FalconStor Teams Up With V2 to Deliver Enterprise Data Protection Solutions 'In a Box'

FalconStor Software and V2 Electronics today announced a new range
of storage appliances based on V2's portfolio of hardware platforms
and FalconStor's sophisticated, award-winning data protection
solutions. By bundling specific FalconStor data protection
functionality with V2's long-established hardware and pre-certifying
each combination, V2 and FalconStor are simplifying the deployment of
advanced, enterprise-level data protection solutions. The certified V2
data protection solutions will be available from V2 Electronics across
Europe.

Initially three specific solutions from FalconStor's IPStor(R)
platform have been bundled with V2 hardware: FalconStor VirtualTape
Library (VTL), FalconStor Continuous Data Protection (CDP), and
FalconStor Network Storage System (NSS). All three types of appliances
will come in five models: from the entry-level 110 for small satellite
offices, to the 210 and the 220, which offer built-in storage
capacity, to the 310 and the 350, for the SME and enterprise data
centres/head offices, for attachment to existing or new external
storage devices.

Paul Hickingbotham, Solutions Manager, V2, said: "Resellers will
welcome the ease of specification, pricing, and deployment of the new
V2/FalconStor appliances, which will enable a cleaner, more efficient,
transparent sales process both for the reseller and the customer.

"FalconStor has an outstanding track record and a great reputation
for delivering advanced data protection services via specialised
appliances," he added. "We believe our customers will welcome the
opportunity to acquire such advanced software on hardware platforms
they've grown to know and trust for more than a decade."

Belgian integrator Comparex is one of the first resellers to take
delivery of one of the new appliances, on behalf of its customer
Mutualites Socialistes du Hainaut Occidental. Lieven De Smedt, Chief
Executive Officer, Comparex Belgium, said: "Customers want to buy
predictability and reliability as well as functionality. This is a
great advantage of these certified appliances."

Danielle Gauthier, Vice President of Marketing, FalconStor EMEA,
said: "In increasingly complex IT environments, it is a huge advantage
for IT managers to be able to install data protection solutions that
are tried, trusted, and the most advanced of their kind. A solution
such as this one, combining top-notch software and hardware, is the
result of strategic collaboration, testing, and development. For
customers, the cross-certification of V2 hardware with FalconStor
software results in a compelling package of advanced data protection
services that is easy to implement and simple to manage."

All future revisions and software upgrades to either FalconStor
software or V2 hardware will automatically result in a recertification
process, to ensure long-term, ongoing, issue-free data protection
deployments.
