Multi-Site National Call Center Selects Sphere 3D’s Hybrid Cloud Solutions
January 19 2016 - 9:02AM
Sphere 3D Corp. (NASDAQ:ANY), a containerization,
virtualization and data management solutions provider, today
announced that Surpass, LLC (“Surpass”), a national call center
headquartered in Lynchburg, VA will upgrade two of its call centers
with Sphere 3D’s hybrid cloud offerings.
“We have worked very hard over the past year to
enhance, refine and align our products. Our strategy of vertically
integrating our portfolio to deliver turnkey hybrid cloud offerings
now allows us to provide highly impactful solutions to our
customers,” said Peter Bookman, Global Strategist at Sphere 3D. “I
am pleased that we were selected by Surpass, and look forward to
assisting them to scale quickly and improve their workflow through
the type of innovation that elevates our solutions above those
offered by our competitors.”
“At Surpass, we believe the key to our growth is
providing world class service to our clients while maximizing
operating efficiencies. We are excited to bring Sphere 3D’s hybrid
cloud solutions into our newest 80-seat call center located in
Lynchburg, VA. Additionally, we plan on leveraging their portfolio
of services to modernize our current facility without replacing any
of our existing hardware,” said Ken Mnemcovich, President at
Surpass, LLC. “Sphere 3D’s portfolio supports the flexibility to
purchase in a bundled price or a la carte depending on our real
time requirements. We anticipate our callers’ average call time
(ACT) will shorten and deliver optimal results for our clients. We
now have the tools we need to support our virtual desktops while
providing secure access to our client data both onsite and in the
Microsoft Azure cloud.”
Surpass will deploy a complete hybrid cloud
solution that includes Sphere 3D’s V3™ virtual desktop appliances,
integrated with software from VMware and managed by Sphere 3D’s
Desktop Cloud Orchestrator™ (DCO); 80 seats of Glassware 2.0™
containers for applications virtualization; SnapServer® physical
storage for shared storage; and the SnapCLOUD™ virtual storage
service in Microsoft Azure.
Surpass will be able to take advantage of a comprehensive cloud
solution that offers simple deployment and management while
maintaining the ability to scale out as needed. Although this
approach provides a complete hybrid cloud
experience, it's delivered at a low total cost of
ownership; with the initial call center deployment costing just
over $150,000 U.S.
