FalconStor Speeds VMware Backups

February 26, 2009: Falconstor has rolled out a new solution that it says offers zero-impact backups on VMware Consolidated Backup (VCB), eliminating disruptions caused by backup windows in traditional physical environments.

Called HyperTrac Backup Accelerator for VCB, the company says that the backup enhancement option integrates with FalconStor’s Network Storage Server (NSS), further extending NSS’s services to VMware Infrastructure by optimising VCB backups and minimise impact on virtual machines and the storage servicing those environments.

Falconstor says that these no-impact backups enabled by HyperTrac provide high performance backup for virtual machines, eliminating the disruption of backup windows.

“VMware continues to work closely with FalconStor to extend the value of VMware Infrastructure and bring innovative storage virtualisation and data protection solutions to our customers,” said Parag Patel, vice president, alliances, VMware.

“FalconStor’s HyperTrac Backup Accelerator for VMware Consolidated Backup enables VMware and FalconStor to provide customers with simplified, integrated, and optimised backup solutions.”
