FalconStor DELIVERS INNOVATIVE SERVICES WITH NEW IPStor

Further strengthening its position as a leader in the development of network storage infrastructure software, FalconStor Software Inc has announced a new version of IPStor, which incorporates advanced functionality designed to deliver the highest availability and the most efficient backup and recovery capabilities available today, while maximizing resources and lowering administrative overhead.

FalconStor fully recognizes the challenges associated with data disruption, and the crippling effect it can have on business operations and administrative personnel. IPStor version 4.0 addresses these issues with the addition of new storage services that enable IT management and supporting personnel to focus their efforts and time on mission-critical operations. New services in IPStor version 4.0 include superior enterprise-class manageability; real time data migration and virus scanning; accelerated backup and recovery; expedited disaster recovery capabilities; and performance optimization.

"Businesses continue to struggle with striking the right balance between managing the cost of their complex IT storage infrastructures with the potentially paralyzing risk of downtime," said Jamie Gruener, senior analyst for the Yankee Group. "FalconStor has again incorporated powerful new functionality in IPStor that cost effectively meets these challenges and successfully addresses the immediate issues faced by enterprises."

IPStor version 4.0 offers comprehensive, fail-over services designed specifically to deliver rapid recovery from NIC, FC HBA, disk, system failures and disasters to optimize business continuity. In addition, IPStor version 4.0 enables Administrators to leverage costly investments in existing high-end media, transform inexpensive disks into high-speed storage, as well as minimize bandwidth utilization to maximize resources, reduce total cost of ownership and deliver the highest achievable performance.

"IPStor continues to gain widespread acceptance from a broad spectrum of enterprise-level customers across a diversity of industries. Their input, as well as the feedback we obtained from our strategic business partners and solution providers, had a significant impact on the development of the new functionality in IPStor version 4.0," said Wayne Lam, FalconStor vice president.
