11 August 2008 – Overland Storage has announced that its Snap Server 410 has been named as the winner of the ZD Net UK Editors’ Choice award for NAS appliances for SMEs.

The award was presented to Overland following rigorous testing by the ZD Net review team in a strong field which included products from Synology, Buffalo and Iomega.

“Despite meeting our basic criteria there were big differences in what the five appliances we evaluated were able to offer, both in terms of functionality and performance,” summarised reviewer Alan Stevens. “We eventually awarded the Editors’ Choice to the Snap Server 410, for its mix of storage capacity, features and performance in an easy-to-configure appliance that’s well within the reach of small and medium-sized businesses.”

Mike Collins, Sales Director EMEA, Overland Snap Server comments, “We are delighted that the Snap Server NAS appliances are continuing to assert their dominance in the NAS market. We are keen to build on the existing success of the product line and have invested in a strong and cohesive development team to promote further growth.”

Overland Storage acquired the Snap Server NAS business from Adaptec, including the brand and all assets related to Snap Server networked and desktop storage appliances, in June 2008.

The Snap Server 410 is ideal for medium-sized businesses with less than 4TB of storage needs. It provides outstanding performance and ease of use in a 1U rackmount NAS system. It is configured with 4 SATA II drives with fixed capacities of 1, 2, or 4TB and supports RAID levels 1 and 5 to keep your data safe.
