Sphere 3D’s Collaboration With Microsoft to Bring SnapCLOUD™ Adopters to Microsoft Azure Marketplace is an Immediate Succ...
January 11 2016 - 8:32AM
Sphere 3D Corp. (NASDAQ:ANY), a containerization, virtualization
and data management solutions provider and parent company of
Overland Storage and Tandberg Data, today announced encouraging
initial results from its Microsoft Azure joint marketing campaign.
In-market tactics launched in late November 2015 were directed to a
control portion, subset of its dedicated customers that use its
SnapServer® and SnapScale® on-premise storage solutions. The
campaign entices them to augment their existing solutions with
Sphere 3D’s SnapCLOUD™ - a cloud-based data storage product
which is available from the Microsoft Azure Marketplace. The
campaign has already resulted in over 100 SnapCLOUD customer
deployments, meeting 40% of the target goal for the original 90-day
period.
“This effort is designed to galvanize the inter-relationships of
the various brands within the Sphere3D portfolio. We believe we
will continue to gain traction through vertical integration of our
distinctive capabilities that are designed to catalyze adoption of
our products,” said Eric Kelly, CEO of Sphere 3D. “Many of
these same loyal SnapServer and SnapScale customers have also begun
looking at our G-Series Cloud, application containerization
solution, powered by Glassware 2.0™, which is also available in the
Microsoft Azure Marketplace.”
“My organization has been very pleased with the SnapServer
product line and I view it as a trusted brand for reliability, data
protection, and enterprise-grade performance,” said Macon Barham,
owner of a leading national insurance agency, based in Peachtree
City, GA. “When we learned about the SnapCLOUD solution last month,
with its ability to provision our unstructured data in minutes
within the Microsoft Azure Cloud Marketplace, it was an easy
decision to help round out our data storage infrastructure.” He
continued by stating, “I really like how the cloud approach allows
me to control expenses by paying only for what we use; and if we
need more we can quickly increase our capacity without taking on
the IT expense or burden of build out and technical support.”
Sphere 3D has a large customer base of SnapServer users,
consisting of both Small and Medium-sized Business (SMBs), as well
as large enterprises, that are seeking to augment their on-premise
storage solutions with a hybrid cloud infrastructure. The
SnapCLOUD offering in the Microsoft Azure Marketplace allows
customers to easily deploy a cloud-based solution while recognizing
the great benefits of flexibility, load balancing and security
offered by Microsoft Azure.
