Additions to Award-Winning NEO Family Offer Easy, Affordable and
Reliable Data Backup, Recovery and Archive SAN DIEGO, Oct. 13
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Overland Storage, Inc. (NASDAQ:OVRL)
today announced the availability of the new NEO®s family of
automated tape libraries, which provide simple and affordable
backup, disaster recovery and archive capabilities. Ideally suited
for SMEs and distributed network environments, the NEOs family of
tape libraries leverages the reliability, serviceability and data
availability of Overland's award-winning NEO® Series of tape backup
and archive solutions. NEOs Family of Automated Tape Libraries The
NEOs line includes the NEO 200s, a compact 2u model that provides
up to 38.4 TB of capacity and the NEO 400s, an expandable library
that packs up to 76.8 TB of capacity in a 4u form factor to
maximize capacity while minimizing costly rack space. The new
family takes advantage of standard NEO family features that have
become the hallmark for simplified installation and ongoing
operation, including: -- Web-based remote management and
diagnostics; -- Removable cartridge magazines that expedite access
to data while reducing media handling costs; -- An integrated
barcode reader to facilitate fast media tracking; and --
User-configurable mail slots for easy, secure access to individual
tape cartridges; -- Expandability for increased capacity as data
storage needs change; and -- Encryption to ensure data
confidentiality and compliance. "The NEO brand is synonymous with
quality and is well respected for its rock-solid reliability,
technological innovation and superior investment protection," says
Peri Grover, director of tape automation products at Overland
Storage. "The new NEOs complement and broaden the rest of the NEO
family platform while also leveraging our proven product
architecture to give SMEs world-class functionality in a highly
affordable, compact tape automation solution that meets a vast
array of backup and archive requirements." The NEOs libraries
utilize industry-leading HP LTO3 and LTO4 tape drives that can be
easily removed, replaced and upgraded as needed. Connectivity
flexibility is provided through SCSI, Fibre Channel and SAS
configuration options. Additionally, the NEO 400s provides
redundant power as well as partitioning to provide optimum library
utilization. In the first calendar quarter of 2010, Overland plans
to offer expandability and encryption options for the NEO 400s. The
expandability feature will enable end-users to combine the library
with other NEOs models that appear to the host as a single library.
Furthermore, the encryption capability will ensure the privacy,
confidentiality and integrity of business-critical data while
meeting compliance requirements. Tape Automation Market According
to IDC, the worldwide mid-range tape automation market is expected
to exceed $1 billion in annual sales this year, with more than
101,000 units projected to ship by the end of 2009. "Mid-range tape
libraries remain important and cost-effective backup, disaster
recovery and long-term archiving solutions for small and
medium-sized businesses that are consolidating their IT
environments," said Richard Villars, vice president of storage and
IT executive strategies at IDC. "Solutions like Overland's new NEO
mid-range tape libraries will help SMEs better protect their IT
investments while overcoming space, resource and budget
limitations." Pricing and Availability Overland's NEO 200s comes in
two models: a one-drive,12-cartridge autoloader and a one- or
two-drive, 24-cartridge library. The NEO 400s is available with up
to four tape drives and up to 48 cartridges. The NEOs family is

MSRP of $3,995. About Overland Storage Overland Storage provides
