Now let's talk about our vision for innovation and growth moving forward. In addition to our current product and service portfolio, we will deliver a new value proposition with a suite of products that include both private and public cloud storage solutions with virtualization options ranging from storage virtualization and virtual desktop appliance, and delivering native applications on your mobile device.

In fact, with our partnership with Sphere 3D and V3 Systems, we began building the V3 Systems virtual desktop appliance in December. We currently have beta customers using this enterprise mobility product on both the appliance and on the cloud. We plan to introduce a suite of workforce mobility products into the market over the course of this calendar year beginning with a phased rollout of our appliance product within the first half of this calendar year. As we noted before, we will offer this innovative products in 2 different delivery models: one, as an appliance to be installed at the customer location; and the other, as a cloud solution.

We're very excited about the capabilities of our new enterprise mobility and cloud storage solution, which will significantly expand our addressable market. We also are excited about the announcement yesterday that we expanded our relationship with Sphere 3D as a result of their recent agreement to acquire the product portfolio of V3 Systems. Overland and Sphere 3D are integrating their technologies to introduce a virtualized storage platform or software-defined storage. With our integrated platform, users will have the ability to virtualize storage as well as virtualize native applications and virtualize desktops.

As part of our existing supplier agreement with Sphere 3D, V3 Systems offerings will be included and delivered through Overland channel partners. We expect the combination of the joint technologies of Sphere 3D, V3 Systems along with Overland's NAS platform to create a unique value proposition that satisfies paying [ph] point in today's growing market.
