here is a nice refresher served by boogins on the YMB re. today's webinar:


Microsoft / Sphere Partnership

Well, today is the beginning of what all Sphere longs hope will be a long and prosperous relationship with Microsoft. Today MSFT will connect with their partners worldwide(there are three separate webinars depending on what time zone you are in) to introduce what MSFT claims is technology as revolutionary as Docker.

If you don't know Sphere already their technology is called Glassware. Glassware allows any application of any generation in any language to be virtualized in a few clicks and played on any device of any generation. Better reread that a couple of times, it's a lot to take in. The IT nightmare of device incompatability, upgrading software, security, etc. just got a lot easier.

The first major corporation to step up to the plate was MSFT who is announcing the availablity of Glassware on their cloud platform Azure today, and hosting a worldwide webinar to explain how revolutionary and cost effective it is. Search for Sphere3d webinar MSFT and you will see the announcement. Here is a sample of what MSFT said in their invitation to the webinar:

Sphere 3D stands apart as the provider of Glassware 2.0™, which is the industry’s first and the only Windows containerization technology. Though the industry has been abuzz with the premise that Linux containers are the new and efficient way to deliver application virtualization, it is often missed that these Linux containers do not apply to the majority of Windows based applications that are in production in corporate IT infrastructures around the world.

The Glassware 2.0 Windows containerization platform combined with the SnapCLOUD™, Sphere 3D’s virtual Network Attached Storage (NAS) in the cloud, delivers unmatched simplicity and scalability, resulting in a drastic TCO reduction to companies that are looking to modernize their IT infrastructure for the mobile workforce. These Sphere 3D solutions are built to be hybrid-cloud ready, and are now available on Microsoft Azure.
