Sphere 3D Corp. announced that Surpass, LLC will upgrade two of its call centers with Sphere 3D's hybrid cloud offerings. Surpass will deploy a complete hybrid cloud solution that includes Sphere 3D's V3 virtual desktop appliances, integrated with software from VMware and managed by Sphere 3D's Desktop Cloud Orchestrator (DCO); 80 seats of Glassware 2.0 containers for applications virtualization; SnapServer physical storage for shared storage; and the SnapCLOUD virtual storage service in Microsoft Azure.

Surpass will be able to take advantage of a comprehensive cloud solution that offers simple deployment and management while maintaining the ability to scale out as needed. Although this approach provides a complete hybrid cloud experience, it's delivered at a low total cost of ownership; with the initial call center deployment costing just over $150,000.
