The PRWIRE Press Releases http:// 2013-04-04T02:13:00Z Survey finds Duplication Technologies Drive Data Centre Optimization 2013-04-04T02:13:00Z survey-finds-duplication-technologies-drive-data-centre-optimization Sydney, April 4, 2012—FalconStor Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: FALC), a market leader in disk-based data protection, today announced the results of IDG Research Services’ quick poll, “Backup Technologies; the Tale of the Tape.” The independent survey shows that deduplication has entered the mainstream and is effectively addressing the backup and data storage issues caused by exponential data growth. Large enterprises are leading the way – with mid-size companies and small businesses not far behind – in deploying and reporting significant benefits of the technology, including faster backups, quicker recovery, more efficient data management and lower operating costs. Through its online poll, IDG Research collected information from 215 qualified IT leaders at large, medium and small companies across various industries regarding their use of backup and deduplication technologies. Key survey findings include: · Fifty-nine percent of all respondents either have a deduplication solution in place (43 percent) or plan to implement one (16 percent). · An aggregated 52 percent of large enterprises, 32 percent of mid-size companies and 28 percent of SMBs currently have a deduplication solution in place. · An aggregated 60 to 70 percent of respondents already have achieved or expect to realize faster backups, quicker recovery and improved efficiency with deduplication. · Forty percent of all respondents, regardless of company size, retain backup data for more than three years. “The escalating growth of digital information over the last decade, which has severely stressed traditional methods of data protection and storage, will continue unabated for the foreseeable future. Migrating to new technologies such as deduplication for optimizing backup and storage has become an essential priority for data center managers everywhere,” said Janet King, general manager and vice president of IDG Research Services. “This survey shows that deduplication has been deployed and tested by a wide range of midsize to large enterprises, demonstrating its benefits to the rest of the market and accelerating adoption of the technology.” The survey data also revealed that an aggregated 59 percent of companies polled are using a combination of disk-based backup and tape storage; and an aggregated 39 percent are using disk-based backup with deduplication. Tape continues to be a cost-effective medium for data archiving, especially as businesses are required to retain records for longer periods of time, while disk-based systems are deployed for faster backup and recovery. Deduplication increases the efficiency of both disk and tape, optimizing the management of both short- and long-term storage. “Because of the increasing amount of data that must be protected and available for immediate recovery, companies need to be smarter about the way they backup, archive and store data,” said Darrell Riddle, senior director of product marketing at FalconStor. “Storage resources are taxed by excessive amounts of duplicate data, which costs companies money. FalconStor’s deduplication technology not only reduces the amount of data stored or sent over a network, it dramatically increases operational efficiency and lowers the cost of doing business. With cloud-based storage becoming more prevalent, businesses will be transmitting an exponentially increasing amount of duplicate data over the wire – we want to stop that madness.” The FalconStor® Virtual Tape Library (VTL) solution, one of the industry’s fastest and most flexible disk-based backup and deduplication systems, is widely used by enterprises to optimize data backup, recovery, and storage. The FalconStor VTL solution provides customers the flexibility to optimize backup for speed and efficiency by tailoring deduplication processes to the needs of their environment. The system offers an array of deduplication options, including inline, concurrent, post-processing or no deduplication – and the flexibility to deploy them in multiple configurations to match types of data and available storage. Study demographics IDG Research polled 215 qualified IT leaders in various industries regarding the current and future use of backup and deduplication technologies. At the time of the survey 33 percent of these individuals worked at firms with more than 5,000 employees; 24 percent had between 1,001 and 5,000 employees; 35 percent had between 101 and 1,000 employees; and eight percent had between 50 and 100 employees.

