FalconStor Software and eSeSIX Collaborate to Offer a Virtual Tape Library Appliance that Accelerates Backup and Optimizes Business Continuity in Germany
New VTL Appliance Strengthens Existing Relationship and Complements eSeSIX's Current Portfolio
MUNICH, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 20, 2004-- FalconStor Software, Inc. (Nasdaq:FALC), a leading developer of network storage infrastructure software solutions, and eSeSIX Computer GmbH, a leading storage reseller and distributor based in Pfaffenhofen, today announced that the companies have strengthened their existing relationship by collaborating on a new solution that will enable eSeSIX to deliver a Virtual Tape Library Appliance (VTL(TM) Appliance) powered by FalconStor's flagship product, IPStor(R) enterprise level software.
The VTL Appliance will complement eSeSIX's existing portfolio of storage products, including its own SANCenter solution appliances, also powered by IPStor. The VTL Appliance from eSeSIX enhances the speed and reliability of existing third party backup applications by using disks to emulate industry standard tape libraries, and by transferring data to, and restoring it from, disk-based virtual tape at ultra high speeds. The appliance also maximizes reliability by removing robotic mechanical failures and physical tape media errors.
"Our agreement with FalconStor already enables us to offer our enterprise customers storage solutions based on proven, award-winning technology," said Andreas Muller, sales manager, storage systems, eSeSIX. "This collaboration is a great example of addressing the needs of mid-sized organizations and data center managers needing a cost-effective, reliable, integrated, immediate backup and restore solution."
"The VTL Appliance is a natural extension of our relationship with eSeSIX. They already have the expertise and experience of delivering solutions powered by IPStor," said Guy Berlo, regional director, central region, FalconStor. "This collaboration has resulted in a solution that is ideal for mid-range companies requiring a compact, efficient solution to data storage backup and recovery, as it offers customers fully integrated near-line data archival solutions that minimize overhead, without sacrificing management functionality--a real competitive advantage in today's demanding IT market."
