Learn why FalconStor CDP offers the most comprehensive data protection for your storage environment

Open Architecture

Supports:

• Direct attached/internal storage 
• Networked storage over iSCSI or Fibre Channel (FC)
• Physical and virtual server environments
• Major enterprise operating systems, including Microsoft Windows, Linux, Solaris, AIX, and HP-UX. 

RecoverTrac™ Technology: Automated DR

Automates the complex tasks of protecting and recovering data, and resuming business operations through RecoverTrac technology:

• Supports physical and virtual servers
• Supports any type of storage or networking
• Physical-to-physical (P2P), physical-to-virtual (P2V), or virtual-to-virtual (V2V) server recovery.

Non-disruptive DR Testing

Non-disruptive testing of recovery jobs through RecoveryTrac technology ensures accuracy and confidence in business recovery operations before an actual failure occurs.

Flexible Data Capture to Improve RPO

• Continuous or periodic (point-in-time) protection helps you meet or exceed all RPO requirements. 
• Data journaling protects information at a per-write level of granularity, letting you recover everything up to the last bit of information written before a service outage.
• Periodic snapshots, up to 1,000 per volume, give you numerous bootable recovery images based on a pre-set schedule, such as every hour or every several hours, delivering far more recovery points than typical nightly tape backups. 
• Journaling and snapshots can be used on the same volume. 
• Advanced scheduling, retention, disposal, and reclamation optimize snapshot capacity management.

Flexible Deployment Model

Uses host-based agents or SAN fabric-based devices.

Data Mobility

Stores data in its native format, not in a proprietary backup format. This allows you to quickly mount the data via any appropriate host server, providing faster, more flexible recovery.

Any-to-any Data Replication with Compression

• Replicates data from any vendor's primary storage environment to any other storage device. 
• Uses any disk or storage protocol that meets your price/performance requirements without vendor lock-in. 

WAN-optimized Replication and Encryption

• Patented disk scanning and compression technology reduces replication bandwidth utilization by as much as 90%. 
• Multi-threaded architecture delivers 300% performance improvements for replication, compression, and encryption.

Thin Provisioning

Maximizes disk utilization, reduces storage costs and power consumption.

Application Integration

• Application-aware snapshot agents, including Microsoft Windows-certified agents, ensure 100% transactional integrity. 
• Support is provided for major enterprise messaging and database platforms, including Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SQL, Oracle, Lotus Notes/Domino, Sybase, Informix, DB2, GroupWise, Progress, and SAP. 
• FalconStor CDP also supports clustering software, including Microsoft Windows clustering and Oracle RAC. (View the Certification Matrix for more information). 

Remote Boot Support

In the event of primary storage failure, you can access FalconStor CDP storage to restart physical servers via FC/iSCSI HBA booting.

Microsoft Windows-specific Management Agents

A DiskSafe™ agent protects DAS and SAN for Microsoft Windows-based application servers. You can configure and manage protection directly from within the Microsoft Windows server, including setting snapshot schedules and mounting snapshot images through an easy-to-use GUI.

Central Client Manager

• A Central Client Manager lets you configure and monitor protected servers from a single point of view. 
• Ability to create snapshot schedules per groups of servers or applications reduces management time and helps ensure consistent protection.

Physical-to-virtual (P2V) Recovery

Uses snapshot images to quickly restart failed physical systems as virtual machines.

Large LUN Support

Supports individual LUNs up to 64TB in size, accommodating data growth and server virtualization needs.

Accelerate Backup to Tape

• When tape is required, FalconStor CDP enables host-free, SAN-based backup that eliminates the need for backup agents and imposes no impact on your production environment. 
• Backup speed increases dramatically, by as much as 1,000% (moving from a 1Gb LAN-based backup to a 10Gb SAN backup).
