Unfortunate circumstances played right into his hands. The past is past. Yes, I lost a boatload in ANY to date but expect to make it back in spades now that ship is righted and they are actually selling INTEGRATED product and they have the help of the largest VDI company in the world.
VMware expected to garner about $7B this year or roughly $600MM per MONTH. Not sure how much will be from new products but most major users of IT need the latest, best performing, most secure, scalable, easy to install/maintain software that also SAVES LOTS OF MONEY to boot so I expect a great percentage of their customers will upgrade to the new Horizon7 product and their other new offering.
I also believe on top of the VMWare product they will need GW to attain the elite performance/features/cost savings only available thru GW. If we disagree on this point, so be it, but that is how I see it playing out. Thus, I expect tremendous sales from VMWare, their top reseller ENISYS (which ANY just announced a partnership with this week), and the other major MSP's Sphere has lined up. Did they sell in the past,NO, because they had no family of products to sell. Do they have such products now, YES, thus everything is different. I don't live in 2014 or 2015, this is 2016 and I believe we see from today forward a massive ramp up in sales by these partners of our products.
I know I sound harsh at times, but personally I hope the best for you. I get irate when a situation IMO is not looked at from a balanced perspective and I think the last number of months you were way too critical with no mention of any of the good things that have happened over the last 4-5 months. I am very positive about Sphere in the near and long term future, but I am able to admit Sphere still has areas they have to clean up for me to be totally happy and for retail investors to not be rightfully pissed off about. That is all I would like to see this board return to, investors that identify problems and ask questions but also admit when mgt does things right and helps the company move forward.
As it is, major players with major news, positive news, avoid this board like the plague. I try and stay away, but I read from time to time (like today) and get pissed off and spout some of my frustrations with IHUB because it use to be such an excellent board. Wish the newbies could have seen it when it was a great way to exchange ideas. Now, it is like butting your head against a wall the entire time you read the posts.
