Overland-Tandberg™ Data Storage Brand Stands Strong Against Data Security Threats
June 28 2017 - 3:30AM
Tandberg Data and Overland Storage, subsidiaries of Sphere 3D Corp.
(NASDAQ:ANY) and both long time leading storage companies, today
announced the launch of their new brand and logo
Overland-Tandberg™. The new Overland-Tandberg brand
represents more than 30 years of history, trust, superior service,
and data protection leadership. It offers a comprehensive portfolio
for storage, backup, disaster recovery, archiving and data
protection.
One of the most pressing data security challenges businesses are
facing today is how to best protect themselves against malicious
software like Ransomware, crypto viruses and Trojans. This threat
was painfully illustrated recently by the global “Wannacry” attack
that caused widespread and critical disruption to business
continuity. With these threats now being part of daily business
risks, it is a high priority for businesses to protect critical
business data and to ensure the fastest recovery and business
continuity in the unfortunate case of falling victim to an
attack.
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.”
