You watch with Perker statement we get China within 30 days, lol...unless I missed something here Asia is part of the 2015 plan and Henry seemed very confident. Didn't hear or see anything about Asia being a May, June, July deal???
One Perker is clueless! Two management will make money selling cigarettes and Three the PPS will go up when these things happen! Buy and add low!!!
Here's a couple visions I have for the future:
BAT coming out with a 0.0, 0.2 nicotine for Lucky Strikes or another one of their brands, hmmm! How much would we make with that deal?
Modified risk eventually getting done, don't care when just need shares when it happens, same with Asia.
I envision Henry making this a billion dollar company and for those who believe buy enough shares to make your life better when it happens!
GLTA
LOL, believe me when I say you will never bum me out! I'm extremely comfortable here and have been for along time! Good luck with whatever you are trying to accomplish!
That's great! Thanks for your time, enjoy the shows!!

Demo Sphere 3D's Container Technology at Road Show Events
Avg Rating: 5
Sphere 3D is going on the road, highlighting its Glassware 2.0 Windows container technology for application delivery and the latest in virtual storage technology at events in Mountain View, California (May 20), and New York City (May 27).
Adoption of cloud-based deployment models continues to accelerate and so does the need for the evolution of the associated architectures and business models to ensure success. This means enabling new and innovative capabilities that support public, private, and hybrid deployments in the cloud.
Event attendees will explore how new technologies are enabling organizations to easily virtualize and migrate legacy and Windows-based applications to the cloud. In addition, attendees will be able to participate in demonstrations of new container based technologies for virtualizing applications, regardless of their hardware or operating system platform dependencies, and get a glimpse at new virtual storage options for the enterprise.
More homework, I swear I'm not making these quotes up!
“We are committed to providing our customers with new and innovative ways to implement their cloud strategy,” said Vibhor Kapoor, Director, Microsoft Azure Product Marketing. “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.”
Let's highlight that last paragraph and the quote from August Calhoun, just so everyone can do some homework today!
“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,” said August Calhoun, Ph.D., vice president/general manager, Dell Healthcare and Life Sciences. “Through this collaboration with industry leaders we are able to deliver a truly innovative reference architecture for healthcare systems.”
A+, been doing my homework for awhile!
Dell DRIVE collaboration includes Dell, Red Hat, Intel and VMware
Mississauga, Ontario – April 3rd , 2014 – Sphere 3D Corporation (TSXV: ANY, OTCQX: SPIHF), a virtualization technology solution provider, today announced that it has teamed with Dell to integrate the Sphere 3D Glassware 2.0™ platform and Desktop Cloud Orchestrator™ “DCO”, from recently acquired V3 Systems, with Dell DRIVE plus.
Dell DRIVE Plus, a collaboration among Dell, Red Hat, Intel and VMWare, helps make deploying and optimizing electronic health record (EHR) solutions easier and more cost effective. Healthcare customers who implement this innovative solution reap many benefits, including lower EHR costs and the flexibility of an open industry-standard platform. The platform is expanding to include both Glassware 2.0™ and Desktop Cloud Orchestrator™ from Sphere 3D.
Glassware 2.0™ is a platform that was designed utilizing a proprietary microvisor and revolutionary topology to achieve application virtualization in the most demanding of circumstances. Utilized in conjunction with hypervisor-based virtualization deployments, it enables true end-to-end virtualization of physical infrastructure.
The DCO software, which is currently integrated with VMware® vSphere®, ESXi™ and Horizon View™, was developed from the ground up to enable desktop administrators to quickly and efficiently meet the needs for day-to-day management of virtual desktops. DCO is delivered from a secure, simple, centralized web console and provides automatic replication of persistent and non-persistent virtual desktops. This enables seamless pool movement between appliances when needed for failover or
scheduled maintenance.
Quotes
“Desktop Cloud Orchestrator and Glassware 2.0 software drop-in appliance solutions can be deployed in conjunction with other DRIVE partner technologies,” said Stoney Hall, VP Global Sales, Sphere 3D. “Together these technologies enhance end-to-end compute capabilities of virtualized end user environments while simplifying their management.”
“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,” said August Calhoun, Ph.D., vice president/general manager, Dell Healthcare and Life Sciences. “Through this collaboration with industry leaders we are able to deliver a truly innovative reference architecture for healthcare systems.”
Ken, I'm hoping you do from a long term shareholder! Until then next order of business will be earnings and the MTC shows!

