Today, FalconStor will announce a reseller relationship with compression and security specialist Hifn to provide hardware compression on the vendor's VTL products. Camberley Bates, FalconStor's chief marketing officer, told Byte and Switch that this will reduce the amount of storage needed for backups by 50 percent without impacting the backup performance.

Dell is also expected to announce new tape drives and media later this week. These are likely to focus on security, capacity, and performance enhancements, and follow the vendor's recent overhaul of its midrange tape library products.

Hifn's PCI-X bus, which will fit into FalconStor's VTL appliances, will be available next month, priced at $6,000. FalconStor is also expected to make other partner announcements this week.
