FalconStor Qualifies NSS and CDP for HP EVA

FalconStor Software, Inc. has successfully tested the FalconStor Network
Storage Server (NSS) and FalconStor Continuous Data Protector (CDP)
solutions with the HP StorageWorks 4400 Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA),
with 8Gb/s Fibre Channel switches and Host Bus Adapters (HBAs).

Like FalconStor NSS and FalconStor CDP, the HP EVA 4400 is
8Gb/s Fibre Channel-ready. The certification means that customers
planning to use either FalconStor NSS or FalconStor CDP, based on the
IPStor platform, can take advantage of their combination with the HP
StorageWorks 4400 EVA to acquire both a true high availability solution
and full CDP functionality with the industry´s fastest performing SAN
infrastructure.

The HP StorageWorks 4400 Enterprise Virtual Array offers an
easily deployed enterprise-class virtual storage array at an affordable
price for the mid-sized customer. EVA virtualization is designed to
improve capacity and to reduce management complexities, thereby
lowering the total cost of ownership compared to traditional arrays.
For customers who are looking for a high performance, scalable,
reliable and highly available storage solution that can be installed in
just an hour, the EVA4400 fits well.

The FalconStor NSS is a software solution that provisions virtual disks
to hosts via Fibre Channel, iSCSI or InfiniBand, providing
enterprise-class performance, compatibility, reliability, and
heterogeneous storage management. Data snapshots taken by the built-in
FalconStor TimeMark option can be used for data protection and
recovery. FalconStor NSS uses thin provisioning and Capacity on
Demand (COD) to avoid storage underutilization.

Guido Klenner, senior business manager, Online Storage, HP StorageWorks
Division Germany, said, “An aspect of FalconStor CDP and FalconStor NSS
that we are particularly impressed with is that the way that it enables
us to address customer requirements for a transparent mirror in VMware
environments. This is a key feature, made straightforward.”
