Target Customers NEO solutions are best suited for either small and medium-sized businesses that require affordable, effortless high-capacity data storage, or larger enterprises requiring the data reliability, availability and serviceability commonly demanded by large data centers. The diagram below outlines the attributes of an ideal customer. Small/Medium Businesses Single business sites/locations or remote branches of larger enterprises High-capacity data storage delivered in a compact form factor Effortless solutions requiring minimal IT administration Cost-effective solutions that minimize impact to tight budgets Large Enterprises Large, centralized data centers requiring ultra high-capacity data storage High-performance computing environments where speed of data transfer/access is key Complex environments requiring redundancy features that ensure data availability Environments faced with stringent regulatory compliance issues Qualifying Questions How much storage capacity do you currently need and what is the growth rate? Look for customers who either need or anticipate needing 10-80TB of backup/archive data within the next 12 months with anticipation of growth over the next 18-24 months. NEO tape libraries have the ability to start small and then scale as capacity requirements grow. What is your backup window? Knowing how much data needs to be backed up and in what timeframe will help you determine the type and number of tape drives to recommend in a NEO library. Small/ medium business users typically require one or two tape drives, providing data transfer rates of up to 2 TB/hr. Larger enterprise accounts often require 4+ tape drives, providing up to 12 TB/hr. data transfer rates. What type of network connectivity is required? While most NEO solutions provide native SAS, SCSI or FC connectivity, understanding the backup server connectivity requirements will help you provide a NEO solution that seamlessly integrates with existing network infrastructures and provides the highest speed performance. How dynamic is your data storage environment? Customers with a very stable data storage environment may prefer the simplicity of the NEOs line while customers who are likely to experience lots of change may require the flexibility of the NEOe product line. The NEO Advantage Flexibility to adapt to changing data storage environments is a requirement Dynamic Environments 1

LTO Technology Overview NEO automated tape libraries utilize industry-leading LTO tape drive technology. LTO (Linear Tape Open) technology simplifies the complex array of tape storage options by providing an open format specification. LTO technology provides scable performance characteristics designed to accommodate a wide range of system platforms and ensures rapid technological advancement that guarantees your tape storage solution will keep pace with changing data storage needs. The open nature of LTO technology has resulted in an end-user friendly market standard that has lead to LTO solutions replacing virtually every other tape technology in the marketplace, making it the true leader for midrange and enterprise data storage applications. One of the key advantages of LTO tape drive technology is the clearly defined eight-generation roadmap designed to provide advancements in storage capacity, data transfer rates and multigeneration scalability. NEO users can benefit from effortless upgrade capability of the LTO tape drives contained in their NEO libraries by simply upgrading/replacing the tape drives when nextgeneration tape drive technology becomes available. This allows you to protect your initial tape library investment while providing ever-increasing advances in storage capacity and performance. Another advantage of the open format of LTO is superior backward compatibility across multiple generations of LTO media. This feature allows you to begin writing data to new, higher-capacity tapes while still having the ability to access the data on your old tapes. This investment protection benefit not only minimizes your cost of ownership but provides ongoing data availability. As a leader in innovative data storage technologies, Overland Storage makes every effort to ensure that your NEO automated tape libraries are keeping pace with new tape drive technologies. Current NEO libraries support LTO4 and/or LTO5 tape drives and offer a variety of capacities and data transfer rates. 5
