Nexsan Technologies, a leading provider of power-efficient
disk-based storage and FalconStor Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: FALC),
the provider of TOTALLY Open(TM) data protection solutions, today
announced a strategic venture to deliver a joint solution, which
has resulted in the delivery of an integrated deduplication product
family for high-performance, power-efficient data storage. Based on
Nexsan's power-efficient storage systems and the FalconStor®
File-interface Deduplication System (FDS) software, the new, Nexsan
DeDupe SG ("Speed with Green") product family will be delivered by
Nexsan through its worldwide network of channel partners.
The cost of traditional storage solutions makes it difficult for
organizations to efficiently backup and store their rapidly growing
business and application data. Compounding this challenge are tight
budgets which drive an increased demand for solutions that will
improve operating efficiencies while meeting performance
requirements. Nexsan and FalconStor have responded to this growing
need with a reliable, disk-based storage product line which offers
high-performance data deduplication that has been optimized for
high density, power and cost efficiency.
"Nexsan and FalconStor have made a significant leap forward in
the area of operating efficiency with the new Nexsan DeDupe SG,"
said Lauren Whitehouse, senior analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group.
"The new self-optimizing capability of this product is very unique
and will help companies realize benefits in both power and data
efficiency while automating critical storage management
processes."
Storage deduplication systems are primarily used as backup
targets, operating only during the backup window. Even though the
typical backup window is less than eight hours a day, all other
deduplication systems spin drives and burn energy for the remaining
16 hours, even while not in use. With Nexsan DeDupe SG, customers
not only get higher capacity and better performance during their
backups, they also save energy and reduce costs every hour that the
system is not in use.
Nexsan DeDupe SG leverages the green efficiencies inherent to
its industry-leading technology components: data reduction through
high-speed deduplication, footprint reduction by utilizing
space-efficient storage arrays, and substantial energy savings
through AutoMAID technology. Nexsan DeDupe SG is the only
high-performance, data deduplication solution with AutoMAID
technology delivering "Speed with Green" to improve operational
efficiency.
"The Nexsan DeDupe SG solution solves two very pressing customer
needs -- reducing capacity costs and improving operating
efficiency," said Michael McGuire, chief commercial officer for
Nexsan. "With over 20 years of combined experience, FalconStor and
Nexsan together continue their traditions of innovation by
redefining deduplication and power efficiency and providing our
global network of channel partners with a differentiated offering
in one of the fastest growing market segments."
FalconStor FDS, the deduplication engine for the Nexsan DeDupe
SG family, is a block-level deduplication software solution that
presents a network share interface as a backup repository, offering
customers an easy-to-use, space-saving option for writing data
efficiently and cost-effectively to disk. Nexsan DeDupe SG
maximizes interoperability with all data sources, including
disk-to-disk backup and archiving applications. It also can be
deployed in any physical or virtual infrastructure environment,
offering file-level access to a central block-level deduplication
repository. Nexsan DeDupe SG uses policy-based concurrent and
post-process deduplication methods for maximum flexibility. The
product supports all major backup software, directly accepts Oracle
RMAN, Microsoft SQL and other database dumps, and provides
integrated data replication and deduplication.
"The Nexsan DeDupe SG system family offers the only solution
that delivers both high-performance data deduplication and
automated energy savings," said Wendy Petty, vice president of
North American Sales for FalconStor Software. "This
FalconStor/Nexsan joint solution is focused on small-to-mid-sized
enterprises but is attractive for all storage users. We are excited
to offer this solution through Nexsan's global channel network,
leveraging their industry-leading closed channel lead registration
model."
"We see this joint solution as a win-win situation for the
channel," said Greg Knieriemen, vice president of Chi Corporation,
a solutions provider specializing in data storage, backup and
disaster recovery. "The combination of high-performance
deduplication with the dramatic reduction of energy consumption
makes this solution a 'must have' in nearly every IT environment
concerned about reducing storage costs, power costs and the
physical footprint for storage."
