Hypernode to Deliver “SAN on Demand” in Australia

FalconStor Software Inc. announced that Hypernode, part of the iCITA group of companies, has chosen FreeStor, an industry horizontal converged data services platform, to deliver simplified and affordable storage on demand throughout facilities located in Sydney, Central Coast, and Melbourne.

Hypernode, headquartered in Sydney, Australia, owns and operates enterprise datacenter infrastructures, dedicated to providing secure platforms for public, private or hybrid cloud environments. By taking away the high setup costs and complexity, Hypernode is positioned to deliver simple, scalable and cost-effective virtual, dedicated or physical infrastructure to meet all size resellers, partners and end user needs – the result is complete managed and redundant cloud solutions built to fit specific business requirements.

“Hypernode’s exclusive sangrid represents true on-demand storage with the advantage of enterprise DR, continuity and protection solutions, implemented in just the right way for your needs.” said Josh Tipping, CTO, Hypernode. “The FreeStor software-defined storage platform is fundamental to our sanprotect DR and BC architecture, along with providing our sandirect self-service software-defined SAN the flexibility and scale to cater for the most demanding enterprise environments.“

FreeStor unlocks storage opportunities, allowing IT managers, MSPs, and CSPs to maximize efficiencies and lower costs while taking advantage of the cloud, hybrid cloud, flash storage and software-defined storage. The platform provides data mobility as well as BC in moving any workload from an on-premise environment to any cloud infrastructure, enabling DR, backup and optimized storage infrastructure. Thanks to FalconStor’s ‘Pay Once’ capacity pricing model, users pay for the primary copy of data, not second, third, or more copies.

“Our unique ‘Pay Once’ capacity-based subscription pricing model is ideally suited to our MSP and CSP partnerships,” said David Bull, FalconStor technical sales director. “Service providers leveraging our FreeStor software-only platform need only pay for their customers’ production data – therefore incurring no additional licensing costs when migrating, backing up, and optimizing data, further eliminating unpredictable capacity expansion costs often associated with traditional storage platforms.“
