SAN DIEGO, Sept. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Overland Storage, Inc. (Nasdaq: OVRL), the leading provider of backup and recovery solutions trusted by Fortune 10,000 companies to ensure zero downtime, today announced that Denver Health selected Overland's active Storage Resource Management (SRM) software. Denver Health chose the heterogeneous storage resource management solution to maximize return on their existing storage investment.
Denver Health needed to determine their current storage consumption, quantify storage growth and proactively manage their storage needs. After just 30 days of use, Overland's SRM identified how Denver Health could reclaim 30 percent of their existing storage by eliminating duplicate, temporary and old files. Using Overland's SRM enables IT administrators to quantify and groom data, and therefore reclaim a significant portion of storage space.
"We are in the business of saving lives and a safety net to the not so fortunate," said David Boone, system project manager for Denver Health. "As a result, we collect and manage a significant amount of critical information on an enterprise level. We cannot afford to be surprised or unaware of what our storage growth may be."
"There are still hard times for a lot of companies, and our value proposition is to show companies results," said John Cloyd, vice president of Overland's storage management business unit. "Our SRM offering helps provide an accurate picture of the end user's environment and identify the inefficiencies. Our goal is to offer solutions that provide an immediate return on investment."
Overland's browser-based active SRM 3 supports Windows NT/2000, Novell Netware, Sun Solaris, AIX, HP-UX and Linux operating environments, and is fully compatible with all leading brands of server/storage products. Overland SRM is designed to help businesses reduce their cost of acquiring and managing their IT storage by providing tools that enable the development of automated storage management, invariably reducing cost.
