MELVILLE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 7, 2006--FalconStor Software, Inc. (Nasdaq: FALC), the premier developer of adaptive data protection solutions, announced today that its Virtual Tape Library 3.1 product has been selected as one of SearchStorage.com and Storage magazine's "2005 Products of the Year" in the backup and disaster recovery software category.
Award winners were judged by a team of users, industry experts, analysts, consultants and the Storage Media Group editorial staff. Criteria for selection included product innovation, performance, ease of integration into the environment, ease of use and manageability, functionality and value.
"With ever-growing data stores, shrinking backup windows and time-consuming process of restoring from tape, many shops are turning to disk for relief," note SearchStorage editors. "Making a disk subsystem look like a tape library is a popular backup option. With VirtualTape Library, FalconStor integrates with and emulates dozens of tape libraries from leading vendors. FalconStor's latest revision of its popular virtual tape library (VTL) software builds on a widely implemented disk-based backup product. The bottom line: FalconStor VirtualTape Library is a good VTL product that has gotten even better."
Designed to contain escalating costs, FalconStor solutions enable companies to aggregate heterogeneous, distributed storage capacity and centralize administration of both storage resources and business-critical data services such as backup, snapshot, replication, and migration. Companies benefit from lower administrative overhead, elimination of storage over-provisioning, boundless scalability, and the ability to make cost-effective storage allocation and purchasing decisions.
"We are especially pleased to be recognized by the editors of TechTarget's SearchStorage.com and Storage magazine with a Product of the Year award," said Don Mead, vice president of marketing, FalconStor. "It's an honor to have our work receive special accolades considering we're up against hundreds of other companies and only 15 are chosen for this award. We plan to continue our tradition of building innovative products that address the real-world challenges our customer face every day with their data protection needs."
