FalconStor Software Named a 2009 Tech Innovator by Everything Channel's CRN
MELVILLE, N.Y. --(Business Wire)--
FalconStor (News - Alert) Software, Inc. (NASDAQ:FALC), the provider of TOTALLY Open™ data protection solutions, today announced that it was named a 2009 Tech Innovator by Everything Channel's CRN for its FalconStor® File-interface Deduplication System (FDS) in the Storage category. Everything Channel's Tech Innovator listing celebrates technology vendors that have introduced new solutions that drive advances throughout the technology channel.
FalconStor FDS helps users minimize online storage capacity requirements for backup and archiving applications. As a capacity-optimized storage repository, its capacity requirements for disk-to-disk (D2D) backup applications can be reduced by as much as 20 times or more by eliminating redundancies resulting from backup operations. FalconStor FDS enables cost-effective disaster recovery (DR) by sending only unique, deduplicated data across the wide area network (WAN).
"This award confirms our commitment to provide our channel partners with solutions that not only protect, but also improve the management of growing data repositories and server infrastructures," said Wendy Petty (News - Alert), FalconStor vice president of North American Sales. "FalconStor FDS is designed to ease into any backup environment without disruption and to dramatically reduce storage consumption, giving immediate value to any IT environment. It gives our partners maximum potential profit margin through less overhead, easier deployment and the reduction of overall backup costs. It is gratifying to be recognized for the tremendous amount of effort and investment that FalconStor has put into creating a deduplication solution that is truly a win-win for the channel."
"Innovation has been a critical, driving force behind growth and expansion of the IT industry since its inception and that innovation continues to this day. As a result of the steady, hard and often unheralded work in the R&D labs throughout the industry, technology, cultural and business leadership happens every day," said Robert C. DeMarzo, senior vice president and editorial director, Everything Channel. "Congratulations to this year's innovators. We applaud you on your success."
The Tech Innovators were nominated by their individual companies and final selections were made by the editors of CRN. In order to participate, products were required to have been introduced (as a new product or significant upgrade) after August 1, 2008, and all products were required to be shipping in volume by July 30, 2009.
