APPtechnology Launches “Legacy” Offering Utilizing Glassware 2.0 from Sphere 3D
July 20 2017 - 8:45AM
Sphere 3D Corp. (NASDAQ:ANY), a containerization, virtualization
and data management solutions provider, announced today that
APPtechnology, an end user computing (EUC) transformation and
services specialist headquartered in the United Kingdom (UK), has
launched a new offering called “Legacy” to manage and migrate
legacy applications utilizing Glassware 2.0™ and its framework
features.
Many of today’s enterprises that still utilize
legacy applications are often faced with no upgrade path for these
legacy applications due to prohibitive redevelopment costs or
vendor decommissioning of support. With these same
enterprises migrating to Windows 10, managing the end of life for
business-critical legacy enterprise applications is a challenge for
them.
The “Legacy by APPtechnology” offering can
address this challenge by providing the following functionality to
the enterprise:
- Provision of 64-bit as well as 16 bit and 32 bit applications
to Windows 10 from a secure in support server
- Capability to deliver applications on all Windows, Android or
iOS client devices, as well as on an HTML5 enabled device of
choice, providing “BYOD” options to the workforce
- Applications operate in the same way as originally designed
with no multiple logins, no RDP sessions, and no complex additional
steps required
- Migration proof applications for the future: If the user
changes devices, for example from Windows 7 to Windows 10,
the application continues to operate with no need for redevelopment
or re-testing
- Application end of life can extend, across multiple Device
types and future OS releases, without the need for
redevelopment
- Remove the security risks associated with running applications
on an end-of-life OS i.e. Windows XP and Windows NT
The Legacy offering is designed to provide
enterprises a turnkey solution for legacy application migrations
that includes discovery, assessment, architecture, provisioning and
pre/post implementation professional services and/or support.
It also can be hosted and provided as a service on
premise, off-premise, in the cloud or as a hybrid solution.
QUOTES
“Enterprises can face both desktop and
client/server application migration issues and often end up using
ring-fenced unsupported OS systems to retain access to data or
functionality,” stated Mark Churly, Head of Software Solutions at
APPtechnology. “What we have done here at APPtechnology is combine
both the flexibility and competitive licensing model of Glassware
2.0 with our specialist professional services to provide a simple
yet robust solution for enterprises looking to focus more time on
operations rather than triage the migration path of legacy
applications.”
“We have been working with APPtechnology for
quite some time and can say unequivocally that their team has done
a tremendous job with this offering,” said Joseph O’Daniel,
President of Virtualization and Professional Services at Sphere 3D.
“By packaging their significant expertise in application migrations
and management with our Glassware 2.0 technology, they have created
a seamless path for enterprises looking to extend the life of their
applications”.
