Sphere 3D Corp. (NASDAQ:ANY), a containerization, virtualization,
and data management solutions provider, today announced that Gollob
Morgan Peddy PC has selected the company’s HVE technology for a
complete VDI expansion through authorized reseller, Cynergy
Technology.
The IT departments of today’s CPA firms face
multiple challenges including changing regulations, tax laws,
cyber-security, compliance, data retention, and software solutions
that meet growing customer requirements. Rapidly changing updates
to tax laws, forms, and software place a large demand on the firm’s
IT staff coupled with the demands of 24x7 access and the ability to
provide high performance, reliable end user computing.
Gollob Morgan Peddy was an early adopter of
desktop virtualization technology. The IT Manager realized the
benefits of VDI and implemented the initial solution over 3 years
ago. With updates in technology, software solutions, and overall
growth of the firm, it was time to upgrade their VDI footprint to
some of the latest technologies that would provide long-term
benefits, exceptional performance, high-reliability, and meet their
expansion demand.
The HVE and Cynergy team reviewed Gollob Morgan
Peddy’s requirements, interviewed staff, and evaluated several
solutions. They then provided a turnkey solution and provided an
initial proof of concept to prove the viability and ensure all
requirements were met. Steve Mayfield (IT Manager) quickly realized
that the HVE solution was spot on to meet GMP requirements.
The design solution included a dual converged
node VDI solution utilizing HVE’s 3DGFX platforms with capabilities
to add NVIDIA Tesla M60’s or M10’s down the road and expand as
needed. This solution provides all flash converged storage,
integrated Teradici PCoIP Apex offload cards, 10G Ethernet
interfaces, and upgraded VMWare Horizon architecture with added
features for application and end user data management. The solution
is scalable based on consumption usage and overall is well within
budget demands.
The VDI solution provided by HVE has furnished
Gollob Morgan Peddy with a highly effective end-user desktop
experience. Employees can access all software applications and data
24x7 from any location, and this has increased their ability to
effectively serve and support their customers.

“As the IT Manager for GMP, the technology
decisions I make directly impact overall profitability, liability,
and productivity. HVE and Cynergy took the time to listen,
understand our goals and objectives, and provided a solution that
will greatly impact, in a positive manner, our end user community
with their VDI solution. We are excited to have this long-term
solution for GMP, and HVE’s platforms are delivering as promised,”
said Steve Mayfield, IT Director, Gollob Morgan Peddy PC.
Joseph O’Daniel, President of Virtualization and
Professional Services at Sphere 3D, stated: “HVE has thoroughly
enjoyed working through the POC and VDI solution process with
Gollob Morgan Peddy. Mr. Mayfield and his staff have certainly set
up their company with next-generation technology that we feel
confident will maintain a successful and safe technology
environment. It has been so rewarding to see a large accounting
firm adopt our 3DGFX VDI appliance and enjoy its many
benefits.”
