Here's a much better view from a expert in storage!

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 styles.

"While many IT organizations want to embrace the cloud, 90 percent of the organizations we surveyed have policies in place that restrict certain types of data from being stored in a third-party cloud," said McClure in prepared remarks. "These organizations are looking for hybrid cloud solutions to fit these needs, rather than adopting multiple point products."

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.
