Donk, I am still waiting for you to post those tweets from Bookman. And please by all means, show the tweets or posts that you say I have made
You called me a liar. So back it up cowboy, or leave the board. I have proven with my previous post that what I wrote was what Bookman said WORD FOR WORD. And to the fine gentleman that asked for my VMware sources, here's the deal. When you come out from behind an alias and actually have the balls to take ownership of your statements I may consider giving you my source (with his permission of course). I worked at VMware and spent time touring clients with the founder of the company. It's amazing what you can learn when you politely ask these industry leaders for information or help.
And I'm sure Peter Bookman will confirm I have a good supply of industry contacts to ask for information. :)
I have never said that Novarad is not selling Glassware. Or to be more specific, offering a Glassware solution for sale. They may well be, but let's be frank, no one is buying Glassware. What I have said is that the Novaglass appliance, as described by Novarad's own marketing materials and as described to me by their VP Technology, is a Virtual Desktop Appliance based on the V3 appliance. And that solution is based on VMware View/Horizon. Virtual desktop is not remote application services i.e. Glassware. Learn the difference.
This was verified by Michael Keen, the former VP Technology Services at Sphere 3D. What's more, it is not possible to mount a Glassware stack on top of a V3-View based appliance, nor is it possible to do the reverse. Read the VMware Horizon license. It is for desktop workloads only and specifically prohibits server (i.e.. Glassware) workloads. Perhaps Simon Bramfitt can finally deliver that white paper detailing how it all works together. The last time he wrote something about the two technologies, he was unequivocal: Glassware and the V3 appliance are NOT integrated.
Could the Novarad team deploy two servers at a client site with each solution? Yes. But since Horizon now offers remote desktop terminal services as well as virtual desktop, any dual deploy scenario would be unnecessarily expensive and complex. Novarad has "sold" it for two years now. Perhaps they can name one client that uses it. Should be simple after two years of sales into a base of over 1,000 customers.
Donk, you suggest that I have lied and make things up to discredit Sphere. Nothing could be further from the truth, as there is no need to do so. All I do is repeat their own statements, and identify the inconsistencies, and the false and misleading statements.
As I did with Bookman. Let me repeat VERBATIM what Peter Bookman said: "We offer some powerful and unique offerings within VMware Horizon including Glassware and DCO" This was in response to Patrick Lauder's question "Can you confirm GS is being used by VMware Horizon?" Bookman said "within Horizon". He led everyone to believe that VMware was in fact reselling Sphere software.
The key fact: the stock jumped more than 50% on this false news. Many still foolishly believe it.
Remind me, when did those founder's shares become unrestricted?
