Sphere 3D Corp. (ANY)

Yes, and I emphasize "As it is on Azure"

I truly believe their product has major benefits, but there's a large gap between us DIY and having to call their professional services team as it stands. If we can do it quickly in house it's much preferred to relying on vendors.

There are some applications that would be "nice" to virtualize immediately, but VDI and local installs does the job for now, so why bother? If we could do it easily ourselves that would be awesome, but that's not going to happen as it is now. We are much more likely to wait rather than jump onboard an immature technology.

The big clients who have a dire need for this will be the first movers, the smaller players <50 installs will have to come later, TCO isn't that high for them anyways... for 100's or 1000's, that's a different story.

I have a strategic hedged position on Sphere, yes.

Here's another concern: why are you all investing in technology stocks when you can't manage to test it yourself? It only takes a few clicks. Am I the only person here who has actually tested the software or actually understands the technologies involved? No wonder the stock has crashed from 10 to 1.

Stop the insults and sledging and bring me facts. I'm turning here for information that I have yet to discover.. let's share these so we can discuss and come up with a price for this black box.


And p.s. this comment doesn't really fly: "Sphere marketing materials says it works and this supersedes your experience or any other tech expert's insight."
