FalconStor Announces Offerings For VMware Environments, Bridging Physical And Virtual Infrastructures: Page 2 of 5

    * FalconStor Network Storage Server (NSS) - Extends VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager functionality across the data center by adding support for physical-to-virtual machine failover. This unique implementation dramatically speeds site-level failover and reduces DR costs.
    * FalconStor Failback Manager for VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager - Lets VMware vSphere 4 users automate the failback process to the primary data center in a single step once the restoration of data center services are complete. VMware and FalconStor customers can experience a single simplified function, accelerating return to normal operations and minimizing human error.

"With these new solutions for VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager, FalconStor continues its tradition of adding value in the area of data protection, business continuity and disaster recovery," said Bernie Wu, vice president of business development for FalconStor Software. "The combination of our respective solutions is designed to lower costs and remove the barriers to deploy continuous availability in a VMware vSphere 4-enabled data center of any size."

These new features complement FalconStor Storage Replication Adapter (SRA) for VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager, which integrates FalconStor's replication capability with Site Recovery Manager. In addition, FalconStor's replication technology provides replication and bandwidth efficiency over the WAN and supports heterogeneous infrastructures that require replication between multi-vendor SAN/DAS environments. FalconStor and VMware customers now have an alternative replication and DR solution when dealing with a mix of SAN/DAS vendors between primary and DR sites. Customers will find that Falconstor has built a complete set of DR solutions around the VMware platform that fits their budget and protection needs.

Continuous Availability: Added Data Protection, Performance and Efficiency

FalconStor solutions provide VMware customers with complete end-to-end continuous availability and backup protection as a critical component of the virtual data center. FalconStor enables backup optimization by completely eliminating the backup window and offloading backup operations from VMware production environments. In addition, FalconStor's deduplication technology reduces the backup infrastructure needed to support VMware-enabled backup applications.
