For SkyWest, continuous business growth created a rapid rise in data protection requirements, which led to a thorough investigation of different technologies before selecting Overland's best-of-class D2D2T solutions. In improving storage reliability and data recovery, SkyWest deployed a complementary REO SERIES 9000 disk-based backup and recovery VTL appliance and a NEO SERIES 2000 mid-range tape library. The airline takes advantage of REO's flexible VTL configuration in conjunction with the expandable NEO tape library to reduce backup times and administrative overhead by more than 80 percent.
According to Michael Kerman, vice president and chief strategy officer of Overland Storage, SkyWest Airlines epitomizes data protection excellence because the company is committed to investing in leading-edge technologies that help safeguard crucial data. "We are thrilled to be recognized by the Data Protection Summit for our role in SkyWest's acclaimed D2D2T solution," he says. "Overland applauds this fast-growing airline for its ongoing focus on data protection best practices."
The Data Protection Summit, which is being held this week in Irvine, Calif., has assembled industry leaders to discuss the most effective technologies and methodologies for protecting data, taking into consideration cost, business value, restoration time and effort as well as use of critical computing resources. "The Data Protection Summit Innovation Award for End-User Solution recognizes a premier company whose products and services truly made a difference for a specific customer environment," said Jay Kramer, chairperson of the Data Protection Summit's awards committee. "Overland Storage deserves recognition for truly making a difference in the data protection strategy of SkyWest Airlines with an impressive D2D2T solution."
As part of the Data Protection Summit program, Michael Kerman is sharing highlights of the SkyWest Airlines' D2D2T deployment during a presentation entitled "Best Practices for Highly Effective Disk-Based Backup and Recovery." This presentation is part of a special open tutorial, "Developing a Data Protection Plan for Your Organization," that takes place on Thursday, March 15th from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m.
