Sphere 3D’s Glassware 2.0™ and SnapCLOUD™ Adoption Continues to Grow in Microsoft Azure Cloud Marketplace
14 March 2016 - 11:47PM
Sphere 3D Corp. (NASDAQ:ANY), a containerization, virtualization
and data management solutions provider and parent company of
Overland Storage and Tandberg Data, today announced the continued
successes in customer adoption of its two Cloud offerings in the
Microsoft Azure Marketplace: G-Series Cloud, powered by
Glassware 2.0™ technology - its Cloud-based Windows application
containerization solution; and SnapCLOUD™ - its Cloud-based
data storage product. Sphere 3D has more than doubled the
number of provisioned G-Series Cloud and SnapCLOUD virtual machines
(VMs) to over 300, since announcing its joint marketing program
with Microsoft on January 11, 2016 (see
http://bit.ly/1LVTyFo).
The joint Sphere 3D / Azure campaign is being targeted to a
subset of Sphere 3D’s dedicated customers that use its
brand-leading, on-premise SnapServer® storage solutions in North
America. Recipients of the campaign have shared that they
appreciate the comprehensiveness of both the Sphere 3D and
Microsoft Azure services and how they seamlessly work
together. The campaign’s survey results, taken after each
deployment, also show high marks of customer satisfaction for the
products’ hybrid-cloud as well as service and support
capabilities.
“Our corporate strategy of vertical integration and
market-driven service offerings continue to crystallize the
positive results we see from our customers within our product
portfolios. Glassware 2.0 and SnapCLOUD, coupled with the security
and dependability of Microsoft Azure, have given our customers
tremendous agility within their workflows. These early stage
campaign outcomes reinforce our value proposition, which enable us
to deliver comprehensive hybrid-cloud solutions to our customers,”
said Eric Kelly, CEO of Sphere 3D. He continued by stating,
“This positive customer momentum will help accelerate our plan to
expand these cross-promotional tactics and methodologies to the
sizable installed bases for our RDX® purpose-built, back-up
appliance and NEO® tape library customers, which amount to hundreds
of thousands of deployments worldwide.”
Wesley Tate, IT Director for an international import-export
company, stated, “Prior to learning about SnapCLOUD, I had been
hesitant to adopt Cloud storage for our day-to-day business
environment due to our concerns of a security breach and potential
loss of control of the data. However, once we became familiar
with Microsoft Azure’s stringent security levels, our team could
feel comfortable controlling what data goes into the Cloud, how
long it stays there and who gets access privileges. When our
employees travel abroad, this makes life easy because they can use
their Chromebooks to access the Cloud, and my IT team knows the
data they access is secure in SnapCLOUD. Augmenting our
existing on-premise SnapServers with SnapCLOUD is already proving
to be an excellent decision for our business.”
