 23% declaring that cloud had exceeded their expectations.
According to the global survey, this groundswell of positive opinion has been contributed to by enterprises experiencing tangible benefits when using cloud services – with 83% of enterprises feeling they have experienced benefits they did not expect to see. The most popular of these benefits cited by respondents were: increased productivity (69%), better access to data (65%), and reductions in costs (63%).
The findings also showed that by 2024 off-premises storage will have overtaken on-premises alternatives, with enterprises forecast on average to have 58% of their compute and data storage held in the cloud in ten years’ time compared with 28% currently. When asked how much of their IT provision would be stored in private cloud specifically by 2024, respondents predicted an average of 52% - highlighting the dominance of private cloud storage. However, 94% of respondents say they would be more likely to adopt a hybrid cloud computing model if connections with the public cloud were more predictable.
Furthermore, the research suggests that enterprises are realizing competitive advantages from cloud deployments. Nearly two thirds (65%) of respondents said using the cloud had led to increased speed of access to technology. In terms of streamlining business processes, over two thirds (67%) have experienced reduced delivery times to clients and partners. 54% have seen the delivery time of new services to new markets and / or geographies reduced.
Julie Woods-Moss, CMO and CEO of NextGen Business at Tata Communications, says “This independent research shows that the cloud has exited the hype cycle and entered the real adoption phase for businesses globally. It is now a strategic investment and a competitive differentiator. As a result, the network that enables cloud adoption is critical, and new services, such as our IZO™ network platform and partner ecosystem, are fundamental to creating a simple way for companies to adopt the cloud model most suited to business requirements – be that private, public or hybrid.”
great news !!!!!!
I like your thinking .

While Sphere 3D has to compete with Citrix, VMware, Dell, and a few others, it's approach is unique and the performance benefits that it offers cannot be matched by its far larger competitors....."
Nice , and obviously his opinion has just gotten better since then .
