About the NEO S-Series Family

Automated tape libraries offer effortless backup and archive capabilities

In a world where the amount of corporate data generated doubles every 18 months and companies are legally bound to store the data longterm, IT managers are forced with the challenge of how to backup and archive data more efficiently and more affordably. Enter Overland Storage – where we recognize the need for your business to do more with less, and help address your small-to-medium sized business storage needs with the NEOs family of tape library solutions. Designed for IT offices with limited space, limited resources and limited budgets, the NEOs family delivers the ultimate in simple, affordable, reliable backup, archive and disaster recovery.

In a study conducted by the University of California Santa Cruz, it was determined that 90% of data stored on disk was never accessed again and that another 6.5% of the data was only accessed once. Because disk is an expensive place to store massive amounts of infrequently accessed data, best practices recommend archiving data off to tape, usually within a 30 day period after the data has been created. Moving the data to a NEO S-Series library reduces backup storage requirements, reduces costs, improves use of valuable floor space, improves energy efficiency, provides a higher level of data security and improves performance of networks and disk-based backup systems. NEO S-Series tape libraries provide the capacities, features and efficiencies needed for archived data.
