Overland Storage said that its storage offering is designed for virtualised server environments running VMWare, Hyper-V, and Citrix XenServer. It is built on GuardianOS and features SnapServer Manager that enables IT staff to manage all SnapServer NAS and SAN devices from a single interface.

The SnapServer N2000 provides a unified storage architecture that enables companies to simultaneously store and access both block and file data across Windows, UNIX/Linux, and Mac OS platforms as well as virtual servers, databases, email, and backup applications.

In addition, it provides the ability to mix SAS drives and SATA drives within the same system, which enables users to customise the performance and capacity of every volume created, Overland Storage said.
