FalconStor provides solutions that are integrated with Microsoft SharePoint environments to ensure efficient storage utilization, comprehensive data protection, and automated recovery, helping customers make the most of their ongoing investments in Microsoft technology.

The adoption of FalconStor solutions for Microsoft SharePoint environments results in highly optimized and available business implementations, helping customers to:

• Achieve 99.999% availability of Microsoft SharePoint databases with storage virtualization
• Reduce Microsoft SharePoint management costs through storage consolidation
• Enable instantaneous bare-metal recovery for Microsoft SharePoint Server
• Slash Microsoft SharePoint DR costs with WAN-optimized replication
• Eliminate redundant data and shrink backup repositories by up to 95%

Enhanced availability
FalconStor solutions integrate with Microsoft SharePoint environments to provide the highest levels of data availability, performance, and quick resumption of Microsoft SharePoint services. FalconStor® Network Storage Server (NSS) allows you to virtualize storage resources to service entire Microsoft SharePoint farms by defining and assigning the right storage tiers to the right Microsoft SharePoint workloads. FalconStor® Continuous Data Protector (CDP) enables rapid local and remote recovery to any point in time for specific Microsoft SharePoint workloads or entire Microsoft SharePoint farms. In the event of a partial or complete primary site failure, WAN-optimized heterogeneous data replication provides cost-effective DR that enables quick failover of operations to a remote site.

Immediate recovery
FalconStor solutions provide space-efficient, 100% transactionally consistent database snapshots that can be used for instant recovery to satisfy the most demanding recovery time objectives (RTO) of Microsoft SharePoint workloads. Rapid recovery has a direct effect on data availability, which improves overall productivity. FalconStor data protection solutions enable for granular recovery of a single workload or an entire farm after a system failure or data loss to achieve the best recovery point objectives (RPO).

Zero-impact optimized backup
FalconStor Continuous Data Protector (CDP) and FalconStor Network Storage Server (NSS) integrate with backup solutions specific to Microsoft SharePoint to enable zero-impact backup and automate high-speed SAN-based backup operations. This unique approach to data protection and management offloads all backup operations from Microsoft SharePoint servers, enabling backup to take place anytime — even during business hours. Furthermore, FalconStor data deduplication solutions help minimize online storage capacity requirements for Microsoft SharePoint backup applications. Capacity requirements for backup applications using disk-to-disk (D2D) environments can be reduced by as much as 20 times or more utilizing FalconStor® Virtual Tape Library (VTL) or FalconStor® File-interface Deduplication System (FDS), eliminating data redundancies resulting from backup operations. Now you can retain more data online, longer, for faster data restores and reduced backup costs.
