Sphere 3D Corp. (NASDAQ:ANY), a containerization, virtualization,
and data management solutions provider, is pleased to announce that
HVE ConneXions has recently secured purchase orders with a number
of customers, including Bainbridge Island School District, SGH
Simpson Gumpertz & Heger Inc., and Superior Construction
Services to deploy next-generation desktop virtualization
solutions. These latest customer wins have helped HVE surpass
300 customers to date and an expanded geographical presence by
leveraging the Sphere 3D channel ecosystem.
Recent wins include:
Bainbridge Island School District 303
(www.bisd303.org), a fast-growing, technology-focused school
district in the State of Washington, needed a Datrium-ready,
virtual desktop solution for graphic intense workloads to add to
their existing IT infrastructure. An RFP was published and multiple
vendors presented their desktop virtualization solutions to the
school district. HVE presented a turnkey solution (4-3DGFX VDI
appliances) with plug and play Datrium capabilities, and ultimately
was awarded its first K-12 win in the state of Washington.
One key reason the school district chose HVE was the direct
endorsement of the solution by partner, Datrium.
“While most vendors responding to our RFP focused on hardware,
HVE stood out by presenting a complete VDI solution,” said Alan
Silcott, Network Supervisor at Bainbridge Island School District
303. “We've ran into many issues trying to navigate VDI
ourselves, and often felt like we didn't know who to call.
Ultimately, we needed a partner with the prerequisite knowledge and
experience relevant to our environment to help us provide our
students and staff the experience they deserve. After talking
with engineers at HVE, it was clear their company had the knowledge
and support model we were looking for, and they were just as
determined to make our deployment a success. The fact that
HVE came in at a very reasonable price was an added bonus.”
SGH Simpson Gumpertz & Heger (www.sgh.com),
a national Boston-based engineering firm, is recognized as an
expert on the science of causes of structural failure as well as
other on-going engineering challenges for their customers. Their
rapidly growing organization, with offices across the United
States, required a robust, reproducible desktop virtualization
solution to meet the needs of their projects spanning over thirty
countries. The engineering firm selected the HVE-3DGFX appliance
for graphic intensive VDI and BIX6-MINI for control servers in each
location, with the first phase of installation planned for January
2018 in SGH’s Boston and San Francisco offices.
Superior Construction Services
(www.superiorconstructionservices.com), a leading provider of
construction services throughout North America, has projects of
varying sizes and scope within the energy, industrial, mining, and
commercial markets. As an existing HVE customer since 2015, they
were in their third year of a managed services contract with HVE
and extremely pleased with the level of support that HVE has
provided and the reliability of the HVE appliances. The VDI needs
of the company for graphic intensive programs like MAGNET are on
the rise, and Superior took a proactive approach to empower the
increasing number of high demand users internally through the
purchase of the high performance HVE-3DGFX appliances.
“Given our multiple job sites across North America, it was
necessary to provide our project managers and engineers remote
access to the business-critical information they need on a daily
basis,” said Brian Simmons, President & Principal Owner of
Superior Construction Services. “The service and support that we
have received from HVE has been outstanding; it was an easy
business decision to further our investment in their HVE
high-performance appliances.”
Joseph O‘Daniel, President of Virtualization & Professional
Services at Sphere 3D also commented, “We are seeing a number of
new and repeat customers turn to HVE to assist in their digital
transformation. These 3 substantive HVE customer wins are
especially exciting for us, as we aim to deliver the best graphics
intense VDI solution in the market today that answers our
customers‘ needs for a high-performance, cost-effective, and
scalable solution.”
Available today, the 3DGFX appliances come with next generation
CPU, memory, storage, and graphics boards along with HVE’s first
rate hardware support. Unlike typical VDI solutions that are tied
to shared storage, HVE has designed fully converged, open converged
and hyperconverged architectures as well as an attached SAN
architecture, so customers have the flexibility to choose what is
best for their new or existing VDI environment. Contact an HVE
