With 5 mail-slots and 32 media slots, starting at $11,200, up to 960TB in base module

Overland-Tandberg, a brand of Sphere 3D Corp. announced the availability of its NEOxl 40 tape automation library which meets the form factor requirements for smaller video production facilities, while providing increased capacity, performance and the ability to grow at scale.


It integrates with the high-capacity, flexible, archive product, NEO Agility LTFS solution, and simplifies the digital media archive workflow at a fraction of the cost of traditional disk storage solutions.

The report also highlights over the last five years there’s been an 8x increase in the amount of content being generated per every two-hour cinematic piece. As an example, the Avatar Motion Picture used 1PB of storage, with average film archives requiring at least 250TB of storage.

The NEOxl 40 satisfies the demand for cost effective long-term archive storage, at a cost of <$.01/GB. This represents over 80% savings compared to disk-based and cloud-based archive solutions. The solution also scales in both capacity and performance to accommodate changing data archive needs. Also, when used with the NEO Agility LTFS solution, NEOxl 40 provides media and entertainment users with high-speed access of up to nearly 1PB of content.

The Overland-Tandberg solution is easy-to-use and affordable and can quite readily handle massive amounts of video content associated with long-term archive with the speed and reliability we need to run our organization efficiently.” said Mike Winkelmann, owner, CineSys-Oceana.
