Overland NEO SERIES and ARCvault Receive Accolades for
Interoperability, Scalability, Manageability, Reliability and
Overall Product Quality SAN DIEGO, Jan. 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/
-- Overland Storage, Inc. (NASDAQ:OVRL) today announced that its
NEO SERIES(R) and ARCvault(TM) 24 tape libraries received top
ranking in the product features category of the second annual
Diogenes Labs-Storage magazine Quality Awards. The honors represent
the latest industry validation of Overland's mid-range family of
tape automation solutions, which are ideally suited for a wide
range of backup, recovery and archive applications. The 2006
Quality Awards surveyed 385 Storage magazine readers who
contributed more than 500 product evaluations in five main
categories, including product features, initial product quality,
product reliability, sales force competence and technical support.
Overland's NEO SERIES and ARCvault achieved the highest marks for
mid-range tape library product features, with survey respondents
commenting very favorably to a series of questions about system
interoperability, scalability, management features, user interface
and overall product design. Overland also obtained the highest
score for best product value among mid- range tape libraries,
earning NEO and ARCvault a second-place ranking in the initial
product quality category. This important segment of the survey also
posed a series of questions to assess how easy the various products
were to install, configure and operate. Overland earned a top-three
showing in the overall rankings, including the crucial "Would you
buy this product again?" category, which reinforces strong customer
satisfaction and loyalty. According to Michael Kerman, vice
president and chief strategy officer of Overland Storage, the
Diogenes Labs-Storage magazine Quality Awards are particularly
noteworthy because they represent end-user opinions and insight in
determining which storage products perform best in actual field
use. "Overland's top ranking in this latest industry survey of
mid-range tape libraries substantiates our continuing commitment to
giving our customers full-featured products at an outstanding value
while providing a simple growth path to meet both current and
emerging data protection needs," he said. A range of customer
implementations reinforce the many performance benefits of
Overland's NEO SERIES and ARCvault products, including; * American
Casino and Entertainment Properties: Subsidiary led by billionaire
financier Carl Icahn relies on Overland's NEO 8000 top-of- the-line
tape library to handle long-term backup and recovery needs that
doubled over an eight-month period while meeting SOX and Nevada
Gaming commission regulations. As a result, backups were reduced
from 20 to three hours while administering archivals takes
one-tenth of the time previously required. * San Jacinto College:
Texas school takes advantage of Overland's entry- level ARCvault
tape library at a remote disaster recovery site to backup to 12
times the capacity of a single drive at the same price while
leveraging disk-to-disk-to-tape (D2D2T) backup to protect 13 TBs of
data. * National Instruments: A leader in virtual instrumentation
consolidates backups on Overland's NEO 8000 to accelerate the
process and lower media costs. By combining the NEO with Overland's
REO disk-based appliance for D2D2T data protection, the company has
realized a 75 percent reduction in time and personnel costs. *
Physicians Accounting: Medical billing firm meets critical Recovery
Time Objectives/Recovery Point Objectives while lowering
administrative overhead by more than 40 percent by combining the
NEO 2000 and REO 1000 for fail-safe data protection. The NEO SERIES
