Overland Storage Buying Guide Virtualization is far more advanced in servers than in storage, and that causes provisioning headaches for storage administrators who sometimes struggle to keep up with the demands. "When we ask users what storage-specific factor would allow more widespread use of server virtualization, the top array-related answer is faster provisioning," said Terri McClure, senior analyst at ESG. "When you have a server environment that can be provisioned with a mouse click you can't have a laborious storage change management process, so the ease and speed of provisioning is really key here." Overland Storage believes it has an answer to this problem via its DynamicRAID technology which is built into the latest SnapServers. "DynamicRAID eliminates the need to provision storage," said Jillian Mansolf, Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing at Overland Storage. Overland Storage (NASDAQ: OVRL) offers three major product lines: SnapServer, SnapSAN and NEO. SnapServer The line includes several models:

Datapath.io | Network Performance Platform 'Seagate's OCZ gobble was real, but went sour in CEO row' High performance access to file storage Juicy scuttlebutt from storage insiders suggests the Seagate acquisition of OCZ fell through because the larger firm refused to give OCZ's CEO Ryan Petersen a seat on its board. According to our sources, this, in combination with flash NAND shortages at OCZ, led to Petersen's eventual resignation. Petersen founded and ran OCZ, one of the nimblest and most aggressive flash SSD and PCIe card product suppliers in the game. As customers perceived the advantages of faster data access leading to faster app execution in servers, flash storage product supply soon became a priority for storage product suppliers such as EMC, NetApp and so forth. Ryan Petersen Western Digital bought Hitachi GST and got a leg up with that company's Intel-based SSDs, leaving Seagate with a problem. Now OCZ has an interim CEO, chief marketing officer Alex Mei, and its stock is getting killed with investors, who anticipate a lousy quarterly report in a couple of weeks time.
