Largest Regional Airline Deploys REO Disk-Based Backup and Recovery
VTL and NEO Tape Library to Reduce Backup Times and Administrative
Overhead by 80 Percent SAN DIEGO, March 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/
-- Overland Storage, Inc. (NASDAQ:OVRL) today announced it has
received a "Best of Show" award for Most Innovative End-User
Solution at the 2007 Data Protection Summit, the nation's only
conference dedicated entirely to keeping data safe, secure and
private. SkyWest Airlines, the nation's largest regional carrier,
was recognized for its highly effective and innovative
disk-to-disk-to-tape (D2D2T) deployment of Overland's REO and NEO
disk- and tape-based appliances. For SkyWest, continuous business
growth created a rapid rise in data protection requirements, which
led to a thorough investigation of different technologies before
selecting Overland's best-of-class D2D2T solutions. In improving
storage reliability and data recovery, SkyWest deployed a
complementary REO SERIES 9000 disk-based backup and recovery VTL
appliance and a NEO SERIES 2000 mid-range tape library. The airline
takes advantage of REO's flexible VTL configuration in conjunction
with the expandable NEO tape library to reduce backup times and
administrative overhead by more than 80 percent. According to
Michael Kerman, vice president and chief strategy officer of
Overland Storage, SkyWest Airlines epitomizes data protection
excellence because the company is committed to investing in
leading-edge technologies that help safeguard crucial data. "We are
thrilled to be recognized by the Data Protection Summit for our
role in SkyWest's acclaimed D2D2T solution," he says. "Overland
applauds this fast-growing airline for its ongoing focus on data
protection best practices." The Data Protection Summit, which is
being held this week in Irvine, Calif., has assembled industry
leaders to discuss the most effective technologies and
methodologies for protecting data, taking into consideration cost,
business value, restoration time and effort as well as use of
critical computing resources. "The Data Protection Summit
Innovation Award for End-User Solution recognizes a premier company
whose products and services truly made a difference for a specific
customer environment," said Jay Kramer, chairperson of the Data
Protection Summit's awards committee. "Overland Storage deserves
recognition for truly making a difference in the data protection
strategy of SkyWest Airlines with an impressive D2D2T solution." As
part of the Data Protection Summit program, Michael Kerman is
sharing highlights of the SkyWest Airlines' D2D2T deployment during
a presentation entitled "Best Practices for Highly Effective
Disk-Based Backup and Recovery." This presentation is part of a
special open tutorial, "Developing a Data Protection Plan for Your
Organization," that takes place on Thursday, March 15th from 2:00
