Optimized for simplicity, flexibility and scalability, Sphere 3D’s Glassware 2.0 platform eliminates the complex tasks of designing, implementing, and maintaining application hosting environments, extending the benefits of secure scalable server-based computing to all. Glassware 2.0 extends the useful life of applications by decoupling the application from the underlying operating system. Glassware 2.0 can virtualize 16, 32, and 64-bit Microsoft Windows applications* and deliver them with native functionality to most end user devices: Chromebooks, Windows 10 clients, iPads, thin clients, tablets, etc. Glassware 2.0 uses a container-based approach to application virtualization deployed on servers, coupled with a remote presentation capability, to seamlessly deliver applications to end user computing devices. Unlike hypervisor-based approaches, with Glassware 2.0 the application’s host OS is never installed on the appliance (server).
