Laura Didio, highly respected tech reviewer tested GlassWare and said: " it does everything it claims to do. Sphere3D Glassware 2.0 & V3 Appliances are all excellent."
Dustin Hardin, Director of Technology of New Caney ISD, a current Glassware customer said: "We tried traditional virtualization techniques but the specific applications we needed couldn't virtualize or wouldn't scale. With our Glassware 2.0 enabled Dell(TM) server, we were able to virtualize the applications we needed and future proof our investment in Chromebooks for our students."
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."
Vibhor Kapoor, Director, Microsoft Azure Product Marketing said “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.”
Bryan Bleil, vice president of online technology implementation at Pearson. “We welcome Glassware 2.0 into the TestNav Qualified program as a technology provider that shares our goal for enhanced learning capabilities through technology adoption.”
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."
Eric Kelly, Sphere 3D CEO: "The Microsoft relationship is long term. What rolled out is Phase I. Microsoft sees value on a Global basis. What you see now is just the beginning."
Jason Katcher, Head of Education and Recruitment Advertising Google: “We see things diff. Leave it there.You sell on past. Others buy for future. Buying more (ANY shares) here. Nice job @Sphere3D on call.”
Todd Hartung, vice president of Promark: “End users and IT solutions providers are looking for choices and flexibility as they embrace cloud mobility and the relentless data growth in their environments. Our expanded relationship with Overland Storage and parent company Sphere 3D expands our solution portfolio, delivering more choice to our channel partners and empowering them to meet the expanding IT requirements of end users.”
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.
Simon Bramfitt says: "both Glassware and V3 have a genuinely new take on the business of getting Windows applications (Glassware) and Windows desktops (V3) in front of end-users."
Jeffrey Schwartz is editor of Redmond magazine and also covers cloud computing for Virtualization Review's Cloud Report. - “A new Microsoft partner, Sphere 3D, is making containers that have fewer dependencies than Docker.”
Larry Orecklyn, Microsoft VP and Chief Evangelist: “Sphere 3D is again demonstrating agility, creating exciting hybrid solutions architected to deliver user apps and data on-premises or in the cloud . That is what makes Sphere 3D a great fit with our Asure cloud ecosystem.”
Jim Broemmer, CEO at Adams Telephone Co-Operative. “There is a tremendous opportunity in the virtualization market that requires a solution with the right price performance benefits. Sphere 3D’s automated solution allows us to expand our portfolio of offerings to include economically sound virtual desktop and application services to our customers.”
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," Connor said.
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."
Roth analyst Krishna Shankar commented, "Following the merger between Overland Storage (OVRL) and Sphere3D, we believe that Sphere3D is making good progress in leveraging its cloud virtualization software and storage/virtualization appliance technology for any application and operating system running on any device including a key partnership with Microsoft's Azure Cloud services."
James Townsend: President of Microsoft Gold Partner InfoStrat, “Sphere 3D Virtualization Enables On-Demand Testing for Grades K-12.”
Mario M. Veljovic, Vice President Solutions MENA at Global Distribution FZE: “Partnering with Overland Storage, with its pioneering technologies, is a great step forward in our Mission. Being among the first to introduce their latest VDI Solutions in the region is a great privilege.”
Michael Keen, Tech expert and VP technology Services at Sphere: " 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. Glassware and hybrid cloud FTW"
