"There are many options," Calisi says. "We're doing our homework."
Overland is also hoping that the proposed merger between Hewlett-Packard Co. (NYSE: HWP) and Compaq Computer Corp. (NYSE: CPQ) goes through as planned, since Compaq OEMs Overland's products -- and currently accounts for more than 50 percent of the company's revenues, according to a report on Multex.com.
"There were a lot of smiles on our faces" when the merger was announced, Calisi says. Though Wall Street and competitors have questioned the value of the merger (see Compaq/HP Hairball), it could mean additional sales for Overland, money that might help the company move forward faster with its networking plans.
"Compaq picked the Neo over an H-P product earlier this year," says Calisi, "so we see a potentially larger market for us if the [merger] goes through."
