SAN JOSE, Calif., July 11, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sphere 3D Corp. (NASDAQ: ANY ), a containerization, virtualization and data management solution provider, today announced that it has effected the previously approved share consolidation (also known as a reverse stock split) of its common shares on a 1-for-25 basis.
