The SnapServer XSD 40, powered by Overland Storage's new GuardianOS 7.6 software, is the simplest and most versatile NAS and iSCSI SAN storage available for today's business needs—from virtualized server and Microsoft Exchange environments, to backup and storage consolidation. Including BitTorrent Sync integration, data stored on the SnapServer XSD 40 can be accessed from anywhere and can easily support collaboration across global or remote offices. Additionally, the built-in inclusion of print server functionality in GuardianOS 7.6 alleviates the need to purchase separate print server licenses, and further reduces IT software costs.
Optimized for data protection and disaster recovery, the GuardianOS 7.6 software delivers limitless volumes with DynamicRAID, RDX removable disk storage backup support, and adds strong enterprise security integration and improved cross-platform file sharing. It allows users to mix and match hard drives of different capacities in the same storage array for uninterrupted storage growth. Self-provisioning storage pools allow multiple NAS volumes and iSCSI LUNs to share the same resources and data protection for simplified administration. This capability commonly found only in enterprise storage arrays, allows system administrators to maximize capacity utilization by enabling thin provisioning of logical storage without requiring the purchase of equivalent physical storage. It also helps with seamless scaling of storage resources in an unpredictable data growth environment among various pools of users.
RDX Removable Disk Storage Backup Integration with Overland SnapServer
Overland Storage provides SMB and SME customers with an affordable integrated solution for backup and data exchange by integrating the SnapServer XSD 40 with RDX disk-based removable disk media. By simply connecting RDX QuikStor® to the SnapServer via a built-in USB port, the RDX storage system is automatically detected as a backup device. The combined solution of RDX and SnapServer allows administrators to selectively copy data from disk to RDX and store backup data offsite as part of their disaster recovery plans. Fully integrated in the new GuardianOS 7.6, administrators can format attached RDX media directly with XFS or NTFS options to optimize data for client compatibility and file restores.
