Sphere 3D Joins Microsoft Enterprise Cloud Alliance
November 03 2015 - 8:02AM
Sphere 3D Corp. (NASDAQ:ANY), a next cloud containerization,
virtualization and data management solutions provider, today
announced the company has joined the Microsoft Enterprise Cloud
Alliance Program to deliver virtual application, virtual desktop,
and enterprise storage solutions that utilize the Microsoft Azure
cloud computing platform.
The goal of Microsoft's Enterprise Cloud Alliance is to create,
nurture and grow a strong eco-system across a broad set of
Enterprise Cloud Products delivering the best on premise, hosted
and Public Cloud solutions in the industry. The Alliance was formed
to promote and support partners providing integrations and
extensions to existing Microsoft products. As part of Microsoft's
Enterprise Cloud Alliance, Sphere 3D will provide its flagship
application containerization platform, Glassware 2.0TM, which
enables Azure users to modernize and upgrade any application to any
connected device, and its SnapCLOUDTM virtual Networked Attached
Storage (NAS) solution, which facilitates easy deployment of
enterprise storage in the cloud or in a hybrid cloud
environment.
"With the rapid rise of mobile devices in the workplace, the
value proposition of moving enterprise applications to the cloud
for improved agility and scalability is clear," said Dan Camarda,
vice president of business development at Sphere 3D. "And, as
organizations increasingly shift workloads to the cloud, they need
a quick, easy and cost-effective solution to transfer their
applications to Microsoft Azure. By joining the Enterprise Cloud
Alliance, we created a new ecosystem which we hope will effectively
transform the economics of application virtualization and delivery
to any device at any time."
"Transitioning legacy applications and storage infrastructures
not designed for the cloud has become both complicated and
expensive for the enterprise," stated Chris Lwanga, principle PM
manager, Microsoft. "Sphere 3D's 'next cloud' solutions complement
the capabilities of the Microsoft Azure ecosystem. Customers now
have a compelling option for modernizing and mobilizing their
existing infrastructure; and they can avoid rip-and-replace
scenarios."
Sphere 3D's Glassware 2.0 and SnapCLOUD are each hybrid-cloud
ready, able to deliver unmatched simplicity and scalability, and
offer a drastic Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) reduction to
companies seeking to modernize their IT infrastructure for the
mobile workforce.