FalconStore Automated Service-orientated Disaster Recovery for any Environment 2012-08-21T05:15:00Z falconstore-automated-service-orientated-disaster-recovery-for-any-environment FalconStor Enables Automated Service-Oriented Disaster Recovery for Any Environment FalconStor’s RecoverTrac 2.5 DR Automation Tool Ensures Rapid Recovery of IT Services In the Event of Data Center Failure SYDNEY, August 21, 2012—FalconStor Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: FALC), a market leader in disk-based data protection, today announced the latest version of RecoverTrac™ technology, offering customers fully automated recovery of complete IT services in any data center environment. Key enhancements in RecoverTrac 2.5 enable lightning fast recovery in mixed physical and virtual environments, failover and failback between dissimilar hardware and non-disruptive disaster recovery (DR) testing. As a standard feature of FalconStor Continuous Data Protector (CDP) and FalconStor Network Storage Server (NSS) solutions, the RecoverTrac DR automation tool allows customers to protect critical business services and recover these services in minutes. “At the core of every business lies its most valuable asset; data, which must be protected against human error, equipment failure and natural disasters while at the same time always being available,” said Darrell Riddle, senior director of product marketing at FalconStor Software. “Every minute companies focus on recovering data and critical IT services is time lost running the business. By being able to recover automatically multiple services and systems, or even an entire site, in minutes rather than hours or even days, RecoverTrac 2.5 gives IT administrators something they aren't getting enough of – sleep." IT managers need to manage and protect mixed environments composed of physical and virtual assets and equipment from multiple vendors. RecoverTrac 2.5 technology is optimized for today’s heterogeneous data centers with enhancements that increase the speed and flexibility of DR automation: Lightning fast recovery: Performance improvements and the ability to recover multiple machines simultaneously return organizations to full productivity in minutes. Any-to-any recovery: Integration with VMware and Hyper-V and support for hardware templates enables failover and failback between any combination of physical and virtual servers and between dissimilar hardware. Greater VMware support: VMware vSphere 5 and VMware cluster support enables load balancing and high-availability configurations. Automated push-button DR rehearsal: Allows busy IT managers to test and refine recovery processes on a regular basis without disrupting business operations. “IT resilience and data protection are key elements to a company’s success,” said John Morency, research vice president at Gartner. “Businesses must be able to recover quickly following a disruptive event, whether it is a lost file or the failure of a complex application or service. In failing to execute well-tested disaster recovery, companies face the prospect of significant downtime, diminished employee productivity, and lost revenue. Failover/failback automation ensures that IT managers can deploy and test DR processes far more efficiently and effectively – resulting in a significant reduction of the business impact of planned downtime.” “Our customers cannot afford the lost data and lack of response to customers because their systems are offline. In looking for a solution that would ensure their data is fully protected, it is imperative we can offer fast and flexible data recovery. FalconStor RecoverTrac 2.5 stands out for its ability to operate within any physical, virtual or hybrid environment, allowing our users to recover services and data at any time they needed,” said Mark Gluckman, managing director of Regal-IT in Sydney.. Availability and pricing FalconStor RecoverTrac is available immediately as a standard feature of FalconStor CDP and FalconStor NSS. About FalconStor Software FalconStor Software, Inc.

(NASDAQ: FALC), a market leader in disk-based data protection, today announced that the Greater London Authority (GLA) implemented the FalconStor Network Storage Server (NSS) solution and FalconStor’s RecoverTrac™ technology to ensure disaster preparedness and to handle GLA’s significant data growth prior to the London Olympic Games. The GLA replaced its tape-based backup and recovery system to ensure data availability and quick recovery in four hours or less, estimating a savings of approximately 90,000 ($139,000) annually. The GLA, which provides IT support and services to the mayor’s office and the London Assembly, implemented the disk-based backup technology to ensure complete data protection and business continuity for events such as the mayoral elections, the Royal Jubilee celebrations and the Olympic Games. The authority worked with local storage integrator Cristie Data to deploy the RecoverTrac tool and FalconStor NSS, along with Nexsan storage, to give the organization storage virtualization, data replication and automated disaster recovery capabilities. With 60 terabytes of data and the eyes of the world focused on the city, GLA data is now replicated to an off-site data center and can be automatically recovered in the event of an IT disaster. “Prior to the 2008 mayoral elections, a water main burst near City Hall and our power went out. Had it stayed out for much longer, it would have taken us three days to recover our data,” said David Munn, head of GLA information technology. “We could not risk something like that during the London Games or any other major event happening in 2012. FalconStor’s storage management and replication technology ensures that we can keep mission-critical data available, regardless of any disaster.” The GLA estimates it will gain a full payback on its disaster recovery investment in four years. The organization now has quick recovery during data center outages, an 80 percent reduction in energy consumption and a storage solution capable of accommodating continued data growth. “We've given the GLA an infrastructure that's much easier to use and has more flexibility, replacing the previous expensive and slow backup solution of saving data to magnetic tape,” said Ryan Smith, sales director at Cristie Data. “GLA’s enterprise-capacity license means it can add more storage and data on demand, accommodating future needs without any business disruption.” “A world-class city like London needs the protection of automated disaster recovery, particularly in a time of massive data growth and civic activity,” said Darrell Riddle, senior director of product marketing at FalconStor Software. “Unfortunately, there will not be any gold medal awarded for prudent data protection planning during the London Olympics – but if there were, the GLA would be in a strong position to win it. FalconStor ensures that anyone using GLA’s IT services during the Olympic games or for normal government operations is not left in the dark.” About FalconStor FalconStor Software, Inc.
