CANNES, France -- FalconStor Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: FALC), the provider of TOTALLY Open data protection solutions, today introduced HyperTrac™ Backup Accelerator for VMware Consolidated Backup, a backup enhancement option for VMware Consolidated Backup (VCB). HyperTrac technology for VMware environments integrates with FalconStor® Network Storage Server (NSS), a feature-rich open storage virtualisation and provisioning platform that provides a full range of data protection and DR solutions for the VMware platform.
