In light of today's explosive IT infrastructure growth and complexity, organizations are increasingly adopting virtualization to consolidate IT resources, simplify management, and minimize overhead. Yet in order to fully capitalize on virtualization, they need to treat virtual and physical environments alike, protecting them in a cost-effective manner to ensure data availability and rapid recovery, while addressing new challenges created by resources consolidation. One of the most complex issues facing VMware users is how to protect data and ensure fast recovery without impacting the virtual environment.
FalconStor solutions protect your virtual and physical server data with 100% transactional integrity, delivering the most rapid recovery at both the local and the remote site. With FalconStor software and VMware you can enable a fully virtualized infrastructure while saving money on your VMware deployments. You can:
- Achieve 99.999% availability of VMware infrastructure deployments with storage virtualization
- Reduce VMware management costs with storage consolidation
- Enable instant recovery of your VMware servers and virtual machines
- Slash your DR cost with DR automation and heterogeneous WAN-optimized replication
- Eliminate redundant data and shrink your backup repository by 95%
FalconStor solutions for VMware environments include:
VMware View Acceleration and Protection
FalconStor NSS SAN Accelerator for VMware View addresses the challenges facing scalable virtual desktop deployments by addressing the storage performance bottlenecks related to frequent cyclic virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) activities. A dynamic storage caching solid state layer provides high-performance storage services, mitigates any performance impact due to IO bottlenecks, and accelerates the boot, login, logoff, and VDI maintenance processes by a factor of 10 times while reducing the total cost of the storage infrastructure. In addition to accelerating the VDI operations, the solution allows for a high level of data protection and significantly reduces management overhead related to data protection and recovery processes.
Heterogeneous virtual storage
FalconStor Network Storage Server is an intelligent storage virtualization and provisioning platform that integrates with VMware Infrastructure to enable critical VMware enterprise features such as VMware VMotion, High Availability (HA), and Distributed Resource Scheduling (DRS). FalconStor NSS provides highly available, centralized storage virtualization for VMware ESX and ESXi servers. This heterogeneous storage virtualization enables complete vendor and storage technology independence while delivering high performance storage area networks (SAN) over both iSCSI and Fibre Channel (FC).
Zero-impact unified backup and DR
Backup operations can be even more challenging in a virtual server environment than in a physical one. FalconStor Continuous Data Protector (CDP) integrates with VMware infrastructure to deliver seamless, automated, and impact-free backup processes for VMware servers and virtual machines. Furthermore, FalconStor CDP offers instant recovery locally and remotely to enable end to end data protection and recovery processes.
Heterogeneous replication for VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager FalconStor CDP integration with VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM) streamlines disaster recovery (DR) processes and enables cost-effective, highly resilient data protection. WAN-optimized heterogeneous replication technology helps reduce your DR implementation costs by replicating data between different storage environments, and slashes data replication costs by over 80% while accelerating your replication processes. |
