BakBone Software, a global provider of storage management software, announced that they have certified Hewlett Packard's Ultrium Generation 2 tape drive with Overland's Neo Series tape library.

Hewlett Packard's newest tape drive offers the largest capacity and fastest performance currently available. Together with Overland, they double the capacity and performance of their first generation tape products. Combined with BakBone's backup and restore software NetVault, LTO enterprise customers can easily and securely protect their automated data at a lower cost of ownership.

"Overland Storage is focused on delivering the best storage solutions to our customers," said Robert Scroop, vice president and general manager of Overland's storage resource business unit. "The Neo Series provides non-stop operation, solid investment protection, and the latest in tape technology. BakBone's NetVault complements the Neo Series to offer customers a complete high performance storage solution."

NetVault is built upon an advanced modular architecture that provides IT managers the flexibility required to support continued growth and incorporate new enhancements rapidly as information storage needs expand and change. NetVault is able to operate in multi-vendor networks and supports a broad range of platforms, applications, and high performance tape and networked storage devices.

"BakBone is very pleased to be the first partner to announce compatibility with Overland's Neo Series tape library using HP Ultrium Generation 2 tape drives.
