Sphere 3D Plans New Virtual Storage Platform

Built on proprietary, simple and resilient storage OS

Sphere 3D Corp. unveiled its plans for a new virtual storage platform. Company's virtual storage platform is built on a proprietary, simple and resilient storage OS, the same platform that is storing and protecting over 350PB of storage onsite at customer deployments worldwide. With versatile performance and capacity options designed to meet the needs of almost any application and workload, users will benefit from fully-featured enterprise NAS functionality in the cloud.

This virtual NAS appliance is easy to provision in the cloud, and delivers the existing features from company's storage portfolio, including built-in sync and share for data access anywhere, anytime and from any device. This offering brings the simplicity required for customers to deploy enterprise-grade stor, in minutes. The virtual appliances are designed to integrate with Sphere 3D's existing deployment of hundreds of thousands of physical SnapServer and SnapScale enterprise storage appliances in existing customer environments. Whether customers wish to choose a public, private or hybrid cloud model, the ability to address their needs for data growth, backup or DR has been easier.

Additional details will be made available at the previously announced events entitled Technologies to Power the Next Cloud, where the company will provide the first public demonstrations of the virtual storage platform.
