Hugo lesson #3! Education, Desktop Cloud Orchestrator = software $$ - high margins, then add Glassware and SnapCloud for storage like they have in our school district and our 400 healthcare facilities announcements! ARE you getting the future yet????
SPHERE3D is becoming a software company :))))
The Solution
Sphere 3D’s role: how do we fit into the Education environment?
Our Desktop Cloud Computing Appliances deliver 25 – 400 virtual Windows® desktops per unit, with guaranteed performance that is 2x – 8x faster than physical desktops. The drop-in server appliances elegantly integrate into an existing VMware infrastructure (whether at the customer site or the datacenter), providing the computing and local storage needed for hosting virtual desktops.
We also offer Sphere 3D’s Desktop Cloud Orchestrator software to simplify the creation, management and movement of dedicated virtual desktops, including policies for failover. This desktop management software aggregates key features that a desktop administrator would need from VMware’s vCenter and View into a centralized console.
What does this mean for you?
For school administrators, Sphere 3D’s solution reduces demand on constrained school budgets with high-density appliances that economically deliver 50-200 high-performance virtual desktops from a single unit. Educational outreach and student accessibility are increased through around-the-clock virtual desktop delivery to a wide variety of endpoint devices, including desktops, smartphones, laptops and tablets. In addition, Sphere 3D’s optimized technologies and management tools help reduce overhead on desktop management, saving time and money.
For students and faculty, Sphere 3D’s solution improves personal productivity with easy access to educational resources through high-performance virtual desktops available any time, from anywhere, from virtually any device.
For IT desktop administrators, Sphere 3D’s solution offers simple deployment and centralized management with increased performance. This means Windows updates and software patches can be pushed out to all virtual desktops in minutes (not days or weeks), saving on overhead costs. Optimized management tools save the IT department time and money. IT can provide a consistent computing environment to students across a wide range of devices.
