Industry-Leading Performance SAN DIEGO, June 25
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Overland Storage, Inc. (NASDAQ:OVRL)
today announced the ULTAMUS(TM) RAID 4800, the newest model in its
ULTAMUS family of general-purpose storage arrays with
industry-leading capacity, density and performance. The ULTAMUS
RAID 4800 is designed to address escalating capacity requirements
while minimizing infrastructure and management complexity. The
product is ideally suited for managing data growth as a result of
increased storage consolidation, server virtualization, regulatory
compliance, digital content creation and application file
expansion. Overland's ULTAMUS RAID 4800 employs the latest in
high-speed storage architectures, enterprise SATA drive
technologies and expansion-on-demand capabilities. ULTAMUS RAID
4800 provides up to 36 TBs of data in a single 4U rack enclosure
with 48 Enterprise SATA II drives. The product's
expansion-on-demand feature supports seamless scaling up to 72 TBs
in 8U of rack space without any performance degradation or
downtime. In addition to industry-leading capacity and space
efficiency, the ULTAMUS RAID 4800 delivers high performance levels
along with a wide assortment of advanced functionality, including:
-- Dual 4 Gb/s Fibre Channel host connectivity; -- 3 Gb/s
point-to-point SAS architecture; -- Dual active/active RAID
controllers; -- Fully redundant critical components, including
controllers, cooling systems and power supplies; -- Support for
RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 6; -- Broad OS and application
support including Windows, Linux and VMware; -- Web-based
management console operates as a "manager of managers" by
consolidating control and monitoring of multiple enclosures from a
single window; and -- Intuitive LUN mapping and extensive remote
notification capabilities. According to Michael Kerman, vice
president of worldwide marketing and chief strategy officer for
Overland Storage, the ULTAMUS RAID 4800 enables IT managers to keep
pace with the inevitable growth of application data while meeting
ever-increasing storage capacity requirements. "ULTAMUS RAID 4800
provides the right balance of capacity, scalability, performance
and availability -- all at a much more affordable price than
competing solutions," he says. "Moreover, this new addition to the
ULTAMUS RAID line-up blends seamlessly with Overland's REO(TM)
disk-based VTL appliance as well as NEO(TM) and ARCvault(TM) tape
libraries to provide additional layers of tiered data protection."
According to Enterprise Strategy Group, secondary storage is one of
the fastest growing areas for a number of applications, including
business-critical applications, long-term digital archives,
disk-to-disk backup, near-line, etc. "That is the area of the
market that Overland is focusing on with its ULTAMUS RAID 4800
solution," says Tony Asaro, senior analyst. "It offers such a great
price and performance story, especially for a storage system that
supports dual active-active controllers, FC connectivity,
high-performance SAS architecture and RAID 6 support. End users
really need to pay attention to this system." For Dallas Digital
Services, a Colleyville, Tex.-based value-added reseller and
service provider of enterprise-level, mission-critical storage
solutions, Overland's ULTAMUS RAID 4800 is a great fit for existing
storage virtualization environments where companies are seeking
additional, affordable capacity in order to better leverage
intelligent virtualization features such as snapshots, replication
and data migration. "When combined with storage virtualization
offerings, Overland's new disk array provides the best of both
worlds," explains Rick Essex, director of enterprise storage at
Dallas Digital Services. "ULTAMUS RAID 4800 delivers the
performance and availability required in an affordable array that
costs substantially less in initial purchase and ongoing support
than traditional disk products from tier-one vendors." ULTAMUS RAID
seamlessly integrates with Overland's REO, NEO and ARCvault backup
and recovery appliances, enabling storage buyers to match the value
of their data with the cost of their storage solutions using a
combination of cost-effective yet powerful disk and tape solutions.
Overland's ULTAMUS RAID 4800 joins the ULTAMUS RAID 1200, which
shipped earlier this year and houses up to 12 SATA II or SAS drives
and up to 9 TBs of storage capacity in each compact 2U
rack-mountable enclosure. Availability and Pricing Overland's
