We are very excited to announce our being acquired by Sphere 3D!!!
Since day one at V3 Systems we have been focused on moving desktops to the cloud where they belong. As we began, the hurdle of performance was the biggest deterrent, particularly at scale. As an appliance company with drop in guaranteed performance we received almost instant validation. It has been exciting as we have grown to watch as the industry moved from disbelief to an expectation of performance.
As a combined company yet wholly owned subsidiary of Sphere 3D we are excited to continue our pursuit of moving desktops to the cloud where they belong. We have talked for a long time about the belief going back to the early desktop days of Windows and Apple that my desktop should be available to me where ever I am. The benefits of a cloud based managed desktop moves desktop and mobile device management to a place where it is both affordable for everyone and realistic to have desktops and applications which are available anytime, anywhere, outperforming “physical desktop only” architectures in every way.
Sphere 3D brings a lot to our table and it will be very exciting to participate as new architectures which bring us closer to our desktops and applications conforming to our environment become available through service providers and partners showing us how content is best produced from the desktops we are familiar with, but with new features which only cloud based applications and desktops can provide.
As a startup in VDI we have had to deal with the successes and failures of so many of those that came before us. It seems there will be many that are the critics as well as the advocates that almost seem to flip flop when it comes to predicting success and failure of desktops and their roles in the cloud. We have read as the mobile world has brought about many that say the desktop world is shrinking while the mobile device world is growing. We have seen only growth when it comes to all of the growth and predicted growth as we describe what is really happening as a holistic content creation and management solution which incorporates the desktop, applications, and the information we interact with and become available in the way we want it, when we want it, where every we might be, utilizing the best devices and technologies available at the time.
This new combined relationship with Sphere 3D brings mobile application technology which when combined with V3’s Desktop Cloud Orchestration technology brings true hybrid Desktop as a Service as well as hybrid Applications as a Service where the lines between on premise systems, local systems, and cloud systems blur together to become just MY system and my ability to be productive once again increases exponentially.
V3 Systems and Sphere 3D bring together thought leadership in virtualization, applications, desktops, management, appliances, and service providers that will continue to grow quickly so that you can package your desktop, application, and information experience into the ways which best suit you and your environment. Whether you are just wanting a virtualized application experience on premise, local, and in the cloud linked with your perspective information, or want to add the desktop availability and management to your complete experience, any IT department, small company, or the largest enterprise will be able to simply create policies like never before which change how we look at our content creation experience as well as how we view and interact with the information we produce and use every day.
Truly we are excited about this acquisition and view it as not an exit, but as an ideal marriage for a next phase of growth and development. Now that the performance bar has been raised for desktops, and applications, can we raise it again? Yes!!!!! Can we deliver never before seen levels of SLAs which are not just competitive, but deliver experiences in services which have not been available to many market places before? Yes!!!!
Watch as this story continues to unfold and more great stuff rolls out. It will begin to happen quickly and will continue to be a great ride as our passion to move desktops and applications to the cloud continues to show how old metrics are outdated and need revision. We look forward to sharing our new stuff with you and hearing your ideas and feedback as great new architectures unfold for the marketplace before us.
