This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on December 15, 2007 at 3:36 pm
FalconStor Software, Inc. announced that Whole Health Management, Inc., a leading operator
of on-site corporate health and wellness centers, has implemented the
FalconStor Network Storage Server (NSS), powered by the FalconStor
IPStor virtualization platform. Chi Corporation, a leading FalconStor
Solution Provider partner, integrated the FalconStor IPStor SAN
consisting of two NSS appliances into Whole Health´s existing SAN
infrastructure.
Chi integrated two NSS appliances into a High Availability
(HA) cluster with 24 drives each, housed at Whole Health´s secure data
center, to manage Whole Health´s SAN infrastructure. The SAN hosts
Whole Health´s critical business operations data and utilizes TimeMark
snapshots and replication option between the FalconStor NSS at the main
office and the remote data center for disaster recovery.
“We store everything from email to confidential electronic
medical records,” said Chuck Siemon, Chief Information Officer at Whole
Health. “The FalconStor NSS saves us time and money, optimizing the use
of disk space and no longer requiring the reconfiguring or ordering of
new disks for each server we purchase. Due to the FalconStor NSS´
snapshot capabilities, we have a solution that is better than data
encryption for protecting copies of our data. We are confident that the
FalconStor NSS will keep our confidential healthcare data secure and in
compliance with HIPAA regulations.”
Whole Health chose the FalconStor NSS as a long-term solution that will
grow with their data. Currently, they are using approximately 60
percent of their 4TB capacity.
“Our partnership with FalconStor gives Chi Corporation access to
technology that solves very specific business problems for our
customers,” said John R. Thome, Jr., Vice President at Chi Corporation.
“Whole Health has a need to store tremendous amounts of data and to
make accommodations for large scale future storage needs. The
FalconStor solution allowed Chi to differentiate itself from the
competition.”
