modular SAN solution
that delivers highly available

by connecting up to four
SnapDisk E1000storage
expansion units.
Featuring a

fully redundant, hot pluggable components for all major functions including RAID
controllers, power supplies, fan modules, battery backup modules, and SAS JBOD
expansion ports. With online capacity expansion, read/write snapshots, auto
drive spin down, zero-downtime upgrades, as well as superior throughput and
IOPS, the S1000 delivers best-in-class performance making it an ideal storage
platform for cloud storage, SQL, Microsoft Exchange, file backup, and email

“Companies today are using a
broad spectrum of applications to run their critical business systems, so a
one-size-fits-all approach to data storage is not ideal for any business.
Overland’s customizable SnapSAN S1000 solution enables businesses to deploy a
system that matches their storage requirements today, while providing the
ability to grow and change as their businesses do,” said Benjamin Woo, program
vice president, worldwide storage systems, IDC.
