So since you consider Michael Keen to be a straight shooter, and he said this:

" 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."

Then you must agree with him as to how important GlassWare is.

I think it was obvious that Simons tweet thanking VM for using #ReadyForANY was tongue in cheek, but I am curious about the rest of the tweet that said: " ahead of our new platform launch".

Does anyone know if this was specific to Azure or something else?

Thought I would share an email conversation I had with Dustin Hardin. The bashers have been trying to imply that New Caney was not happy with their GlassWare purchase. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Here's Dustins response to me:

I apologize for taking to long to reply to you, we have had a crazy few weeks at the office.  Deploying 7,000 Chromebooks to teenagers and getting another 4,000 ready for little children will age you quickly.
I will be working in the next few months to find applications Chromebooks cannot run that our teachers and students want.  Our early college program has to have the Office suite for some college classes so Glassware will be a great fit for that.  We have a robotics class that has a Windows applications and obviously programming classes need a Java IDE to compile applications.  All of those work on Glassware, I just don't have the staff to dedicate to it right now.
On the other statement, about running it in a "Test environment": in April we had 20+ students using Glassware for TestNav and had plans to use it for quite a few hundred the following week.  Due to fears from Pearson  having issues with their servers going down we decided against it.  However, in July we had nearly 100 retesters on Glassware simultaneously and it worked.
End of the day, the product works.  But with over 15,000 end user devices in our district and a team of only 20 people, just keeping the helpdesk tickets down is our primary focus right now.  Again, once the school year starts up, I have more plans for Glassware.

"being a small cap in need of $$ like ANY is not a great situation in this turbulent market'

Well, let's take a look at the accuracy of that statement.

Over the last 3 days the NASDAQ went from 5019 to 4526 losing 493pts or 9.8%.

Over the last 3 days ANY went from 3.12 to 3.03 losing .09 or 3%

Over the last 3 days many, many small caps have gone down 15% or more.

Seems to me that so far the results are just the opposite of what you say.

Sorry, you are not allowed to go A.W.O.L.

You will have to find time to provide at least a tiny bit of wisdom on this message board too.

That is an order.

General Commoncentsinvestor

Hugo,

You must have missed the question I asked because I haven't seen your answer.

Is GlassWare 2.0 a part of NovaGlass? YES or NO?

Thanks for your prompt response.

"That was in what, May 2014?"

FALSE. That was from the recent Master Agreement announcement.

"Who cares anyway?"

You seemed to care until it was shown that you were presenting misinformation.

"None of this is novel or unique, by they way. "

You better tell that to Novarad. They seem to think so:

“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.” said Paul Shumway, Senior Vice President of Novarad, “The first time we saw our products run on Glassware 2.0, we were sold “

So you still haven't answered my simple question: Is GlassWare 2.0 part of NovaGlass? YES or NO?

Just one more quote to make it easier for you to give the right answer:

"The solutions to be rolled out will be configured to address the specific needs of each facility, and will include a combination of virtualization technologies including the award-winning V3 hyper-converged platform, Glassware 2.0, and SnapScale® and SnapServer® lines of storage products."

OK, then is GlassWare part of the SnapServer?

Hint. Remember this quote:

"In response to high customer interest at SIIM, Novarad placed orders for Glassware 2.0(TM), delivered on Overland SnapServer DX2 appliances"

OK, one last time. Is GlassWare 2.0 part of NovaGlass? YES or NO?

To lie or not to lie, that is the question.

Tried to post this message on the Yahoo message board in response to a poster over there who attempts to discredit Simon Bramfitt. For some reason I get a "failed to post" when I try to post it there so I thought I would post it here instead.

It is almost comical to see zigzags attempts at trying to diminish the importance of Simon Bramfitt becoming Sphere 3Ds' Chief Technologist.

Simon Bramfitt is an acknowledged EXPERT in the field of virtualization. He has written dozens of articles for a variety of technical magazines and has been quoted in Forbes. He is the founder and principal analyst at Entelechy Associates where he covers application delivery, desktop management and virtualization technologies. Bramfitt works extensively with end-user organizations, advising them on architecture and best practices for both private cloud and desktop transformation initiatives, and with technology startups. He has worked with application delivery and endpoint management technologies for over 25 years and has long been recognized as a thought leader in the virtualization space.

In his attempt to discredit Mr. Bramfitt, zigzag accuses him of falsely claiming that the Chesterfield County school district was not involved with using GlassWare 2.0 when they purchased 32,000 Chromebooks for their students. zigzags claim is the only thing false here.

