Matching Overland's NEO SERIES of libraries to existing High Voltage Differential SCSI systems is made simple with Overland Storage’s High Voltage Option (HVO) card. The HVO card is your generation bridge for NEO SERIES libraries to the installed base of High Voltage Differential SCSI based servers and systems.
Overview & Installation
The HVO card is designed to fit into one of the Virtual Interface Architecture (V.I.A.) bays built into all NEO SERIES libraries providing a simple seamless way to attach or share your NEO SERIES library. V.I.A.'s PCI based architecture provides a new level of integration, simplification and scalability when using the HVO card to solve legacy SCSI issues. The Overland Storage High Voltage Option Card supports all major operating systems including HP-UX, IBM AIX, Linux, Mac OS, Novell NetWare, SCO UNIX, Sun Solaris, Tru64 UNIX, Windows NT/2000 and more
