• Up to 114 TB usable Virtual Tape capacity via optional expansion arrays

Fast, flexible, and scalable disk-based backup and recovery appliance.

Whether you want to simply add disk to your backup strategy, increase the speed of backup and recovery, or reduce your reliance on tape, the Overland REO Disk-Based Backup and Recovery Appliance with Protection OST is the right solution. REO Protection OST embeds data protection intelligence and delivers a core set of volume and device virtualization, management and connectivity features. It also allows the REO to be easily enhanced via current and future software PAC options (e.g. Overland REO Multi-SitePAC).

The REO can be easily configured as virtual tape libraries and/or any mix of standalone virtual tape drives or disk volumes (LUNs) for maximum flexibility. And the patent-pending Dynamic Virtual Tape (DVT) ensures that no storage capacity is wasted while eliminating the manual effort and guesswork of sizing, configuring, provisioning, and deleting virtual tape cartridges. With DVT, users can create virtual tape cartridges that automatically expand or shrink as needed to match the exact capacity requirements of the backup operation.

The REO is easy to implement and manage too. It’s compatible with all popular open systems or Windows-based backup software, physical tape drives or libraries and easily connects to Ethernet (iSCSI) or Fibre Channel networks for seamless integration into existing backup environments. And the easy to use browser based interface, proactive monitoring, and remote management capabilities make REO a breeze to manage.

Features and Benefits

Flexible Functionality—easily configured as a virtual tape library, dynamic virtual tape drives, and/or disk volumes (LUNs).

Performance—when configured as virtual tape, data is written sequentially and in large blocks for fast, reliable backup. Utilizes direct access disk technology for nearly instantaneous data recovery.

Easy Integration—compatible with all popular open systems and Windows-based backup software, physical tape drives or libraries and easily connects to Ethernet (iSCSI) and Fibre Channel networks.

REO Protection OS—software embedded in all REO SERIES appliances. Provides data protection intelligence including virtualization, management, and connectivity. Also enables enhanced features via add-on software PACs (e.g. REO Multi-SitePAC).

Dynamic Virtual Tape—virtual tape cartridges are automatically sized to match backup job so no capacity is wasted. Eliminates manual effort and guesswork of sizing, configuring, and provisioning virtual cartridges.

Easy to Setup and Manage—robust web-based interface provides simple step-by-step setup and proactive monitoring. Integrating disk into your backup strategy has never been easier!