This is a quote from Brian D. Jones Assistant Director, Technology, Chesterfield County Public Schools:
"I'm writing in response to your question concerning Sphere 3D's GlassWare product and our Chromebooks.  We have acquired a test environment server with the GlassWare product."

So, CCPS indeed was involved with Sphere and GlassWare at the time of Simons article. The only thing that changed was that CCPS decided to delay for a year the implementation of a virtualization product for their Chromebooks. More quotes from Mr. Jones: "We have been successful (using GlassWare) with several applications.  We are now in the process of assessing our virtualization needs.
For the next school year we will be investigating the opportunities provided by a number of companies to deliver non-Chrome programs to student Chromebooks."
Not unusual at all for Governmental agencies to delay decisions.

Since zigzag attempts to pass himself off as a tech expert, I would love to see him provide links to some of the "expert" articles he has written.

OK, Hugo. Simple question.

Is GlassWare 2.0 part of NovaGlass? YES or NO?

"In response to high customer interest at SIIM, Novarad placed orders for Glassware 2.0(TM), delivered on Overland SnapServer DX2 appliances, and for V3 Appliances with Desktop Cloud Orchestrator(TM) management software. A portion of the initial order from Novarad will fulfill a deployment to one of the leading Hospital Systems in the United States."

and from your link:

NovaGlass Desktop Orchestrator (DCO v2.3.5): This is the primary component of the NovaGlass appliance. It is a virtual machine that gets deployed. It is used to create and manage desktop pools. It is also used to manage
multiple V3 appliances and create dedicated pool or appliance failover policies.

Nice find.

Also great to see what is the most prominently featured product on the MIS Healthcare home page:

The strange thing is that all your hard work resulted in the ANY share price going down .03 while the rest of the market was tanking big time.

Maybe you should reconsider your strategy.

"I don't post much, but when I do, people pay attention so stay hungry my friends. "

I am going to pay attention after checking out your only previous Sphere post. On May 30th you said:

"Price today is the low, get all you can. "

Price at the time was $3.73. It did close the next trading day at $3.66, but after that it did nothing but go up until it reached a high of $5.52 on July 22nd.

That was a GREAT CALL.

These guys must be crazy.

Michael Keen

Experienced & visionary business exec with an innovative, outside-in approach to today's enterprise IT organizations

Those are two very intelligent, knowledgeable, successful, respected people in the IT world.

If the Sphere bashers are right and GlassWare technology is nothing special and the company is going to just continue losing & borrowing money until they go out of business. Then why would these bright people go to work for Sphere?

So does James Staten: Chief Strategist, Cloud + Enterprise

"And don’t even try the security or reliability card. Really? You honestly think your static VM environment hiding behind outdated firewall-based security hosted out of a 1990s era data center on servers bought in 2013 is going to trump a public cloud with clusters of next generation data centers in 19 geographic regions being protected by a team of top security professionals? And by pitting the public cloud as the enemy, you forgo any opportunity to partner with your developers around helping manage and monitor the new and often very important applications they are deploying to public cloud environments, which is where IT pros should really be concentrating your energies."

Michael Keen seems to believe otherwise:

"Now, I can almost guarantee that within every enterprise application portfolio there are some applications that just need to be retired, but for the majority of the applications in the enterprise today, you have some choices to make. Do you rewrite the applications? Of course you could, but this would more than likely take more time than the business or IT is willing to endure. Therefore the next decision is to replatform the applications. That new solution is Sphere3D’s Glassware technology. You now have the ability and flexibility to have that application available on any OS and on any Glassware appliance in your local data center or in a cloud provider of your choice. Now just imagine that those Glassware appliances are all aware of each other and what applications are on which appliance, along with which one will be best suited for where that user is and who they are. Apply this technology to your hybrid cloud strategy and you can put an end to end of life."

By the way Nutz, storage business is not all bad. Another company I follow (and unfortunately) only have a small state in is Dot Hill Systems (HILL).

Market Cap at end of day was $323M. Seagate just bought them for $645M.

Maybe there is some gold in them thar storage hills.

"But let's use our noodles. "

"5) Novarad's LinkedIn profile shows they have 51-200 employees which means their total revenue is probably I the $5M to $20M range."

Actually, if you go to this link:

http://www.manta.com/c/mm2l1yx/novarad

You will find this:

"Annual Revenue Estimate $20 to 50 million"

Your noodle must be a bit faulty.

"so why do they keep on going down storage road?"

Because they are just not as darn smart as you are. And since they don't spend their entire days posting negative stuff on a stock message board, they probably have plenty of time to try to develop their virtualization/containerization business as well as their storage business. Pretty amazing huh?

