The Overland-Tandberg solutions provide both the "online" and "offline" components required for a comprehensive multi-tiered backup and recovery plan. The "offline" is an imperative component, as it is disconnected from online processes and not reachable through any network for invaders to reach. The integrated "online" offering is what enables the fast recovery and business continuity, thus reducing the level of disruption to a minimum.
"As a long-time partner of both Overland Storage and Tandberg Data, Ingram Micro is very happy to hear that Overland-Tandberg is now going to market as one strong, combined data storage brand," said Sumru Gerken, Senior Manager Components & Networking, Business Management & Sales Division. "We are convinced that the resulting joint go-to-market activities, processes and services will address the needs of our broad resellers, VARs and systems integrators to answer today's challenges in data protection; whether it is backup, archiving or data protection. We are looking forward to continuing our collaboration with Overland-Tandberg as we view them as one of the more established and channel-friendly brands in the market."
The European Union General Data Protection Regulation (EU-GDPR) compliance requirement, which goes into effect May 2018, is another challenge faced by both the European Union (EU) and multi-national companies. Every organization with business in the EU will need to make changes to its data protection oversight, technology and processes to prepare for the new rules. However, per a recent IDC Research survey1, more than half of 700 surveyed European companies admitted they were unsure of the impact of the upcoming EU-GDPR regulations on their organizations. Overland-Tandberg is optimally positioned to provide its channel partners and customers with efficient solutions to ensure readiness and compliance in the fields of business continuity, disaster recovery planning and long-term archiving.
"Today I am excited to say we have not only been successful in merging our storage portfolio, partner tools, sales and service processes under the new Overland-Tandberg brand, but we have also become one consistent global team of focused and motivated employees," said Graham Paterson, Vice President of Sales, Overland-Tandberg EMEA. "In these times of uncertainty around security and data privacy, our global team is committed and ready to help our channel partners and their customers succeed in their data protection and IT infrastructure goals."
Tina Brown, Vice President of Corporate Marketing and Programs for Sphere 3D Corp., also commented, "Sphere 3D continues to move forward on the plans the company announced earlier this year to establish the data storage group to ensure a better market focus on the segment. The Overland-Tandberg brand represents a true and trusted competence center for storage solutions, with our central product lines NEO®, RDX® and SnapServer® - representing a strong legacy of data storage intellectual property, expertise and experience."
