Besides its people, a company’s data is one of its most critical assets. Keeping that 
data stored, accessible and secure has become complex and expensive as companies 
are faced with massive data growth, increasingly stringent regulatory requirements 
and distributed environments that can range from across-the-hall to across-the-globe. 
Overland Storage
®
 recognizes the need for businesses to do more—with less, and 
offers effortless data management and protection solutions. Overland Storage
®
  REO 
4600 emulates multiple tape libraries over a Fibre Channel or iSCSI interface and 
seamlessly integrates with the existing backup infrastructure to enable cost-efficient 
long term retention on disk and more reliable, high-speed recoveries of backup data.  
Proven Data Protection
Unlike tape solutions and other disk-based back up systems, only the REO SERIES
®
  includes REO 
ProtectionOS
 software, which embeds data protection intelligence.  When configured as virtual tape, 
backup data is written sequentially and in large blocks, which results in greater backup performance.  
Easy to Set up and Manage
REO 4600 appliance is compatible with all popular open systems and Windows-based backup software, 
physical tape drives and libraries and easily connect to existing Ethernet (iSCSI) and Fibre Channel 
networks for seamless  integration without changes to existing backup processes.  An intuitive and robust 
browser-based graphical user interface makes REO easy to configure and manage. Users can proactively 
monitor REO appliances and receive e-mail alerts for instant notification of status changes.
Flexible Connectivity 
Every REO SERIES system includes our patent-pending Dynamic Virtual Tape
 (DVT) technology, which 
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 contract to match  the exact capacity requirements of the backup 
operation.

Hardware Compression Option:
The hardware compression option 
effectively doubles the useable 
virtual tape capacity of the REO 
4600 and connected expansion 
arrays, making it the most cost 
effective way to store more backup 
data on disk. The combination of 
hardware compression and Dynamic 
Virtual Tape ensure REO is the  
most efficient and cost effective  
VTL available.
