Master Agent Featured Articles

FalconStor (News - Alert) Software, a Melville, N.Y-based provider of disk-based data protection solutions, announced it has entered into a managed services and master agent agreement with HP Enterprise Services.

Under the terms of the agreement, FalconStor will offer its Network Storage Server (NSS) software to create new disaster recovery and business continuity offerings for HP Business Continuity & Recovery Services or “BCRS” customers.

With FalconStor’s software, HP Enterprise Services will be able to add new heterogeneous replication services to the comprehensive offerings of HP BCRS as well as the full data protection capabilities of the FalconStor NSS solution, company officials stated.

“The FalconStor NSS solution's heterogeneous replication feature provides HP's Business Continuity & Recovery Services a critical capability that allows HP to replicate between any brand of storage to and from the customer site and the BCRS recovery site,” said Bernie Wu, vice president of business development for FalconStor, in a statement.

“We look forward to working with HP and providing leading products in the growing market for cloud-based replication and DR solutions,” Wu added.

FalconStor is known for its “TOTALLY Open” technology solutions, which are built upon the award-winning IPStor platform. Important offerings from FalconStor include Virtual Tape Library with deduplication, Continuous Data Protector, File-interface Deduplication System and NSS.

Each of FalconStor solutions is enabled with WAN-optimized replication for disaster recovery and remote office protection, and the HyperFS file system.

Earlier in June FalconStor Software announced FalconStor Japan and Fujitsu (News - Alert) Software Technologies or “FST” entered into a business partnership. Under this agreement, FST will resell FalconStor's backup and disaster recovery solutions in the Japanese market and provide consulting services, system deployment and post-sales support to customers.

This master agent agreement is bound to be profitable for all parties.
