Sphere 3D Corp. (ANY)

Last year Sphere announced it became a VMWare partner, and of course V3 delivers VMWare VDI. This article sent my imagination running a little

If VMware releases an RDSH solution, Citrix might not be able to catch back up.

A few weeks ago, Brian wrote about how VMware’s evolution from View to Horizon DaaS might be an indicator that VMware is working on an RDSH-based solution that would compete directly with XenApp. We’ve been on VMware’s case about this for some time (as has just about every View customer, I’d imagine), so I surely hope it comes out sooner than later. In a recent interview with VMware’s new CTO for the Americas, Chris Wolf, he mentioned that it was something customers were looking for, saying:

“If I were to give VMware any advice, it would be to go after that published application use case, because that's really the one area that I would say Citrix has done well against VMware competitively. But if we can just do a full replacement of Citrix now, things will get interesting. I can't say VMware's going to do that, but what I can tell you is that customers have been asking for that type of capability, and VMware has always been very receptive to customer requests.”

Might a solution to compete with Xenapp involve Glassware??

its fun to speculate :)
