Industry-Leading Performance, Capacity and Configuration
Flexibility Facilitates Faster Backups and Restores while
Increasing Disk-Based Data Retention SAN DIEGO, Oct. 22
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Overland Storage, Inc. (NASDAQ:OVRL)
today introduced the REO(R) 9100c, which adds hardware compression
to the high-end model of the REO SERIES family of versatile,
disk-based backup, recovery and virtual tape library (VTL)
appliances. The new product delivers superior data backup, recovery
and retention capabilities by doubling the amount of data that can
be stored on the REO 9100 and connected expansion arrays. The REO
9100c leverages the proven design of the REO family to provide
flexible functionality when configured as a VTL, standalone virtual
tape drives and/or disk volumes (LUNs). The combination of hardware
compression with Overland's patent-pending Dynamic Virtual Tape(TM)
(DVT) technology, which lets users create virtual tape cartridges
that automatically expand or shrink to match capacity requirements,
yields unprecedented VTL efficiencies and cost savings. More
economical retention of data on disk conserves valuable power and
rack space while also lowering administrative overhead. In addition
to hardware compression, the REO 9100c takes advantage of the
advanced features and functionality on the 9100 platform,
including: -- Up to 66 TBs of raw data capacity, which can be
compressed to 114 TBs of usable virtual tape capacity; --
User-definable VTL with up to 32 virtual tape drives, 512 virtual
cartridges and six library partitions; -- Dual next-generation SATA
RAID controllers; -- Multiple 4 Gb/second Fibre Channel or iSCSI
host connectivity; -- RAID 5 protection; -- Near-instantaneous data
recovery using direct access disk technology; and -- Robust,
web-based set-up and proactive monitoring. "The REO 9100c is
ideally suited for companies seeking an affordable and reliable
solution for improving backup performance and reliability,
expediting data recovery as well as increasing disk-based data
retention," says Jeff Graham, senior product manager of Overland's
REO SERIES. "When configured with Overland's unique DVT technology,
the 9100c significantly lowers management time and overall costs as
users can set the configuration once and remain confident that it's
optimized for capacity use, eliminating the need to reconfigure the
REO as their backup jobs grow or shrink." According to Heidi
Biggar, analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group, a recent survey found
that 64 percent of respondents either have deployed or are
intending to implement VTL solutions over the next 12 to 24 months.
"More and more end users are turning to VTL for its backup
performance, scalability, and ease of use and away from tape and
the media management and associated costs that go along with that
type of data protection infrastructure," she says. "By integrating
hardware compression into its REO 9100 platform, Overland allows
users to back up more data to the same amount of physical disk
capacity." Availability and Pricing Overland's REO 9100c now is
available from Overland partners worldwide for a starting MSRP of
$63,343. About Overland Storage Now in its 27th year, Overland
