A fast, flexible, and affordable disk-based backup and recovery appliance.
Fast
The Overland REO 4500 & 4500c disk-based backup and recovery appliance adds speed, reliability, and flexibility to any data protection environment. The REO 4500 features innovative Protection OS™ software that delivers volume and device virtualization, management, and connectivity capabilities. It also allows the REO to be easily enhanced via current and future software PAC options (e.g. Overland REO™ Multi-SitePAC™).
Flexible
It’s easy to configure the REO 4500 as virtual tape libraries and/or any mix of standalone virtual tape drives or disk volumes (LUNs) for maximum flexibility. Patent-pending Dynamic Virtual Tape (DVT) 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 shrink as needed to match the exact capacity requirements of the backup operation.
Expandable
The REO 4500 offers tremendous flexibility in capacity, ranging anywhere between 3TB and 27TB. Expansion is facilitated by adding economical SAS connected expansion arrays in 3TB, 6TB and 9TB configurations. Hardware compression effectively without affecting performance useable virtual tape capacity, giving the REO 4500c a total compressed capacity of 45 TB.
Simple
The REO 4500 is also easy to deploy and manage. It's compatible with all popular open systems or Windows-based backup software, physical tape drives, and libraries, and it connects easily to Ethernet (iSCSI) or Fibre Channel networks. A simple browser-based interface, proactive monitoring, and remote management capabilities combine to make REO 4500 easy and cost effective to manage.

"With Overland’s REO/NEO data protection in place, Dynamex has plenty of room for expansion while dramatically lowering our administrative overhead. Plus, now it takes only a couple of hours to oversee the backup and recovery process when it used to take more than a day."

"We were well protected during a potentially disastrous situation thanks to Overland. With REO and NEO, we have 100 percent confidence that our data is safe and secure"
-Forest Hudson
IS Manager, Graybill Medical Group
"With Overland's REO, we haven't spent one second de-fragmenting disks or dealing with compatibility issues. We've gons from spending eight hours a week managing disk-based backups to a couple of hours a year overseeing VTL firmware updates. Plus, REO integrates seamlessly with Overland's NEO tape libraries for complete D2D2T data protection."
