Strategically bridging server and storage virtualization for maximum data protection and availability

FalconStor Software is a VMware technology alliance partner, working closely with VMware to deliver comprehensive solutions for data center consolidation, data protection, and continuous availability. FalconStor storage virtualization solutions support VMware enterprise services such as VMotion, Distributed Resource Scheduling (DRS), VMware High Availability, and Fault Tolerance (vSphere 4.0), bringing the same benefits to the storage infrastructure that VMware brings to the server infrastructure.

One of the most complex issues facing virtualization platform administrators is how to protect application data while ensuring fast recovery without impacting the quality of the end-user experience. Traditional backup methods fail when applied to server virtualization environments. FalconStor data protection solutions integrate with VMware backup and disaster recovery (DR) solutions with minimal to no impact on host environments.

FalconStor solutions protect VMware Infrastructure data with 100% transactional integrity, delivering the most rapid recovery at both local and remote sites. The collaboration between FalconStor and VMware enables a fully protected and agile virtualized infrastructure while lowering the total cost of VMware deployments:

• Achieve 99.999% availability of VMware infrastructure deployments with storage virtualization
• Reduce VMware management costs with storage consolidation
• Enable instant recovery of VMware servers and virtual machines
• Slash DR costs with DR automation and heterogeneous WAN-optimized replication
• Eliminate redundant data and shrink backup repositories by as much as 95%
• Eliminate any system impact on VMware backup operations

FalconStor data protection and storage virtualization solutions for VMware environments include:

• Heterogeneous Replication for VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager
• Heterogeneous virtual storage
• VMware View SAN Acceleration
• Zero-impact unified backup and DR