So I guess Hugo is implying that this is not true:

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.

I suppose he also believes these people are paid SnapCloud/SnapScale shills too:

David DelonyContributing Writer Transforming Network Infrastructure: "Offering SnapCloud on Microsoft Azure will net the company even more name recognition. The announcement will make Azure a valid choice for more people, and with an existing installed base of 300,000 for SnapServer, Microsoft is optimistic about the deal."

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.”

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."

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.


Or maybe Sphere water boarded these people until they said what Sphere wanted them to say.

"very good Chippo 58, the only way to avoid all this speculation"

NO, the only way to avoid all this speculation is to stop speculating about something that you are never going to know the exact facts of. I think it is fairly obvious that at the same time that Kelly bought some shares that Morelli sold some shares. It was a private transaction between the two of them. Private transactions mean exactly that. Waste of time to continue speculating.

"Perhaps that's why you never did answer my question.Did you not claim to have sold the bulk of your Sphere stock at four bucks after the disappointing CC? "

Actually, I sold all my ANY shares back in March at $4.02. I posted that and explained why. It was after the conference call back then that I thought was really bad. Not so much from a business standpoint, but just the way it was conducted and the lack of enthusiasm.

I ended up buying those shares back, plus more, at an average cost of $3.39 so it turned out to be a good decision.

That is the only time I have sold out of my core position. But I do buy & sell trading shares from time to time as we go up or down. Last sale was made at $4.37 and bought those back today at $3.60.

I have no idea why you want this info but now that you have it I hope you are happy. Much better to be happy than angry all the time.

It really takes a great deal for me to put someone on ignore. They have to be both nasty and provide absolutely nothing in the way of intelligent discourse. The poster you speak of has been on my ignore list for many months.

"Spinning top yesterday."

Actually it was a Whirling YO-YO. Very positive sign. Usually results in gains of about 100%.

Looks like AQXP had its bashers too.

This was from a couple of weeks ago:

Huge debts, no revenue , no products, huge class action lawsuit against the company soon. This POS going nowhere but to $0.0000000000000 Sooooon.
Sentiment: Strong Sell

Many more like it.

Not unusual for an individual stock to go up or down many multiples in relation to the gain or loss of the market exchanges. Also depends on what had happened to the individual stock in the period before a drop. Going back to a month ago, ANY had made a run up of about 80% from its recent low. So this has to be taken into consideration when speaking of a 28% drop.

I know you know all this and are just trying to make things look terrible, but facts are facts. Maybe you should be investing in Index Funds.

I guess we can also add this one to your list of failed predictions:

"After hours trade yesterday is a signal. This shorting leg has finished. A couple green days ahead."

It's no consolation, but we are not alone:

"The Dow posted its seventh straight decline, giving the index its worst losing streak in four years; for the week, the Dow fell 1.5%, the S&P 500 lost 1.3% while the Nasdaq surrendered 1.7%."

#theevolutionofthebearthesis #2

Sphere makes agreement with Corel. Sphere bashers at the time say:

"The deal with Corel amounts to a Value Added Reseller (VAR) arrangement - essentially allowing Sphere to market Corel products to end-users. There are likely tens of thousands of VARs operating in the enterprise software space in Canada - some of whom are surely already reselling Corel products. As for Corel itself, it remains a bit player in the productivity software space - if Sphere 3D's product was so compelling why is only a 3rd tier productivity vendor working with them?"

So basically the argument was that the Corel deal was of little or no consequence.

BUT,

eventually the deal did not proceed. Nowhere have I ever seen anything written as to whether it was Sphere or Corel who decided to kill the deal. So that is an unknown. But ever since, the bear thesis has become: Sphere and GlassWare are no good because that BIG, IMPORTANT Corel deal didn't work out.

#theartofobfuscation

"If you want an out of the box product that people can buy, you have to explain it in detail."

Who says that this is the market that Sphere is going for? Certainly not Sphere. Here is some of what they say about GlassWare:

"With our unique approach of containerizing applications and utilization of microvisors, we give software direct access to hardware. As a result of this unique approach, we anticipate there will be a number of permutations of Glassware 2.0 to address the specific needs for applications that rely on the underlying hardware for optimum performance"

As GlassWare is adopted by users in specific market sectors, ie Healthcare, Education, I imagine future users in those markets will have a better idea of how a GlassWare product is working for prior customers and if it can work for them without big customization.

I guess before Coke was sold to any customers you expected everyone to just naturally know how it tasted. I would guess that products that are new and different generally intiially rely on word of mouth from users. Fortunately in this day and age, that can happen quite rapidly. Looks like the NovaRad deal is a good example of how this might work. If the 400 NovaRad client Medical Centers become as enthusiastic about Spheres products as NovaRad seems to be, I'd say Sphere will be off and running.

