SAN DIEGO – Overland Storage, Inc. (Nasdaq: OVRL) today announced that esteemed customer, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Annex NYC, has received a prestigious IDG InfoWorld 100 award for its high-availability video surveillance solution featuring Overland’s scalable SnapServer® 620 network-attached storage (NAS). Each year, the InfoWorld 100 Awards celebrate 100 IT organizations that have implemented and integrated technologies in innovative ways in pursuit of concrete business goals.

 

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Annex NYC is an experiential, technologically advanced exhibition that focuses on the greatest moments in rock history. As an adjunct location to the Cleveland-based Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, the New York venue features state-of-the-art galleries with special lighting and sound to simulate a rock concert experience. To protect priceless pieces of music history, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Annex NYC invested in a leading-edge video surveillance solution featuring 48 high-resolution IP network cameras from Mobotix Vision Systems integrated with Overland’s scalable, high-performance SnapServer NAS.

 

“This year’s recipients of the InfoWorld’s highest honor are shining examples of IT projects undertaken by tech leaders committed to pushing their organizations forward,” said Jason Snyder, features editor, Infoworld.

 

According to David Waggett, general manager of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Annex NYC, the unified security and storage solution ensures the highest levels of safety for visitors as well as an extra measure of protection for irreplaceable artifacts. “We are extremely pleased to be recognized by InfoWorld for our efforts to preserve valuable pieces of rock & roll history,” he said. “Security was of paramount importance, so we partnered with Overland Storage and Mobotix to deploy a state-of-the-art video surveillance solution that monitors activity throughout our 25,000 square-foot facility while retaining data-intensive video footage for up to a month.”

Ideally suited for this particular application, the SnapServer’s small footprint combined with outstanding scalability and ease of use deliver exceptional storage capacity. The dual-core processor can be configured with four enterprise-class SATA II drives and up to 88 TBs to increase storage capacity as well as retain video footage for longer periods of time. SnapServer also comes embedded with GuardianOS™ 5.2 software, which includes heightened RAID 6 and 10 data protection, access security, improved heterogeneous file sharing and streamlined management.

 

“Overland Storage applauds the efforts of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Annex NYC to achieve unparalleled site security by deploying a best-of-class video surveillance solution featuring our SnapServer NAS solution,,” said Jillian Mansolf, vice president of worldwide sales and marketing for Overland Storage, Inc. “We’re extremely pleased that Overland was able to play such an important part in this award-winning project, which stands out as an excellent, real-world example of technology innovation.”
