Collaboration Between AC&NC and FalconStor

FalconStor Software, Inc. announced the integration between its long-term data retention and reinstatement solutions and Advanced Computer & Network Corporation (AC&NC), in on-premise storage.

The joint offering delivers solutions to customers, providing massive scalability and performance for deduplicated backup and archival storage. The integration between JetStor and FalconStor systems ensures that information is safely preserved, and business and regulatory mandates are easily met.

With data deduplication, FalconStor’s solutions delivers reduced backup and archive storage cost when deployed with AC&NC solutions. In addition, they include 40TB/hour data ingest performance and a zero-trust security model, which allows customers to own and manage their encryption keys.

FalconStor’s heterogeneous architecture is compatible with nearly all backup solutions and integrates with a customer’s existing backup and archive environments, including those for IBM I ProtectTIER that is end-of-life in October. Thanks to a physical tape import feature, FalconStor allows the simple tape migration of legacy data from tape to virtual tape for cost-effective storage of deduplicated data onto AC&NC systems.

The JetStor 816F storage system when coupled with FalconStor’s StorSafe provides mid-sized organizations with persistent, long-term, archive storage that is secure and cost-effective. The JetStor 824FX array offers a storage repository for enterprise environments that scales to multiple petabytes of capacity.

“We welcome AC&NC as a valued technology partner,” said Carter McCrary, FalconStor CRO. “The joint integration between AC&NC JetStor hardware and StorSafe, our long-term data retention and reinstatement solution, and StorGuard, our BC solution, will reduce storage costs, while increasing data portability and accessibility. It leverages both companies’ technologies to efficiently help customers manage their BC and long-term data requirements as retention period mandates in compliance, regulatory, legal discovery, and privacy continue to expand.“

“The JetStor 816F FC SAN and JetStor 824FX platforms are designed for enterprises of all sizes that demand storage that is robust, blazingly fast, and yet economical,” said Gene Leyzarovich, president, AC&NC. “AC&NC’s arrays have always been popular for their reliability and performance, but by working with FalconStor, we offer unequalled simplicity and content that is rapidly available via remote access, which is critical for today’s work environments.“
