Capacity Than Competing Products While Simplifying Data Backup and
Tiered Data Protection SAN DIEGO, Storage Networking World, Booth
#G16, April 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Overland Storage, Inc.
(NASDAQ:OVRL), a leading provider of tape- and disk-based backup
and recovery solutions, has announced ARCvault(TM) 48, the latest
addition to its ARCvault family of highly affordable tape
automation solutions that maximize capacity while minimizing the
use of costly rack space. Designed for mid-range backup, recovery
and archive applications, ARCvault 48 supports up to 38 TBs of
storage in a compact 4u form factor-delivering up to 25 percent
more capacity at a lower price point than competing products.
ARCvault 48 is ideally suited for companies seeking high-capacity,
low-cost tape storage as a complement to current or planned
disk-based data protection or tiered storage solutions. The library
features 48 cartridge slots, up to four LTO-3 tape drives and
simplified SCSI and Fibre Channel connectivity. In addition, the
new ARCvault model also supports library partitioning, enabling use
of the library across multiple platforms and applications for
increased efficiencies and reduced cost of ownership. ARCvault 48
builds on the success of ARCvault 12 and ARCvault 24 tape
automation products, which continue to gain substantial market
traction since their introduction in July 2006. All ARCvault family
members share industry-leading capabilities that lower cost of
ownership and administrative overhead, including: * Touch-screen
front panel for user-friendly set-up and configuration; * Standard
remote management for increased operational efficiencies; *
Automatic Drive Interface (ADI) for simplified connectivity; *
Removable magazines and interchangeable tape drives across all
ARCvault models; * Standard bar code management for faster data
access; * Upgradeable capacity and performance for increased
investment protection. According to Michael Kerman, vice president
and chief strategy officer for Overland Storage, the capacity and
affordability of ARCvault 48 makes it an ideal solution for
organizations looking to reduce the cost and complexity of
achieving world-class data protection. "ARCvault 48 enables
customers to span capacity up to 38 TBs to meet ever-increasing
backup, recovery and archive needs," he says. "In addition, the
ARCvault family is a natural complement to Overland's ULTAMUS RAID
and REO product families, providing affordable, hassle-free data
protection across storage tiers." For Lonnie Phillips, engineering
infrastructure manager for the Information and Technologies Group
at ST Microelectronics, the fifth largest semiconductor company in
the world, ARCvault 48 is a compelling choice for meeting growing
data protection demands at small and mid-sized design centers
throughout North America. Additionally, the product's small form
factor makes it an excellent candidate for accommodating rapid
technology deployments involving joint projects on customer
premises where space is a premium. "We are quite impressed that
ARCvault 48 packs so much capacity into a compact 4u form factor
that can scale easily to support four tape drives," he says. "The
price for the amount of capacity provided is unbeatable and
value-added features, including Overland's patented mailslot
design, remote management and library partitioning give us greater
functionality without sacrificing ease of use." In particular,
Phillips anticipates that partitioning support will yield
substantial cost and administrative savings by enabling the company
to allocate its library investment across multiple applications and
departments. "Customers continue to look for high-capacity,
low-cost tape libraries to safeguard their growing data-storage
requirements" said Robert Amatruda, research director, tape and
removable storage, for IDC. "Overland's ARCvault family of tape
libraries is an attractive choice, especially with the ability to
integrate with its REO disk-based solutions that enable better
backup and restore performance." Availability and Pricing ARCvault
48 is now available from Overland partners worldwide for a starting
MSRP of $13,500. About Overland Storage Now in its 26th year,
