The SnapSAN 3000 and SnapSAN 5000, scalable to a whopping 288TB of capacity, are fully redundant systems with enterprise-level high-availability attributes, Overland said.
Overland Storage, the San
Diego-based company that has reinvented itself over the last four years to
remain relevant in the midrange and small- and midsize-business storage markets,
on July 11 launched two additions to its popular SnapSAN high-performance
storage line.
The SnapSAN 3000 and SnapSAN 5000,
scalable to a whopping 288 terabytes of capacity, are fully redundant systems
with enterprise-level high-availability attributes, Overland said.
Key new features include:
-
Multidimensional tiers that maintain optimal performance and provisioning
without IT intervention.
-
Enterprise-class data protection without the high incremental costs usually associated
with such capabilities; both products come standard with real-time replication,
volume cloning, snapshots and thin provisioning.
-
Certified for Citrix, Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware, the SnapSAN 3000 and SnapSAN 5000 also have built-in
VMware API support, as well as a vCenter plug-in for seamlessly integrated
administration.
-
Ideally suited for I/O-intensive applications, virtualized and private cloud environments, as well
as regulatory compliance, the new SnapSANs enable administrators to
quickly provision storage to easily meet application-driven and compliance
requirements.
The SnapSAN 5000 also features
increased I/O performance and advanced automation, such as AutoCache
(with up to 800GB of additional solid-state device (SSD) cache memory),
AutoTune, AutoTier and compliance WORM (write once, read many), the company
said.
SnapSAN 3000 and SnapSAN 5000 are
available immediately with a starting price of $13,999 through Overland
Storage's worldwide sales channel, Overland said.
Overland suffered serious financial
challenges a few years ago but remade its brand with new administrative
leadership and has quietly earned back some market share in recent months.
