Overland Storage, Inc. (NASDAQ: OVRL), a leading provider of tape- and disk-based backup and recovery solutions, has shipped more than 1,500 ARCvault SERIES™ tape libraries and autoloaders to cost effectively and easily backup and archive large amounts of data. Ideally suited for small or medium-sized businesses as well as remote offices of larger organizations, the ARCvault family combines high-capacity, affordable storage with unsurpassed simplicity to reduce overall data protection costs and complexities.

Introduced in July, the ARCvault 12 autoloader and ARCvault 24 rack-optimized tape library are gaining substantial market traction where capacity, simplicity and affordability are key. The series provides up to 19.2 TB of storage—50 percent more capacity at up to 30 percent lower cost per gigabyte than competing products. Additionally, the ARCvault series supports industry-leading features often found in higher-end and more expensive tape libraries, including touch-screen, front-panel configuration; web-based remote management; automated backup and archival; removable cartridge magazines and barcode support for enhanced media management.

ARCvault integrates seamlessly into existing backup environments and can be easily deployed as part of a disk-to-disk-to-tape (D2D2T) solution. Many SMBs are looking for more comprehensive data protection including both disk and tape but have found the combined solutions too costly to implement. Overland’s ARCvault, however, removes price and performance barriers, enabling IT managers to deploy a tiered storage approach for optimum data protection. The combination of ARCvault with Overland’s REO SERIES™ disk-based VTL backup and recovery appliance gives organizations of all sizes a highly effective D2D2T strategy.
