Converge and FalconStor Partner to Optimize IBM Power GCP-Driven Data Protection
Organizations are increasingly moving their workloads to the cloud to gain agility, scalability and cost savings. Converge just announced FalconStor StorSafe for Google Cloud available in Google Cloud Marketplace. Hybrid cloud deployments on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) can now modernize their data protection with a collaboration from Converge and FalconStor StorSafe. Organizations with IBM Power IBM i, AIX and Linux workloads on-premises and on GCP can now take advantage of the collaboration that delivers a multitude of benefits for IBM Power GCP hybrid cloud environments.
Seamless backups to GCP
FalconStor StorSafe data deduplication technology integrates with GCP allowing organizations to offload backup data from on-prem systems to Google Cloud cost-effectively with savings up to 60% including infrastructure costs, while maintaining rapid access and retention compliance.
Hybrid cloud flexibility
Whether it’s protecting IBM Power on-premises workloads or GCP workloads StorSafe works seamlessly with existing backup and recovery architectures to provide optimized protection leveraging its patented deduplication, encryption and ransomware protection to ensure safe and fast data protection.
Simplified cloud migrations for legacy backups
For organizations needing to migrate IBM Power IBM i, AIX and Linux workloads on-premises to GCP or organizations needing to migrate aging tapes directly to GCP, StorSafe for Google Cloud provides a clean, accelerated path to move legacy backups to the cloud without rehydration or rearchitecting saving significantly in time and resources.
Disaster Recovery in GCP
With replication and orchestration built into FalconStor’s platform, organizations can set up cost-effective DR sites in GCP, avoiding the need to maintain physical secondary locations.
Security, Compliance and Performance
FalconStor’s encryption, immutability, and audit-ready logs ensure data remains protected in transit and at rest in GCP. This is essential for meeting compliance standards such as HIPAA, GDPR, and SOC 2—especially in regulated industries.
Looking to simplify your IBM Power path to GCP-powered backup and disaster recovery? The convergence of Converge, FalconStor’s software-defined storage platform, and Google Cloud’s global infrastructure offers a uniquely powerful solution. This triad empowers enterprises to:
- Reduce backup storage costs by over 60%
- Improve RPOs and RTOs across hybrid environments
- Eliminate legacy hardware dependencies