ZDNet Senior Technology Editor. Yes, I work for Microsoft too, my opinions are strictly my own.
Exactly, you bought and zigzags sold, the group you work for has been doing this for months to keep the volume up. Your time here is almost over!
In your last article when the stock was in the $5's you claimed you had no position in ANY? What gives? Was that a false claim?
The best part is your team is still looking for answers, lol. Doesn't sound like anyone is very comfortable being short! GL with your search as we get closer to revealing our tech at MTC's!!
Henry is the reason I came back to XXII and very happy to buy at these levels! IMO we will be much higher by EOY! GL
Up 46% since Henry took over and business is starting to look good and should continue to grow. If Henry can get these Asian deals done all shareholders will be very happy imo!

"You see news all over the place about Microsoft microservices and Google. The big companies are also pushing the trend, so we think it's the right time before the really big explosion when it will be too late to introduce a technology like this," Marietti said.
In great company!! eom
Hey Hugo, have you finally decided to put your money where your mouth is or still unsure of your DD?

Truly remarkable donk, great FIND!!
Key fact: The level of companies that Microsoft has held joint road shows with in the past is VERY exclusive:
HP, Citrix, IBM, Nortel...
Recognise ANY of these names? And now: Sphere 3D!
P.S. Want to check for yourself? Google: microsoft center joint road show... and see for yourself...
LOL, good stuff!
Could be!
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. In conjunction with our partners, we are offering a unique distributed hyper-converged infrastructure and associated management software that enable flexible virtual desktop deployments with unparalleled performance.
The only question is was this $160 million run rate determine before our partnership with Microsoft Education and Azure or after? Hmmm!!
How big is this opportunity for our $150 million market cap company?
During these events, Sphere 3D will present its cloud-enabling technologies, including Glassware 2.0 Windows container technology for application delivery, and virtualized storage technologies for enterprise hybrid cloud infrastructure, to a combined audience of Microsoft and Sphere 3D channel partners.
Here's the best part!
leverage our unique technology in combination with Microsoft Azure to simplify and accelerate customers' transition to cloud-integrated solutions."
Windows Azure was also praised:
“Microsoft has a vision of infrastructure and platform services that are not only leading stand-alone offerings, but also seamlessly extend and interoperate with on-premises Microsoft infrastructure (rooted in Hyper-V, Windows Server, Active Directory and System Center) and applications, as well as Microsoft's SaaS offerings. Its vision is global, and it is aggressively expanding into multiple international markets.”
This hybrid approach to service delivery is a key part of Microsoft’s vision. Microsoft’s large on-premises installed base perceive Windows Azure as an easy on ramp to public Cloud. UI – a key part of Microsoft’s historic success also shows up in Azure:
“Microsoft has built an attractive and easy-to-use UI that will appeal to Windows administrators and developers. The IaaS and PaaS components within Windows Azure feel and operate like part of a unified whole, and Microsoft is making an effort to integrate them with Visual Studio and System Center.”
Bingo umiak, does that look like driving 100 miles per hour into a wall? This looks like PB took a right turn into one of the largest distributors around! Great post and find! They tend to hide from the what's really going on now and in the future!! Oh well, SE got it right, they are fighting the wrong battle!
Hugo knows PB is the real deal, he knows PB has now open many and many of doors for V3 and his products he just can't see that the sum of four may be in the right place at the right time!!
The future looks bright, the signs are everywhere!! Shorts can dwell on the past but post like yours Docandstocks says it all! Thx
You know where to find him and ask him, correct? Did you ever think that by joining forces with over 30000 plus resellers through Overland and now Microsoft would help his business? Possibly adding Glassware Containers to the equation might work like a charm? Great vision and smart move imo!! Time will prove this move to be a clear vision by PB and I'm sure you will witness it!
Hugo, I have no problem with your position but your thought process is all about the past, you clearly don't have a future vision. Let's forget the past and give them a chance, they just started 4 months ago and they have a new friend Microsoft!
It's one thing creating a product but getting it in front of the masses sometimes is all it takes! Looks like PB and Glassware are getting in front of the masses, if no one bites this year you are correct BUT if they do bite UBOL wins, bottom line place your bets Monday!
What gets lost in the BIG picture and what the shorts never bring up and why I believe this company is in great hands! The vision of Peter Bookman and Michael Keen!! Never heard a bad word about these two tech gurus, if you spend time getting to know them and follow them you will see Sphere is in great hands. I also believe they are running the show and taking us forward!

