Overland-Tandberg(TM) Data Storage Brand Stands Strong Against Data Security Threats

New Storage Brand represents Trust, Service and Long Legacy of Data Protection from malicious software like Ransomware and crypto viruses

SAN JOSE, Calif. and DORTMUND, Germany, June 28, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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(TM).  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."
