Sphere 3D Corp. (NASDAQ:ANY), a containerization,
virtualization, and data management solutions provider, announced
today that a Europe based FTSE listed company, a leader in support
services and construction, has selected HVE Virtualization Desktop
Infrastructure (VDI) coupled with Overland-Tandberg SnapServer All
Flash Array (ARA) for its strategic desktop modernization program
and storage expansion projects. This particular customer has
a workforce of approximately 80,000 people worldwide and a history
of success that dates back over 100 years.
The VDI solution from HVE will be used to deliver Windows 10
desktops and to provide application wrapping, independent
functionality testing, user acceptance testing, and hosting of
several project elements. The storage expansion with
SnapServer high performance NAS ARA storage will be used to provide
rapid access to the customer’s project definitions software
library, user data repositories, and SQL data.
The design will include the HVE 202-N VDI appliance technology
that uses a hyperconverged approach and specifically designed
hardware and software architecture to deliver VDI capabilities.
Integrated into the solution is the high performance SnapServer XSR
120 2U 12-Bay ARA that will provide rapid access to user data, SQL
databases, and project data.
“We have been working with APPtechnology and this particular
FTSE listed company for quite some time and can attest that their
teams have done a tremendous job researching their options for
their infrastructure modernization project using VDI,” said Joseph
O’Daniel, President of Virtualization and Professional Services at
Sphere 3D. Mr. O’Daniel also states, “By utilizing our outstanding
and proven VDI architecture, the customer will be able to rapidly
test and deploy projects to enhance its core vision and strategic
goals. Sphere 3D and HVE engineers look at data center solutions
from traditional converged, hyper converged, and open converged
technologies, thus empowering our customers with a great tool chest
for virtualization technologies to meet their overall goals.”
The project was won by reseller and strategic partner
APPtechnology, an end user computing (EUC) transformation and
services specialist headquartered in the United Kingdom (UK).
APPtechnology has also recently launched a new offering called
“Legacy” to manage and migrate legacy applications utilizing
Glassware 2.0™ and its framework features, and is a partner with
