Tape libraries with LTO-5 from 45TB to 3PB
NEO 8000
Double the Capacity with Investment Protection
With storage capacities ranging from 45 Terabytes to 3 Petabytes and data transfer rates as high as 24 Terabytes per hour, the NEO 2000E, NEO 4000E and NEO 8000 solutions provide nearly twice the performance and a 20% increase in data throughput compared to their LTO-4 based predecessors. Whether IT administrators are looking for new high capacity, high performance backup and archive solutions, or looking to upgrade existing NEO solutions already in place in their data centers, Overland's LTO-5 family can help leverage and extend their storage investment.
"Customers of all sizes can benefit from the high capacity, reliability and cost-effectiveness of tape solutions for disaster recovery and long-term archiving," said Robert Amatruda, research director, data protection and recovery, IDC. "Overland's introduction of LTO-5 drives in its NEO tape libraries provides customers with the latest innovation in tape for efficient archiving, recovery and storage consolidation."
NEO Upgrade and Save Program
As part of Overland's ongoing mission to provide customers with the best combination of capacity, performance and affordability, Overland just launched the NEO Upgrade and Save Program wherein current NEO customers can receive cash rebates of up to $12,000 by upgrading their legacy NEO tape drive technologies to newer, faster, higher capacity technologies, including the new LTO-5 solutions. Interested customers in the United States and Canada can contact their reseller or an Overland sales representative for more details. International customers can contact their local Overland sales representative for program validity in their region.

Pricing and Availability

Our comments :
It's strange to see Overland announcing the "immediate availability"
of libraries with LTO-5 on NEO 2000E (30/2 for base model), NEO 4000E (4/60) and NEO 8000 (12/100) based on existing libraries.
The company doesn't produce LTO drives and the
two manufacturers of these coming devices (HP and IBM) have not
announced up to now any LTO-5 unit. Their products are late but it
seems that the main reason today for the delay is the difficulty to get
LTO-5 media from companies supposed to produce them. Imation and Sony
announced they will enter in this tape format and Fujifilm,
Maxell and TDK could follow them.
