Sphere 3D Corp. (ANY)

[donkschmonk]

To summarize a few key FACTS:

- Sphere 3D has partnered with VMware and was mentioned alongside only a huge players like Dell etc in the public announcement and PR by VMware in February itself, and a VMware blog. Also, VMware with Sphere 3D videos are available for viewing on the Sphere 3D website. The short propaganda of not material partnership was then further invalidated by VMware itself in their tweets saying: "Hear how Horizon Air Hybrid-Mode and @Sphere3D work together to form a simple & flexible hybrid offering". Various videos and a LOT of content on the special features of the V3 appliances are on the Sphere 3D website for viewing and reading. Shorts like to put it as "VMware in a box", well VMware is in the uniquely built hyper-converged "boxes" along with features everybody should check themselves. Despite all that relying on short posters here, one even hillariousy repeatedly claimed that the $20 billion company VMware did all this for a $7'500 fee. Gives you an idea of the absurdity of posts we by shaorts we have to deal with here..

- On MIcrosoft, already last year we have seen Microsoft executives praising Sphere 3D's application virtualisation, Glassware 2.0, on road shows with Sphere 3D, and Nasdaq bell ringing and at the Investor Presentation. We also had a PR recently specifically mentioning co-marketing efforts. Again, ignore at own will.

- Then we have a reputable company in the healthcare space called Novarad that very publicly repeatedly endorsed Sphere 3D, its VDI and its application virtualization solutions, Glassware, even then named an entire product line Novaglass, if thats any hint. They even explained the road they took from initial "discovery" of Glassware, to the product and offering stage now. They are also exhibiting at stands on exhibitions now right alongside Sphere 3D ...

- Since then we have also seen a $20 million very favourable debt financing by Opus bank, again endorsing Sphere 3D and its updated line of products.

- To match the updated and increased line of products, Sphere 3D also signed a very reputable Vale Added Reseller (VAR)?called Entisys 360 who publicly endorsed their new product lines too and that magnifies Sphere 3D's sales and deployment capabilities. Their profile is VERY interesting to check out...

- We also saw recently some very interesting reviews published from Techtarget and Wikibon on Glassware. Two highly acclaimed tech websites! Not surprisingly shorts called them "fluff" compared to their ihub posts. LOL

So then of course if you ignore anything that is by anybody except shorts on this board denying all of the above, and also all the IT execs cited in the DD stickie above, etc. etc., if you just ignore them ALLin favour of i-hub posters with dubious intents. then I guess...well that would be perfectly rational, NOT.

Pretty obvious that a company that was in development mode and admittedly underestimated its time to market has turned its ways now, has an updated product portfolio (that will continue to get even further updated) and is getting increasingly traction and endorsed by major players for it...

Naturally, shorts will try to defend their position until covered...
