Network Attached Storage has fulfi lled many of the traditional IT needs by providing affordable data retention with simple management, and 
compatibility across multiple platforms. With the convenience and simplicity of Network Attached Storage it is diffi cult to imagine a business 
environment today that is not utilizing NAS, however with the explosion of data and the importance of compliance and uptime; traditional scale-up 
NAS solutions are quickly reaching limits of capacity, redundancy and performance within dynamic IT storage environments.
The SnapScale X2 from Overland Storage is a clustered NAS solution that solves the problems of traditional storage by enabling organizations with 
rapid or unpredictable data growth to scale capacity and performance infi nitely without adding management complexity. Built on Overland Storage 
RAINcloud™ OS technology, SnapScale eliminates islands of storage, enabling easy and affordable scaling without having to predict capacity in 
advance. Offering user selectable levels of data redundancy, SnapScale™ writes data across multiple nodes and drives simultaneously for instant 
protection and high availability. The SnapScale hardware architecture and “single pane of glass” management creates a consistent user experience 
while both managing the existing global namespace and scaling storage as needed, without additional layers of administration.
While the benefi ts of SnapScale may be clearly evident for large businesses with petabytes of storage, implementing scalable fi le serving can be just as 
important for businesses much earlier in their lifecycle that have yet to encounter serious scaling limitations. By investing in the SnapScale architecture 
up front, smaller organizations can assure that their fi le serving infrastructure will grow to meet future needs painlessly and cost-effectively, regardless of 
how rapidly performance and capacity requirements increase over time.
Infi nite Scalability
Let SnapScale grow with your data. Scale storage by populating available drive-bays within individual 
nodes, or add additional nodes to increase capacity and improve performance by spreading the workload 
across the cluster. SnapScale will add any additional capacity from new nodes or drives automatically, 
ensuring proper confi guration and load balancing for optimal performance. SnapScale also provides an 
intuitive, browser-based interface to manage an entire cluster from a single pane of glass, regardless of 
capacity. There are no limits to the number of nodes or drives in a SnapScale cluster, allowing growth 
without boundaries, all while remaining online with superior data protection. 
Global Namespace
Reduce the amount of infrastructure required, and prevent islands of storage from forming on your 
network by consolidating fi le storage with SnapScale. Whether managing small amounts of storage 
or petabytes of storage, the management of the SnapScale global namespace remains a simple and 
consistent experience. Increase the size of your SnapScale global namespace as needed, saving 
time and reducing capital costs by preventing the over purchasing of storage capacity. Create storage 
volumes without limits in the global namespace to eliminate the need for manual provisioning, or manually 
control volume usage by creating adjustable quotas for different network applications or departments.
High Performance
Traditional storage is limited in performance by the fi xed amount of network bandwidth in the single head unit 
architecture, which leads to congestion and throughput bottlenecks as user base grows. With SnapScale, 
network bottlenecks are no longer a problem, because adding new nodes not only increases the usable 
storage in the global namespace, but increases aggregate performance across the network by balancing 
user connections and spreading data out across the cluster. All types of fi les benefi t from performance 
improvements as bandwidth, fi le I/O, processing power and capacity expand with each node. Simply add 
additional SnapScale nodes as needed to an existing cluster to accelerate application performance and to 
keep up with an ever expanding user base, without downtime or tedious data migration.
High Availability
Standalone NAS has many single points of failure. Data loss or interruption can occur if any crucial 
hardware or software components fail, even when protected by proven RAID technologies. Unlike RAID 
however, SnapScale is designed to protect data by tolerating not only the failure of multiple drives, but 
even the failure of entire nodes with no downtime or offl ine rebuilding. Utilizing two selectable levels of 
data redundancy, SnapScale nodes create identical copies of fi les automatically when data is written to 
the global namespace, making node or drive failure completely transparent to the storage user or network 
application, by maintaining data availability. Completely remove all single points of failure with a SnapScale 
cluster and protect your businesses most crucial data with complete redundancy and protection.
