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.”