Z I'm very impressed with your connecting dots and DD for not being a techie! Great job learning and understanding the true potential we have in front of us! The true picture is becoming crystal clear! Thanks for sharing all of it!!
Just imagine 2 years ago some very wealthy doubters shorted Sphere under a dollar thinking this reverse merger company could never create ANY product that could make money. It's pretty common for these kind of companies to come out and dilute stock time and time again. Ut oh, Sphere doesn't dilute and another visionary (SS) finds this hidden gem and his followers buy in to the vision. Right out of the gate the shorts are in trouble!!
As of today we have 4 companies combined with 35 million outstanding shares ALL amazingly done with minimal dilution, almost unheard of imo!
Now this group is down over 200% on their short position which is well over a million shares, possible 3-4 million. How much money is that? Do they cover or try to fight and create doubt for as long as they can??
I can assure you that they never dreamed that our little reverse merger company from Canada would now have 4 companies combined, lead by visionaries PB and MK :))) Heading into roadshows with MICROSOFT!!
Bottom line the shorts are cooked it's just a matter of time!
Let it go and focus on the business, what PT has accomplished in two years is completely unreal, the companies combine heading into a market comparable to the internet back in the late 90's! New products, great new hires, and now great partnerships!!!
Here are some of the shorts arguments as of today, which of course has changed as Sphere continues to shoot their theories down! They have no money, they have no products, PT last job he did a bad job, Microsoft is a mirage this isn't news......COME ON LOL, This is insane!!!
The early shorts are cooked, yes they will be new one just like every other stock on the market. Business results are like a can of RAID for bugs, they will kill off the shorts and when that day comes enjoy your profits!!
Eliminate Glassware just for a second and take Overland Storage, V3 and Tandberg, give those products to visionaries for the New Cloud and you could easily turn this company into and viable business that could easily hold the market cap of where we are today $150 million.
Throw in Glassware at $150 million market cap there is zero risk here IMO!!! This company is not worth less then this with $160 million run rate!
PS colmar welcome to the board, great first post and backs my therory on the hardware side with the market cap!
"the affiliation with Ingram's Promark is important " Revenues from hardware could easily give this company a higher market cap then $150 million!
GLTA
Post of the day and it came very early in the morning! Thanks common , it was nice waking up to some logic! Below is a chart with a few stocks compared gains with ANY over 2 years time to date!!
The short whining is getting old on this board. Bottom line this will be taken care of as the fundamentals for Sphere become clearer, nothing we can do about it today, period! The larger problem right now is the flippers and traders, this is what is holding the stock down. Many longs give the impression they need a stock psychiatrist in their daily post with worry and short fear!! This is a low float company who is just starting to get the story to the street after combining 4 companies into one, first quarter not even released YET!!
My guess we have atleast 50% of longs that are trading around their core and some others setting tight stop loses, well just gives the impression that the shorts are in control. Example, a short from yahoo yesterday claimed there was zero shares to short so our dip had zero to do with that! Flippers, traders and stop loses on a Friday took the steam out of the stock!
This stock is up over 200% in 2 years with the shorts along for the ride! Sphere continues to execute with top notch precision imo and this will be well known as we go through year and when it does WE will love the SHORTS, you'll see!!
Hang tough, when things get tough read PB's article, this comes from a true visionary with a spotless background who imo with Michael Keen is making the calls on the future for Sphere and that makes me sleep good at night!

Maybe over the weekend some fund managers and analysts with do their job and look deeper into what is happening with Sphere and Microsoft!!
Have a great weekend all.
Could they say the same about Overland one day, hmmm? With our visionaries PB and MK I think we have a good shot!!
Some of the good companies were smaller than their comparisons when they began the transition from good to great. Simply being smaller and having more room to grow might have contributed to their outperformance. Collins ignores this, e.g. when he compares the performance of Circuit City-- a tiny near-bankrupt retailer when it began its transition from good to great-- with General Electric, one of America's largest companies:
If you had to choose between $1 invested in Circuit City or $1 invested in General Electric on the day that the legendary Jack Welch took over GE in 1981 and held to January 1,2000, you would have been better off with Circuit City-by six times.

More exciting news on our new collaboration - @Sphere3D, @Microsoft Showcase #Virtualization, #Cloud Solutions http://www.marketwired.com/press-release/-2012958.htm … @inc
Collaboration is working with others to do a task and to achieve shared goals. It is a recursive process where two or more people or organizations work together to realize shared goals, this is more than the intersection of common goals seen in co-operative ventures, but a deep, collective determination to reach an identical objective.
Gotcha good plan!! Making a nice move back here!!
GREEN, let's keep it there!
Bummer, I believe all traders, stops and no shares available to shorts we should settle down and smart money will add here jmo!
This is how yesterday started, then bam the PR came out. Maybe more news coming today? Stay alert!!
