Overland Data, Inc. (Nasdaq: OVRL), the fastest growing provider of enterprise and mid-range storage solutions, today launched the industry's first family of fully open storage management software solutions, giving small-to-large-sized enterprises immediate access to open storage management tools that previously have been unavailable from a single source."We designed our family of open storage management solutions to significantly reduce our customers' soaring storage management costs," said Christopher Calisi, president and CEO of Overland Data. "Our solutions allow customers to very quickly increase utilization of current storage devices and effectively manage heterogeneous storage devices through state of the art policy-based enforcement of company standards. The family of solutions also accurately plans storage environments and ensures quality of service across the fabric in any SAN environment through a visual-based SAN management console."
Overland's storage management family of products will initially consist of three standalone packaged software solutions, the first of which is already available. The products being delivered from Overland's new Software Management Business Unit include:
-- Overland Storage Resource Manager (SRM) provides users with the most
open and intelligent tools to easily detect network storage problems,
take corrective action and adjust storage resources in a matter of

equipment and infrastructure to rationalize, redeploy, upgrade or
design a storage area network (SAN) to meet performance and equipment
requirements.
