FalconStor Software And INLINE Corporation Join Forces To Deliver State-Of-The-Art Fibre Channel Storage Solution
Partnership Enables Introduction of VirtualStor to INLINE´S MorStor TruFibre Product Family, With Virtualization, Key-Based Security, High Availability and Performance
MELVILLE, N.Y. AND DULLES, VA, December 12, 2001--FalconStor Software, Inc. (Nasdaq: FALC), a leading storage networking software infrastructure company, and INLINE Corporation, a leading provider of high-performance data storage solutions, today announced a strategic OEM agreement where INLINE will offer a custom version of IPStor™ with its MorStor TruFibre and FileStorm family of high performance SAN and NAS storage solutions.
The new integrated solution, VirtualStor, combines IPStor with INLINE's Fibre Channel RAID storage line, allowing the complete virtualization of SAN and NAS resources, with key-based security, high availability, and comprehensive management and control of storage network environments with a vast array of storage services.
“Virtualization is getting a lot of attention in the storage industry. IT Managers are looking for ways to get more out of the storage they have and at the same time minimize the time and labor necessary to manage their storage resources,” said Brad Bogle, INLINE director of marketing. “The partnership with FalconStor enables INLINE to bring this solution to market.”
IPStor is the first in the industry to offer active-active failover by configuring a pair of IPStor servers to form a high availability cluster, so that should one of them fail or need maintenance, its counterpart will inherit the workload smoothly without failing any I/O transaction. The IPStor server also provides real-time (synchronous) mirroring to the attached storage devices to guard against controller or disk failure without compromising performance, and utilizes a key-based authentication method for security to positively verify the host identity prior to granting a connection, thus eliminating spoofing.
“We are thrilled to form this partnership with INLINE. Our mutual customers will benefit from the combined expertise and development of this specialized network storage solution,” said Wayne Lam, FalconStor vice president of marketing. “The quality engineering of INLINE´s storage solutions, combined with IPStor´s virtualization and storage services creates an industrial strength network storage solution.”
VirtualStor allows organizations to manage disparate, heterogeneous storage devices including disk arrays, tape libraries and optical storage across a network as if they were one device. The solution includes a virtualization server, disk storage up to 96 disks and the VirtualStor management software. The solution quickly and easily provides business and government with a cost-effective way to maximize existing storage capacity.
