The IBM i platform remains a critical backbone for thousands of businesses, yet many organizations still rely on aging systems for backup and disaster recovery. As cyber-attacks and threats rise and hybrid cloud adoption accelerates, the need to modernize IBM i data protection has never been stronger. FalconStor has stepped into that gap with impressive momentum.
Why FalconStor Stands Out
1. Purpose-built for IBM i
FalconStor StorSafe integrates natively with IBM i environments while preserving existing backup workflows. This makes modernization possible without disruptive process changes, a major advantage in risk-averse IBM i shops.
2. Strategic Alignment with IBM
A formal relationship with IBM gives FalconStor co-validated solutions for Power Systems and hybrid cloud backup. This partnership, of 20+ years boosts trust and helps MSPs and organizations adopt cloud-ready IBM i data protection.
3. Clear Modernization Value
StorSafe reduces infrastructure, bandwidth and storage costs while adding deduplication, encryption, immutable storage and efficient replication. It offers the speed and security many existing systems lack while keeping the operational model IBM i teams know.
4. Migration Path From Legacy Systems
FalconStor has directly targeted customers stuck on end-of-life solutions that are not native to IBM i environments like Data Domain. A smooth migration path has accelerated adoption and made FalconStor the default upgrade choice for many IBM i shops.
5. Growing Customer Footprint
With over 900 IBM i Power customers worldwide and over 3700+ petabytes of data protected, FalconStor has carved out one of the largest dedicated presences in the IBM i backup and DR ecosystem in 27+ countries and serving 25+ leading industries.
The Bottom Line
FalconStor isn’t just participating in the IBM i modernization wave, it’s helping drive it. By offering compatibility, security, hybrid-cloud readiness and a painless migration path, the company has become a leading force in IBM i backup and disaster recovery. For organizations still on legacy data protection ecosystems, FalconStor is emerging as the go-to modernization option.
