Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery (BC/DR)
BC/DR Benefits
Resources
Lower RTO and RPO by up to 95% with all-inclusive data protection
Business continuity and data availability are two the most critical aspects of operations and revenue generation. To ensure that operations and data are highly available, you must prepare for and prevent data loss through effective business continuity and disaster recovery (BC/DR) planning. FalconStor BC/DR solutions enable automated disaster recovery with hardware independence, scalability, and flexibility, for cost-effective and comprehensive business continuity.
- Enable high availability for business continuity
- Quickly recover files, databases, systems, and entire sites with automated disaster recovery
- Reduce primary storage capacity requirements by 50% with storage virtualization
- Slash replication costs by up to 90% with WAN-optimized replication
- Eliminate redundant data and shrink your backup repository by as much as 95% through MicroScan™ technology
Automated disaster recovery
Disaster recovery involves more than replicating data offsite. To resume operations after a disaster, you have the complex task of rebuilding servers, reinstalling operating systems and applications, reconfiguring networks, and reassigning storage volumes. FalconStor solutions automate the complex tasks of protecting and recovering data and resuming business continuity through RecoverTrac™ technology. As a standard feature of the FalconStor® Continuous Data Protector (CDP) and FalconStor® Network Storage Server (NSS) solutions, RecoverTrac enables you to protect and preserve critical business applications and data, operating in all environments regardless of server, network, application, or storage vendor.
Unified backup and disaster recovery
FalconStor CDP technology reinvents the way you back up and recover data. Moving far beyond failure-prone once-a-day tape backup models, the FalconStor CDP solution combines local and remote protection into a cost-effective, unified, disk-based solution. By keeping point-in-time snapshots of data readily available, FalconStor CDP lets you recover data back to the most recent transaction at local or remote sites in the event of downtime or disaster. FalconStor CDP automates complex disaster recovery processes to deliver fast, reliable business continuity.
Intelligent, flexible storage virtualization and disaster recovery
The FalconStor NSS solution offers powerful, intelligent storage provisioning and storage virtualization, as well as a full set of application-aware data protection services, including real-time synchronous mirroring, volume snapshots, and WAN-optimized replication across multiple platforms. This ensures that all components are redundant and can seamlessly react to any form of disruption, for business continuity. An open architecture facilitates lower-cost hardware deployments at the disaster recovery site, including the ability to leverage existing resources. Integration with VMware and Microsoft virtualization environments enables seamless operational failover between sites and fast, cost-effective physical-to-virtual (P2V) disaster recovery.

"Our tape-based solution did not support the DR plan that a college in a hurricane zone has to have. FalconStor technology helped us take the next big step in our business continuity plan."
