"For a government agency, we selected a SnapScale scale-out solution from Overland Storage over other clustered NAS offerings due to its simplicity, scalability and strength of clustering functionality for distributed deployments," said Frank Scott, Sales Manager, Premier Systems Ltd. "It enabled our customer to consolidate data from several servers and individual workstations deployed on their campus to back up into a shared NAS storage repository. The distributed clustered architecture of RAINcloud OS kept the project within budget, by eliminating the need for any expensive clustering and data protection software that is typically added by competing offerings. I am confident that the SnapScale with RAINcloud OS solution will provide similar value to our other customers."

"Today's businesses are experiencing hyper-growth in their corporate data, which in turn dramatically increases the cost of managing their storage," said Nilesh Patel, Vice President of Product Management and Product Marketing at Overland Storage. "Recent innovations in density, high-performance data transfer rates, and end-to-end data management software make tape infrastructure an integral part of today's backup and long-term retention solutions. With six times better transfer rate performance and 64% more density per rack unit compared to the nearest competitors in its class, NEO XL establishes a new, unmatched watermark of value compared to any other competitive options in the industry."

AccuGuard Enterprise for RDX

Optimized for data protection and disaster recovery, the GuardianOS 7.6 software delivers limitless volumes with DynamicRAID, RDX removable disk storage backup support, and adds strong enterprise security integration and improved cross-platform file sharing. It allows users to mix and match hard drives of different capacities in the same storage array for uninterrupted storage growth. Self-provisioning storage pools allow multiple NAS volumes and iSCSI LUNs to share the same resources and data protection for simplified administration. This capability commonly found only in enterprise storage arrays, allows system administrators to maximize capacity utilization by enabling thin provisioning of logical storage without requiring the purchase of equivalent physical storage. It also helps with seamless scaling of storage resources in an unpredictable data growth environment among various pools of users.

The addition of V3 virtual desktop appliances expands the value proposition that Overland Storage's worldwide channel partners can offer to customers who want to overcome many of the management, complexity and performance weaknesses of physical desktops and traditional virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) solutions. The V3 Appliance is a hyper-converged infrastructure that integrates compute, storage and network interface, as well as the required hypervisor infrastructure and is managed by the Desktop Cloud Orchestrator management software. This becomes a single turn-key appliance solution that delivers high-availability failover architecture, eliminates performance bottlenecks and installation problems, and provides predictable scalability and cost for VDI deployments.

"We are pleased that we are able to settle the litigation and move forward as partners," said Eric Kelly, CEO of Overland. "We can now focus on growing our market position in the tape and automation segment in collaboration with BDT and provide even greater choice for our customers."
