LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 8, 2012--
Overland
Storage (NASDAQ:OVRL), the trusted global provider of effortless
data management and data
protection solutions across the data
lifecycle, today announced that it has installed two SnapServer
network attached storage (NAS) systems at assona GmbH. The SnapServer
solution from Overland has significantly improved the German Insurance
company’s backup and disaster recovery strategy.
assona’s business generates a large number of files, from scanned
contracts and insurance policies through to customer claim forms. These
files were being stored locally on a Linux server before being backed up
to another device based in a data centre in Frankfurt. This proved to be
time consuming, hard to manage and difficult to recover data from the
remote location.
After researching its options, assona chose two Overland Storage
SnapServers. The NAS appliance offers a high performance, scalable
platform for storing file and block data that is simple to deploy and
manage. With the ability to scale to hundreds of terabytes, the
SnapServers have resolved assona’s scalability requirements. The
insurance company can now replicate data from its primary onsite systems
to the second offsite system, which acts as a remote backup, on a daily
basis. This ensures critical data will be recoverable in the event of a
disaster or network failure.
Thomas Ettrich, director of system operations at assona, explains: “The
benefits of choosing the SnapServer to replace our Linux-based system
include its intuitive browser based interface that simplifies
administration and access and its ability to take snapshots which
reduces the time and space required for backups and replication. This
has significantly cut our recovery time to as little as two hours. We
are very happy with the SnapServer. It’s easy to use, we have cut costs
and with a current capacity of 8TB, there is plenty of room for the
company to expand quickly and easily.”
Andy Walsky, VP EMEA Sales, Overland Storage, concluded:” Overland
continues to be completely focused on listening to and addressing the
specific storage needs of our customers. We are delighted to offer
enterprise class storage solutions that can quickly and easily be
deployed within existing environments for instant scalability,
reliability and significant cost savings.”