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."

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."

Speaking of Coke, that product should be a reminder as to the silliness of the latest short argument. That argument seems to be that GlassWare can't be a good product or even a real product because the company won't tell anyone exactly how it works.

Well, Coke was invented in 1886 and to this day the company has still not revealed exactly what is in it. Somehow, despite that, they have sold billions & billions of dollars worth of Coke. In fact: "Coca-Cola is the most popular and biggest-selling soft drink in history, as well as one of the most recognizable brands in the world."

In the last analysis, the consumer/customer really doesn't care exactly what is in a product, but rather how it performs for them.

Sphere 3D Offers G-Series Application Virtualization Appliance for Education Market

Last update: 04/08/2015 11:28:54 am


Sphere 3D Offers G-Series Application Virtualization Appliance for Education Market

SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwired - Aug 4, 2015) - Sphere 3D Corp. (NASDAQ: ANY), a virtualization and data management solutions provider, today announces the general availability of the G-Series Appliance for Education. Built using the Glassware 2.0(R) software platform, the G-Series Appliance for Education is specifically tailored to meet the fast evolving needs of K-12 education. Per Center for Digital Education, a market research firm, IT spending for K-12 sector is expected to be over $11B this year, with average spend per student expected to increase by 18% through 2022-2023.

The G-Series appliance for education is the first hyperconverged appliance for containerizing Windows(R) applications to be made available in the family of appliances from Sphere 3D. Until now, hyperconverged offerings have been limited to generalized server and virtual desktop workloads. The G-Series appliance for education is specifically designed based on the success and feedback from early access customers in the K-12 marketplace where simple and cost effective solutions for workload delivery are a must in order to overcome challenges in delivering BYOD or one to one device deployments.

"Cross-platform Windows application delivery in a market that is rapidly adopting non Windows endpoints is very critical to support K-12 IT initiatives of personalized learning, digital education and online testing," commented Nilesh Patel, vice president, Product Management and Marketing at Sphere 3D, adding, "Whether deploying Google Chromebooks as a one to one program, or embracing multiple devices running Android or iOS in a BYOD environment, schools can now deliver simple and secure access to Windows workloads and make digital learning easier and available to all."

With the G-Series line of appliances, containerizing Windows applications for delivery in a public, private, or hybrid cloud offering is as simple as dropping in a single appliance, or multiple appliances as necessary, to meet the needs of an organization. Offered as a turnkey solution, each G-series hyperconverged appliance is designed to support 100 concurrent users for application use, or 300 concurrent users for high stakes testing, and comes inclusive of all required server software licensing. Designed from the outset to simplify application delivery, and maximize end-to-end performance, the G-series appliances place cloud-scale application hosting and delivery in the hands of every organization, regardless of size or technical capabilities.

Built on Sphere 3D's proprietary Glassware 2.0 Windows container technology, the G-Series appliances use lightweight container technology to free end user computing applications from their hardware dependencies; Applications are then delivered with all their native functions intact for access from any number of end user devices. Commonly-used Windows applications, as well as legacy applications, can be virtualized without the need to change IT infrastructure, rewrite software code, or acquire specialized virtualization skills and resources.

The G-Series appliance for education is available through select Sphere 3D authorized resellers and partners.

"I did answer your question if you bothered to read it. "

If that was an answer, it was so vague and given in such a nuanced and round-a-bout way as to be unintelligible. A simple YES that poster knowingly posted false information and hence was despicable, would have been the correct answer and you know that.

"Don't drag me into your battles with others."

Ah, a diversionary statement if I ever heard one. This had nothing to do with my battle with others. It had everything to do with your honesty after you saying that posting false information is despicable.

Regarding Q2 numbers, I do not believe there is sufficient information available to make an educated guess.

"Seems a bit more relevant of a topic."

Wild guesses based upon insufficent information I believe to be less relevant than the posting of outright lies on message boards. But that's just me.

Hugo,

Your failure to answer this simple question IMHO says a great deal about your personal integrity or lack of it. And anyone hereafter reading your messages should take this obvious bias into account.

Your attempt to even try to justify this absolutely (and provably) false statement is very sad.

And just for your information, that poster for weeks has been claiming that the company does not differentiate between having patents and having patents that are pending. Each time he does I bring up the companies statements that indisputably say that the patents are pending. Despite that he continues to repeat the falsehood.

Now that you have this new information, is that persons statement DESPICABLE?
