The Snap Server is a network attached storage computer appliance currently sold by Overland Storage.

All modern Snap Servers include an embedded operating system called GuardianOS.[1] The GuardianOS is a UNIX-like operating system based on the mainstream Linux kernel, and is used on the Snap Server line of network-attached storage devices. Older models used the SnapOS, which is a heavily customized BSD flavor. The SnapOS was originally created by Meridian Data for the Meridian Data Snap! Server, and shipped on products from May 1998 through February 2006.

Quantum had shipped more than 90,000 Snap Servers worldwide as of

December 31, 2001.[2] {{As of|2003|alt=As of the end of 2003}}, an estimated 150,000 Snap Servers have been sold worldwide.{{Citation needed|date=February 2007}} Many Snap Servers are visible operating on the open Internet, although it is generally more common for them to be deployed inside corporate intranets.
