Aiming for simplicity in the stack | #VMworld

Delivering secure, performance-oriented and cost-effective solutions in the stack continues to be a primary focus at Sphere 3D Corp.

During VMworld2015, Peter Bookman, global strategist for Sphere 3D, talked with Stu Miniman, cohost of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, about who is driving the innovation and leading the way to optimizing workloads and hyper-convergence for the company internationally.

Growing a partner ecosystem across security, performance and cost

“My role as an entrepreneur has always been one where I appreciate the large companies being giant cruise ships that can’t turn very fast, so there’s all these works being done that point the way for the rest of us to do it ahead of schedule and faster and better,” said Bookman.

Bookman went on to explain all of the capabilities the company is offering to its customers.
