Overland-Tandberg NEOxl 80 Tape Library

Discover the Overland-Tandberg NEOxl 80 Tape Library, a powerful, scalable backup solution engineered for midrange and enterprise environments. The NEO XL-Series blends flexible automation with high density, strong performance, and affordable total cost of ownership to help organizations protect data faster, smarter, and more efficiently. Designed for growing data centers, this library delivers effortless automated backups, streamlined media management, and reliable restores, all while reducing manual intervention and operational risk. Whether you’re consolidating backups, archiving critical assets, or meeting stringent regulatory requirements, the NEOxl 80 is built to adapt to evolving data protection needs without compromising ease of use or control.

  • The NEOxl 80 delivers effortless automated backup and retrieval through advanced robotic media handling and intelligent media management. It simplifies routine tasks like media loading, data retention, and archive cycling, freeing IT teams to focus on strategic initiatives. With policy-driven automation, you can schedule backups, define retention windows, and automatically move media between pools to optimize performance and cost, ensuring data is protected consistently across all workloads.
  • With dense, scalable capacity, the library grows with your data. The NEOxl 80 is engineered to maximize cartridge density and provide modular expansion paths that accommodate rising backup demands without expanding footprint or complicating management. As your organization scales, you gain additional slots and throughput options that preserve fast backup windows and rapid restores, keeping service levels intact even as data volumes surge.
  • Performance and reliability are at the core of the NEOxl 80. Leveraging proven LTO tape technology and optimized robotic control, the system delivers steady throughput, predictable access times, and resilient operation under heavy workloads. The library’s architecture minimizes mechanical motion and seek times, reducing backup durations and accelerating long-term retention workflows while maintaining data integrity across media generations.
  • Security and data integrity are built in. The NEOxl 80 supports encryption for data in transit and at rest (where applicable), tamper-resistant media handling, and comprehensive error detection to safeguard against bit-rot and corruption. Centralized auditing and reporting features make it easier to demonstrate compliance with industry regulations and internal governance standards, while role-based access and secure management interfaces help protect against unauthorized access.
  • Ease of management and cost effectiveness set the NEOxl 80 apart. The library integrates with leading backup software and enterprise management tools through standard interfaces, delivering a familiar experience for administrators. Its energy-efficient design, high media longevity, and scalable architecture translate into a lower total cost of ownership, predictable budgeting, and reduced administrative overhead over the lifecycle of your data protection solution.
