Overland Storage has announced a collaboration with BitTorrent, Inc. to embed BitTorrent Sync™ within Overland's award-winning SnapServer DX Network Attached Storage (NAS) product line.

BitTorrent, Inc. pioneered the world's fastest P2P sharing protocol that is used by more than 170 million people per month, and moves up to approximately 40% of the world's Internet traffic each day. With its peer-to-peer architecture, BitTorrent Sync does not require a third party cloud provider and is able to achieve inherently faster speeds by sending files directly between devices.


The SnapServer DX with BitTorrent Sync solution allows users to create their own secure private cloud for accessing data globally or syncing data between systems for file sharing, mobile access or disaster recovery by simply exchanging secret keys.


"We are excited to offer new classes of software and hardware combinations to the public, private and hybrid cloud sector," said Jeremy Zuber, product manager for Overland Storage. "Teaming with BitTorrent allows our customers to securely synchronise, manage, access and share information across an organisation and around the globe."


With the SnapServer and BitTorrent Sync solution, data is encrypted and then transferred directly between devices via a peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing protocol. The data can only be decrypted on a device equipped with a shared decryption key. In addition to the SnapServer DX NAS, BitTorrent Sync is available for Windows, OSX, Linux and FreeBSD, and provides applications for use on iOS, Android, Windows Phone and Kindle devices.


"As a technological pioneer of file sharing and distribution on the Internet, we believe it is highly appropriate that we partner with one of the key innovators of data storage and management," said Lou Hong, product marketing manager of BitTorrent, Inc.


The SnapServer DX NAS Series is a data storage solution that allows users to manage their storage infrastructure without manual intervention. It is the simplest NAS and iSCSI SAN storage for today's business applications, including virtualised server and database environments, and backup and storage consolidation.
