Validation of OVRL/Tandberg product lines, improve

Validation of OVRL/Tandberg product lines, improved storage products w/opportunity for improved margins. One bear argument has been that OVRL/Tandberg - each of which admittedly has a terrible track record regarding sales, margins, profits – would drag Sphere 3d under by the weight of its non-performance. This storage product line has undergone critical developments which have already witnessed validation in the market place. Snapserver, for example, has undergone continuous improvement during 2014 as for example this July press release:

Perhaps the most intriguing market confirmation of snap server technology came in the announcement of the Mobotix partnership for video surveillance - a market that is aniticpated to grow to 26 billion by 2018…

“Josh Varghese of Texas-based Industrial Networking Solutions said, ‘While conducting several system integrations for MOBOTIX IP camera systems, we encountered quality and reliability issues with two other brands of network attached storage. As a result, we turned to Overland Storage (now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sphere 3D) and their SnapServer NAS series of video surveillance solutions. We have installed and configured several SnapServers for various customers and have only good things to say. They are simple to configure, have been rock solid for months, and the few times we’ve needed support they were readily available and helpful. The SnapServer NAS allows us to offer a complete IP video solution for our MOBOTIX surveillance installations.’”

Rdx (Tandberg) technology also under development with Rdx quikstor shipped capacity up 42%

While the ultimate evidence will be continued growth in revenues, margins and profits in the storage product line there is significant evidence that the OVRL/Tandberg component of the company is well into the process of creating its own value, less at risk to drain the company of resources and increasingly likely to be its own value added driver to the bottom line.
