Overland's Web TLC technology is the first platform-independent solution that allows a central administrator to remotely configure, monitor, diagnose and control Overland's DLTtape-based automated storage solutions from anywhere in the world. Web TLC supports real-time alerts with TapeAlert-compatible backup software and SNMP-compliant network management consoles. It operates with all the leading web browsers and does not utilize the host server connected to the tape library, making it universally compatible with a variety of Windows NT and UNIX platforms, and allowing Overland libraries with Web TLC functionality to be deployed throughout an enterprise.

In addition to the operational cost savings of centralized storage administration, it reduces installation costs by streamlining library configuration process. Once the unit is installed and powered on, all configuration can be done remotely by the centralized administrator, ensuring that all parameters are set correctly to guarantee that backups are completed across a large network of libraries and loaders. Web TLC also facilitates firmware upgrades to multiple distributed libraries from a centralized workstation, ensuring that all sites throughout the enterprise are operating with the most current revisions.
