Leading Healthcare Accounting Firm Achieves Multiple Points of Data
Recovery and Full HIPAA Compliance While Lowering Administrative
Overhead by 40 Percent SAN DIEGO, Aug. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Overland Storage, Inc. (NASDAQ:OVRL) today announced that
Physicians Accounting, a Wisconsin-based professional accounting
services firm for anesthesia providers has deployed its ULTAMUS(TM)
PRO 500 protected primary storage appliance as well as the REO
SERIES(R) disk-based backup appliance and NEO SERIES(R) tape
library for unsurpassed levels of data protection across all
storage tiers. Since its inception in 1974, Physicians Accounting
has focused on delivering the highest levels of medical accounting
services for its clients while complying with ever-changing
regulations in healthcare. As a result, the firm has grown steadily
and now supports hundreds of anesthesia providers in private
practice as well as physician groups of varying size and
complexity. In safeguarding clients' sensitive medical information,
the company adheres to a "save and save often" data protection
philosophy to ensure the privacy, security, availability and
integrity of mission-critical accounting data. According to Roy
Mowbray, systems administrator for Physicians Accounting, the
decision to implement a comprehensive information lifecycle
management (ILM) strategy led to an evaluation of Overland's
tiered-storage approach. "We needed instant access to our most
crucial accounting files, expedited recovery of near-term data and
more efficient management of archived information," he says. "With
Overland, we were able to work with a single, trusted source to
create a bulletproof, tiered storage platform that maximized the
value of our storage resources." Physicians Accounting leverages
Overland's ULTAMUS PRO 500 with embedded Protection OS software
intelligence and advanced features, including unlimited and
near-instantaneous snapshots as well as local and remote
replication of the company's SQL Server, Microsoft Exchange and
other vital business applications. The company then takes advantage
of the built-in virtual tape library (VTL) capability on a REO 1000
appliance to perform fast, disk-based backups and expedited file
restores. More than seven years of vital accounting records then
are offloaded onto a NEO 2000 tape library for long-term archival
and complete HIPAA regulatory compliance. "In carrying out our
'Simply Protected Storage' vision, Overland continues to put
economical yet powerful tiered storage solutions within reach of
small- and medium-sized organizations," says Christopher Calisi,
president and CEO of Overland Storage. "Our ULTAMUS PRO 500, REO
SERIES and NEO SERIES work together seamlessly to help companies
like Physicians Accounting store vital data where it makes the most
sense, depending on availability, recoverability and compliance
requirements." With ULTAMUS PRO 500, Physicians Accounting has
realized a three-fold increase in storage read/write performance
while achieving both its Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs) and
Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) for applications requiring nearly
continuous data availability and near-instantaneous recovery from
data loss or corruption. Additionally, disk-based backups now are
four times faster with the REO 1000 while overall administrative
overhead has been lowered by more than 40 percent with the combined
Overland primary storage, disk backup and tape archival solution.
"With Overland, we now have multiple points of recovery to achieve
the perfect balance between protection, performance and total cost
of ownership," adds Mowbray. In the future, a second ULTAMUS PRO
will be installed at the firm's disaster recovery site to support
remote data replication for complete business continuity. ULTAMUS
PRO 500, formerly known as ULTAMUS I, includes a storage processor,
RAID protected storage array with redundant core components,
built-in Protection OS software and up to 32 TB of raw storage
capacity. The ULTAMUS PRO 500 delivers greater storage management
simplicity, lowered TCO and enhanced replication performance. The
product is available from Overland partners worldwide at a starting
MSRP of $34,994. About Overland Storage Now in its 25th year,
